  3. So bitter? So soon?

    CP2013 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In this lack of a nursing shortage, I'm angered when I see timid, unprofessional, new grads getting jobs and then complaining they don't want the job because they deserve more money. I have joined...

    CP2013 replied to mhy12784's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  5. Small children visiting patients in the critical care setting... thoughts??

  6. New Grad RN Training- Take it or Leave it?

    CP2013 replied to aznbc105's topic in Nursing Career

    I would do it, because that's 8-10 weeks of skills you can practice until you find a job. If you are going to be looking for work for 4-5 months, why not keep up on skills and be able to carry that...

  10. New grad friendly parts of NC?

    CP2013 replied to CP2013's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm hoping to be in a city, not any place too rural - is Burlington rural? I've only ever heard of my friends visiting Raleigh, Duram, or Greensboro, so those are the only areas I have any remote idea...

    CP2013 replied to CP2013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You're right, they may make good nurses with their poker faces. As they can continue to use a job as a stepping stone and still be good, doesn't mean they should trash talk the job, they should at...

  15. So bitter? So soon?

    CP2013 replied to CP2013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In my area, you either have a job because you were working on the unit already (I wasn't so lucky to land a tech job even after 37 applications) or because of a sweet reaction placement (strike 2 for...

    CP2013 replied to CP2013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks, it was a vent. I am a very positive person but 75+ applications and no interviews is already wearing me down. I will keep plugging way at it after I have my license in hand, but it's still...
