  1. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    I agree, it is refreshing to hear a neutral response on here that is covid vaccine related. I'm vaccinated myself, but I've also been on both sides. Honestly all the negativity, bullying and...
  2. That's understandable, Upstate NY in general has a much lower cost of living than the NYC Metro area. It's crazy that it doesn't matter how much money one makes, if the cost of living is too high...
  3. I'm sorry, $11,000-13,000 a month after tax? What would it be before tax then? ? Is this for an APRN role or staff RN role? Sorry for the questions, just that NYC doesn't pay anywhere close to that...
  4. Which Nurse are You?

    I guiltily have to admit that Late-Charting Linda was me. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and like to make sure I didn't miss any charting after my shift. And on the rough nights, sometimes I wouldn't...
  5. Which Nurse are You?

    You're missing one: Late-Charting Linda: that nurse who always stayed back to chart for at least 30 minutes to an hour after shift change. Negative Nancy thought she was doing it for the...
  6. How long did it take you to get your first RN job?

    I graduated with honors with a BSN way back in mid-2009. Finally landed the job last year. So that took me almost four years. Nobody wanted new grads and I was volunteering at a hospital which luckily...

    I would say keep on applying and don't give up, even if getting a job seems impossible. I know all about that, I graduated with honors from a top, private, very expensive nursing school, passed boards...
  8. Unemployed & inexperienced New RNs. Vent it out!

    I'm in the same boat here, though you could hardly call me "new." I've been looking since 2009 so if anyone thinks their situation is bad, there's always someone out there who has it worse. A tale of...
  9. I don't want night shifts

    I wouldn't mind working night shifts; in fact, I'd prefer it once I was done with training. I guess it's because I've always been a night person. A night shift differential would be the extra icing on...
  10. During this rough economic time, I'm told time and time again that nursing is cyclical, that in time, things will open up again and nursing will once again be as in demand as it was ten years ago. But...
  11. How long did you stay at your 1st job?

    I'll let you know when I finally get one. After waiting so many years for one though, I assume I'd stay at that first job as long as
  12. Is an RN refresher course even worth it at this point?

    I appreciate all of the advice, the thing is, I am applying for less desirable jobs like nursing homes and like I had already mentioned, I am looking at other areas to work. So far, the nursing homes...
  13. Hey everyone, I'm having a dilemma and I need some input. I finished nursing school with honors (BSN) and received my license from the summer of '09 and have been looking for RN work since then....
  14. To answer your question Manhattanite, I'm also from the NYC area and I graduated from nursing school over 2 years ago and it's been really hard finding a job. Every facility wants people with...
