I'm a new RN. My first job is in a behavioral health facility and I'm super excited, but what do I bring with me to work? Is a small tote bag ok? I would like to have my drug book, stethoscope, pen light, pens, clipboard. Anything else I may be forgetting? Thanks!
I'm a new RN and have done several online applications to try to get a job and for all but one I got no response and for the one I got a response from they would like to pursue other applicants. I don't have any prior job experience and dont have anything special to put on my resume to make me stand out. I don't even know if my resume and cover letter are good or not. I've never had to make one before and I can't afford to pay someone to make one for me. My GPA was 3.3. I wasn't in any special programs in high school or nursing school. I did my clinical rotations at the hospitals I'm applying at. On the application where it asks for years of experience, do clinical rotations count or do we put 0 years. Should I apply to all the RN positions for the local hospitals or does that look too desperate? I am kinda desperate at this point. There are a lot of RN positions open, but I'm not getting any response. Should I do a different cover letter for each position I apply for at the same hospital? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
