   Help!! Can new grad BSNs start in Long Term Care and move to the Hospital Setting?

   Chi Town RN, BSN replied to Sehille4774's topic in General Career

   I know around 2-3 people who could not find a hospital job and ended up taking a nursing home position. They worked there for 3-4 months tops, and ended up getting a hospital job. I too will be starting a LTC facility tomorrow because I could not find a "real" nursing job.

   New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

   Chi Town RN, BSN replied to lperkrn's topic in General Career

   Thanks for the tips. I cant even score temp jobs. Its the lack of experience and being a new grads. Everyone turns the other way when they see that. But I may have opportunities in Case Management or Nurse Reviewer. I was just wondering if that would hurt me in the long run career wise, or if there are several other areas I can take that experience.

   OR RN vs Case Management?

   Chi Town RN, BSN replied to ruralgirl08's topic in Case Management

   I am a new grad and I am having trouble finding a job, esp without any experience. I have found a few non-clinical positions (Case management, Nurse Reviewer) that will hire new grads. My question is, will starting my career in non-clinical positions hurt my career or slow it down since I will not be practicing my hands on/patient care skills?

    Career Move, new Grad RN

    Chi Town RN, BSN posted a topic in First Year

    As a new grad without any experience in health care, I find it difficult to find a clinical job. I was wondering if working as a case manager or nurse reviewer would be a unwise career move. Thoughts?
