I graduated December 2010, obtained my license in February 2011, and looked for jobs for over 1 year. I must have submitted far over 100 applications to new graduate RN programs and far over 300 to everywhere else, for any position; and really came c...

rcv88 While I was looking for work I was focusing primarily on obtaining additional certifications and figuring out ways to make ends meet to pay the bills. I heard about many individuals doing volunteer work, but this just didn't fit my schedule so ...

What I learned from the interviews: 1.) Be confident, but humble. 2.) It is obvious that we do not know everything in those 1000s of pages we've read in nursing school, but if they ask you a question regarding something you do not know - don't say y...

Thanks everyone!! zorabanks I live in Los Angeles so I was looking for work all over California, Washington, and Colorado. mzjazeej Luckily I was able to stay in Los Angeles and I'm very thankful. One thing that I realized was that even though I didn...

CCRNDiva: I have been looking into OB volunteer opportunities and it's pretty insane.. there's an application, interview process, waiting list - OB is definitely very competitive. The environment really is far less stressful than other units I did my...

I have always been interested in becoming an OB-GYN or possibly a NP in Woman's Health or even Midwifery - I'm flustered and all over the place. I graduated from nursing school last December 2010 but I have been having difficulty finding work (yep, s...

Anayo: Thanks for the advice, I have been looking more heavily into volunteer opportunities in my area and in the units I am interested in as well. I have also been applying to anything I can get my hands on, I have been far from picky. Your post was...

I graduated last December from CSULA, so I have yet to take the RPS course. The market has been tough.. looking for a job has been.. extremely difficult.

I also received that e-mail, but I haven't heard anything about SHARP other than the material on the website to be honest.

Congrats! What an amazing early Christmas gift!

Has anyone received any news about the PSCU program?

For the units that are interviewing additional candidates.. did they give out calls of rejection already?

missE, good luck to us both! :)

MissE, I feel it went well, she seems like a great superior to work under. The interview was fluid & she asked plenty of questions. She has a great way of just putting you at ease. How did your interview go?

I interviewed for that unit as well. The UD said she would let us know the results of her decision after Thanksgiving. As far as I know she will be calling all of us individually to let us know whether or not we get a job offer.

Trying my best, thank you :)

I just received a rejection e-mail from White Memorial. Good luck to everyone still in the running.

Just got a rejection e-mail. Best of luck to those still in the running!

It's nice that they'll be calling either way, knowing where we stand is always a good thing. Thanks for the info :)

Believe me, I know exactly what you mean. I graduated1 year ago and I am still looking for work

The best thing to do when struck with a question you can't initially answer is to.. stop, take a breath, collect your thoughts, and then answer. We've all been trained with the same material - you CAN answer these questions. Don't let the fear get th...

It seemed like a critical thinking exercise you would do as a homework assignment in nursing school. More difficult than what I had expected, but I could attribute it to me being out of school for almost 1 year. Content wise it was covered during our...

Thanks for the update! It's nice to have their "last day" in mind, waiting by the phone is enough torture.

Has anyone who applied to the NICU heard anything from HR?

Just received a call today for a Nov. 9th interview, don't give up ICU-ers!
