  1. 5th take but cali board is asking for requirements

    perioddrama replied to bummed82386's topic in Nurse Registration

    Did you try the Pearson trick? Waiting for NCLEX results can be nerve-racking. Good

  2. Looking for job in Southern California

    perioddrama replied to katielynn10's topic in California Nursing

    Please, please, please do your research. New grads are having a horrible time finding a job. I'm over 2 years without an RN job. Utterly, utterly depressing. There are THOUSANDS of applicants for the...

  3. I want to start a support thread for us unemployed New Grads in California

    perioddrama replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in California Nursing

    You are not alone. I too, am considered way too old to be a new grad, despite my never having worked as an RN, all because of when I graduated. Hospitals like the fresher new grads, but what is left...

    perioddrama replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in California Nursing

    Some schools (at least in my area) don't require you to have acute peds experience, but you have to have a school nurse cert license. So that's money to the school board people and you have to have...

    perioddrama replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in California Nursing

    I'm pretty sure most new grads do apply to the non-hospital jobs. I know I have, and the response tends to be that they want experienced nurses. Home health doesn't want me because there "are certain...

    perioddrama replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in California Nursing

    See that's what's great about coming to this thread with people that actually understand and we can vent and cry together. My dirty little secret is that I've been unemployed for over two years...

    perioddrama replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in California Nursing

    I have a wish list as well! And I internet browser shop (instead of window shopping, saves gas to get to the stores). A trip to Disneyland sounds nice, especially before they jack up the prices...

    perioddrama replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in California Nursing

    I also scroll through DailyFail and they had this article about Moms making a Youtube video about being Housewives. It was hilarious. If they can do it, we can too. Lol. It'd be awesome if new grads...

    I've applied to each time they post the NGP, and I've never gotten a phone call. Good

  15. I want to start a support thread for us unemployed New Grads in California

    perioddrama replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in California Nursing

    So true. The (irksome) two phrases I have been noticing when I am applying to RN jobs, whether they be nursing homes or in the hospital: 1) 1+ years of experience required 2) "No New Grads (need)...

  16. Any foreign graduate nurses in LA without a job?

    perioddrama replied to scarlet14's topic in California Nursing

    That's the crux of the problem. Just know you are not alone and there are other forums/social media places to voice your frustration when it seems like the general public does not understand that...

  17. Any foreign graduate nurses in LA without a job?

    perioddrama replied to scarlet14's topic in California Nursing

    Doesn't matter where you graduated from. New grads are having an horrid time finding a job. Sad, but true. Make sure you get all the certs you can - BLS (obviously), ACLS, PALS (if you are pediatric...

  19. Graduate Programs in the Boston-area

    perioddrama replied to Boston0621's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You sound like you are a very good candidate for grad school. CRNA school tends to require at least a year of paid RN work experience. While you are finishing up your undergrad, pick what path you...

  20. NV NCLEX applicant that was denied in CA

    perioddrama replied to beeseason's topic in Nurse Registration

    perioddrama replied to smitty192's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two points. First, sorry to burst your bubble, but as a new grad RN, jobs are extremely difficult to come by. Don't believe me? Do a quick search on the forum; there are numerous threads with new...
