After almost 8 months since graduation, my job hunt has gone from 0 to 60 in just about two weeks! Last week I interviewed for two positions-- one, a new grad internship in the NICU and the other, a...

Haha! I came across your original post just a few hours before I went in for an interview as well, for the same internship. Good luck to you guys, maybe we can be coworkers soon!

These are too funny! My first "prankster patient" got me on my second day of clinicals, as a brand-new and still-terrified nursing student. She was by far the youngest patient on the unit, only in...
So a few weeks ago I posted my resume on Monster.com. I'm a new graduate and I'm getting more and more desperate by the day... I'm subbing at a daycare but no nursing job on the horizon, and money's...

Like you said, this comes down to your own decision on the matter. If after a lot of consideration you don't think that nursing is what you want to do, then I would say follow your heart and go with...

Thanks for your input! I am leaning toward emailing the manager just because I don't know what else I can ask the recruiter to do, if he has in fact already forwarded my resume. I just don't want to...
So about a month ago now, I emailed a nurse recruiter at a hospital nearby that I would love to work for. He forwarded my email to another recruiter, who emailed me back to say that he had sent my...

@ smurfynursey, Wow, thanks so much for the reply! That's a great point I hadn't thought of, that LTC is how the kids live versus a temporary interruption like an inpatient admission might be. I...
NewlyANurse replied to NewlyANurse's topic in Pediatric
Thanks for your input! I'm following up on both, because at this point any job would be a welcome opportunity. But my heart is really leaning toward the LTC place. The more I look into, the more...
Hey guys, So my ultimate nursing goal for years has been to work at a children's hospital on an inpatient pediatric floor. The hospital I'd love to work with is unfortunately not hiring new grads...
Thanks everyone! I definitely plan on sending a thank you note, to everyone I spoke with about this (apparently non-existent!) position. As for why she even agreed to speak with me knowing there...
Thanks for the input! I had the interview earlier today, but I did along the same lines as what you had said. I think I may have been borderline gushing at some points, but I held myself back. I did...
Hey guys! So I have a phone interview tomorrow. At my dream hospital. I've wanted to work at this hospital since I was 15. I've been searching for a job since even before I graduated in May, and this...
I personalize the cover letter to whatever position I'm applying for. I make sure to specifically reference some of the hospital's values, and to speak toward my skills in whatever specialty the job...
NewlyANurse replied to JRP1120, RN's topic in General Nursing
At the hospital I did my preceptorship at, the nurses were each assigned a phone at the beginning of a shift. The other nurses could use that to contact you, and you could also use it to text/page...
