tashacorinne, i noticed you said you graduated "may 2001." just wanted to let you know that the ucsf application said that applicants cannot have graduated "[color=#3c3c3c]earlier than may, 2011." that's a bummer for me too because i graduated may 2010 and still haven't found a nursing job.

I have the same question. Would you recommend I verify the BRN has my fingerprint records from when I applied for my RN licence? I am renewing for the first time this month... I don't remember for sure if I got fingerprinted or if it was sent to the BRN. I think I was fingerprinted to the take the NCLEX, but I'm not totally sure. Thank you!

Hi Amarilla, Thank you for your advice! I agree about taking a home health position with no experience... That would make me feel like the agency might be sketchy.

RNnicu42, Oh okay... That's a bummer! May ask what state you work/live in (just in case that might be different for different states)? Because of my husband's job, we have decided to stay in this area. We would move in a heartbeat if my husband didn't have this job. Thank you so much for your input!

My question: What type of experience is acceptable to later be hired as an RN on a hospital floor? My background: I graduated in California in May 2010 with a BSN. I still have not found a nursing job. Originally, I was mostly looking for New Grad programs, since I would prefer to work in the hospital setting. I was hoping to work on floor (med-surg or similar) for 1-2 years approximately and then stop working (or go very part time) so I can be a stay-at-home mom. I wanted to have that 1-2 yrs experience so I could go back to working as a nurse in the hospital setting later in life, more easily. So... Now that I have been out of school for more than a year and still haven't gotten a position in a hospital, I am planning on pursuing positions in different settings (such as, a clinic, SNF, home health, etc). I am wondering how nurse recruiters for a hospital would look at a nurse who does not have any hospital experience right out of school, but instead has only 1-2 years of experience in a different setting. Thank you in advance for your input! :-)
