  1. New Grads: Lets take action together!!

    aubrn posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    New Grads, I just have a simple idea to help us all out of this situation where we cannot get jobs because no hospitals are hiring new graduates anymore. I think if we ban together and get...

  2. Asking for constructive criticism and persistance?

    aubrn posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a new graduate, so I ofcourse I need guidance from what I call real nurses. I had an interview at a hospital with a nurse manager who ended up sick on the day of the interview for the CSU or ICU....

  3. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why with hundreds of unfilled positions is no one hiring new grads. What is the logical reason behind this? Is there a logical reason? Has this ever happened in the history of nursing before? I feel...

  4. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You know thats a really good way to look at things. I wonder how many nurses are supporting their families like that, probably numerable

  5. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I havent done all those things, but I am going to do them. Thank you for the hug, I need it, lol now Im tearing

  6. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah sorry about that. I feel better knowing the real reasons now, because as a new grad I dont know and thats the whole problem. I never consider that I lost a position to an experience nurse,...

  7. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good information, I think I am going to offer up in the interview that if someone gives me a chance, I will not abandon them as that was what one NM was talking about to me. I love the ICU, but the...

  8. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    R u kidding me. UGH well, I guess its best to know now before I went into that

  9. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I dont think the older generation is pushing us out either, I just want to believe its some reason that is easily fixable? Plus, I think I am just equating interview, open position, NM's within the...

  10. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i see its making sense to me now. darn it for making sense. i know eventually they will have to start hiring new grads again, its impossible not to but how many of us will there be at that point. i am...

  11. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, I see what you mean. Even if I am the fastest learner; which I am it doesn't hold a candle to a nurse with experience. The one NM who interviewed me said I hired so-so and she was in training...

  12. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I do not want to get into really personal stuff here, but this means freedom for myself and my children. I basically put it all on the line and promised my kids a better life, and despite it all the...

  13. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I see why a manager would hire experienced over new grad too, no question there. I just don't see why they would leave a position unfilled just to not hire a new grad. I know many nurses that jumped...

  14. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You know I have heard that too. BTW, you seem to know about almost everything. I should just ask you specifically 1st. How not funny it would be for that to have been made up because the cost of...

  15. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Okay, I thought I wanted a logical answer. I lied, that sucks. Plus, there is all this jumping ship going on. Thats insane it costs that much to train a new grad, an experienced nurse can just come in...

  16. OK, so I am whining but....

    aubrn replied to qaqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Me, and hundreds maybe thousands of new nurses will take that position you hate so much off your hands for you without a second thought. No one can get a job right now, be glad for the paycheck...

  17. Unemployed & inexperienced New RNs. Vent it out!

    aubrn replied to captain byakuya's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have 3 kids too, passed boards in June too, and Christmas is coming for me too. I feel like I ruined my families future. I have extreme debt now. I pray to, for you, me, and the rest of us being...

  18. Unemployed & inexperienced New RNs. Vent it out!

    aubrn replied to captain byakuya's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Umm, your story about covers my story and all the rest of us new grads out there. I think it rather dumb of all these hospitals to shun a whole generation of new nurses, who are they planning on...

  19. Going green makes me red in the face

    aubrn replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I am a paper writer too. I cant imagine. I would bring in my own paper and transpose the information, sure it will take longer than printing but I could not work without my sheets? Lol, you made some...

  20. Asking for constructive criticism and persistance?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the advice. Your right why am I sitting here worrying about that when it is SO hard to get a job. I don't mind where I will have to work because I know I am at the bottom of the food chain...

  21. Asking for constructive criticism and persistance?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If that aint the truth!!!!!!! I wish they would prepare for reality in school rather than making everything seem so easy and simple with bad advice. GREAT POINT! I'll start

  22. Discrimination, discrimination.. Tell me what you think.

    aubrn replied to MaravillosaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Funny, I think the same thing happened to me and from the other new hires I can probably prove but whats the use. Mine was the nurse manager, she looked at me and decided. I know it. Funny also, I...

  23. very general question...

    aubrn replied to ender's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nurse too. Sure we taught to do things a certain way in school and it all makes sense. I was taught what you were taught. Whose patient was it? Was the nurse you were working along side an...

  24. Asking for constructive criticism and persistance?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wish nursing school would be honest like this because all of the nurses at school and even my good friends that are nurses are telling me it is appropriate to ask for feedback? Im so confused what...

  25. Asking for constructive criticism and persistance?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good point. To be honest, for my hospital interviews, most have been rushed like that (not all though). Its nice to hear what real nurses have to say because I dont see the things that a real nurse...
