I've looked through older threads and know that Memorial offers a Residency program a few times a year, but just wondering, what other opportunities are there in Colorado Springs for new nurses? I really hope to avoid any kind of commute in the direc...

Just wondering what the hiring climate is like for new graduate nurses in the Cherry Hill area. Is it highly competitive/may take 6 months or longer to find a job? Possibly moving to NJ because of husband's work; did this not terribly long ago, but t...

I was in your shoes roughly 6 years ago (wow, it's already been 6 years.) Um, I was in my last semester of nursing school when hubby got orders for Japan. I graduated in May, took NCLEX in June, and we moved in July. I applied to a few jobs I came ac...

Thank you for your response! I need to first lose about 25 lbs to "make weight" for my height and then I would want to do as you suggested, lose an additional 5-10 pounds just to be sure. I'm already down about 15 lbs and I know that I can do it, eve...

Just looking for some clarification, as I'm still learning some of the jargon. By Clinical nurse boards, do you mean for those going in that already have some experience? I was looking to apply to go to NTP, would that be considered a separate group....

I'm fairly sure -- I was on the Air Force website and selected Healthcare Recruiter and searched for the one that I thought might be the most accessible from my current location. He is in LA, so I'm thinking he just may have so many applicants/intere...

The first place would be usajobs.gov. Unfortunately, right now there is a hiring freeze. Do you have any experience? We had PCSed to Japan right after I passed NCLEX and wasn't qualified because I didn't have any experience. However, it never hurts t...

Okay, I've posted before about how long it took to hear from a recruiter. It's now been like at least 10 days and no response. Is it okay to contact another recruiter?

Hi, I have a couple of specific questions that I hope maybe some of you who have been through the process or are starting the process might be able to answer when it comes to Air Force nursing. First of all, straight away, what is the age cut off? I ...

We are in Korea -- there are opportunities to work at military clinics/hospitals, but they strongly desire people with at least 1 year experience, something I lack. And that was also the first obstacle I ran into when I first graduated with my ADN. I...

Okay, so I know I need to be patient, but I'm wondering -- when you first contacted a recruiter about applying (AF nursing) did they get back to you right away? (In another thread) I posted that I'd emailed a specific healthcare recruiter yesterday, ...

Thank you both for your replies. I have sought out one of the Healthcare Recruiters and emailed him regarding Air Force nursing. I know it is a long and selective process, but this is something I had started thinking about nearly 5 years ago and was ...

That's funny, I received your PM and just wrote you back!

We knew we were moving there about 6 months prior to actually being there. Even during that time, I started looking for jobs and contacting HR departments about any kind of new graduate nurse programs and/or externships. My hubby had gotten assigned ...

Do you have any experience? If not, I've got some bad news for you my friend. I hate to sound discouraging, but I looked for a job for a long, long time and must have applied to hundreds of jobs. Hundreds. I went on 2 interviews and never found a job...

Completed nursing school in 2007 (Associate degree.) The Air Force then promptly sent us (my husband is the Active Duty member, I'm a dependent) to Japan where I couldn't work at the base hospital because I did not have a year experience. July 2010 -...

In just about every RN job that I've come across for military installations, they have all indicated "Must have 1 year experience." Can anybody tell me if there is a loophole or a way around this? Or, is there a way to get your foot in the door -- d...

Yeah, I've applied to many nursing homes in the area, too. Hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, schools, home health, county health departments, dialysis centers, plasma collection agencies...I know you mean to be supportive, and I appreciate it, but I...

A little backstory. I graduated with my ASN in May 2007 and passed NCLEX the first time in July 2007. Due to a variety of reasons (moving, having babies, moving again) I've not worked and therefore, have not gotten any experience. My license is curre...

RN2BDFW, I guess I should have been more specific as my husband could potentially relocate to San Antonio. So, does the hiring forecast for SA seem to match what is going on in the DFW area? Thanks for your feedback!

Yes -- please update and let us know what area you are looking for work in. My husband will be relocating next year and we are considering Texas, but only if I can find a job there as it was truly impossible to find work as a nurse in our current loc...

I'm only going to copy and paste what I posted to an earlier thread... Oh, and if you aren't having any luck having your MASTERS, then I might as well just give up entirely and wait until the Air Force relocates us and save the trees that I'm killing...

I'm really confused and hoping for some clarification.... I currently hold a RN license in Utah. I haven't been able to work thanks to the MILLIONS, okay, maybe not millions, but it almost seems that way, number of nurses in this bleeping state. (Try...

This occured to me the other day... how do travel nurses work in other states? For instance, I have a friend who holds an Alabama RN license. She did some "travel nurse" work and went out to California. How did she, or any travel nurse, get around th...

If this is what you want, and it sounds like it is, I would be finding someone to fill in for you at your son's summer camp. As soon as possible, too. You can also do the whole "Hey, if you need to get away for a day, we can swap" sort of thing. In a...
