Lawyer up!! and talk to the DONs boss. wright down everything. I went to my manager about someone diverting a medication. I think all they did was tell the person that I told on them. So now a few people don't like me much. You are not alone there are D bags all over. Don't put up with the BS I would ask why your charts are being audited and what this has to do with anything. Go up the chain everyone has a boss.

I live in Denver. It is almost impossible to find a job here as a new grad. I think if you go to school here you have better chances. I didn't get a job in a hospital but it is so hard to find a job that I am just happy to have one.

good advice.. Thats what I did I think and I got a job!!

Yeah sounded like a scam to me..Some people however fall for scams like this. Thats why people still do them. lol

My father in law got scammed from monster. He was desperate for a job. It was over seas they needed money for this and that ..promise of big pay etc..

yeah me too. After 200 apps though it is hard to stay positive. I am giving it till around next summer. If nothing has happened then I am finding a good job doing something else. Or I will go in the Navy as a nurse(wich I really don't want to do. The interview stuff is a good idea. The only problem is that its so hard to get an interview. I am in Denver. There are something like 10 nursing schools here. Your resume never gets to the hiring manager sometimes. The nurse recruiters only send the ones they want to. I had an ER manager that said she might hire me. A friend told her about me. I applied. My resume never made it to her because the nurse recruiter didn't think they should hire anymore new grads. I tried to get it to her directly but then she never called me back. Maybe you will have a different experience. Good luck.

I might get a job in a place I don't want to live...just b/c of who I know nothing else. Its terrible right now. If I was thinking about going to school for nursing right now I wouldn't go now.

yep its BS.... I wish I had known.

And where would these jobs be. B/c if there are jobs I am sure people on here would love to know where???

I don't think applying for 200+ jobs is expecting a handout. I have applied at LTC, prisons, hospitals, multiple other states, Dr offices ect... I don't expect a handout but at least one interview before I am rejected by e mail (or never even contacted) would be nice.

180+ apps and counting. I might have one interview coming up. 1st one. There is no nursing shortage. Don't believe the hype. If there was one hospitals would hire new grads.

First think about how hard it is to get a job. 180+ apps and counting with no interview. Well I might have one interview b/c I know someone. Don't believe the hyped up stories about the nursing shortage. Nobody is hiring new grads. If you want to be a nurse anyway make sure you get a job in a hospital while you are in school or at least volunteer. It might help you get a job.

Redhead - I can't speak for everyone else but.... Yes of course I have a license in the state I am applying. The other states I have applied to are compact states. I have a compact license. I have completely filled out all of my applications. The problem is that most hospitals will not hire new grads. One ER director in Texas told a friend she might hire me. I applied. She has been waiting on my application. I found out yesterday that it never got to her because of the nurse recruiter. The nurse recruiter decided that they didn't need another new grad even though the ER director was interested. I am sure this happens routinely. Many new grads apps never even get to someone that will hire them.

Yeah it is very frustrating. There are no jobs. 200+ apps and nothing DON"T GO TO NURSING SCHOOL!!!!

maybe a masters in healthcare admin..but getting a job might still be hard. You could join the Navy or Air force. You might get shipped out to A stan or Iraq but that would be great experience. Or you could just work in a Navy hospital like the one in San Diego. Might not be bad officers have it pretty good. You would also get experience. When you got out you could get a job with that experience. Or you could retire in 20.
