I would like to get some insight from travel nurses on this employment agency. I've googled it and it comes up as Protouch Staffing. I've never heard of it but from the 10 reviews I've seen on Glassdoor, it appears to be a legit agency. But I still d...

I could have written this as I too have recently moved from home to another state for my first nursing job (well the first hospital one anyway) which also has me on a 2-year contract. However, the location I'm in is a neighboring state so the drive f...

Yes, things are very different now. I'm a new nurse and I've heard stories like yours from other seasoned nurses who have also been able to get into their specialties with little to no med surg experience. I hope to advance my career by transitioning...

I agree with this. I graduated from nursing school in fall 2018 and it took me 1 year to find the current hospital position I have now. Within that year, I do feel like my skills have collected dust, as I like to say. In between that time I worked a ...

Wow that is crazy. I'm sorry this happened to you. I have a friend who went to a for profit school and had a scenario like this happen to her as well. She was able to graduate 6 months later after she and a bunch of other nursing students who still w...

Hello, I am a new grad RN with a BSN. I was wondering if anyone else has interviewed with Cleveland Clinic recently? I received a request for a new grad position. What questions did they typically ask for this format? This type of video interview is ...

Hello! This was from months ago and I actually took another RN position in my home state but this interview wasn't as stressful as I thought. It was pretty straightforward but the formatting was completely new to me at the time. They give you a few a...

That's great news! Congrats! ?

Wow, interesting what a small world. It's sad how it is right now. If you don't mind, I'd love to PM you some companies that have reached out to me previously (and still do occasionally).

Exactly and that's why I've kind of accepted how picky they are being. It's like this with all of them as of late. I'm guessing you're a new grad from May 2019 correct? I'm an "old new grad" from December 2018 and have found a part-time RN job. Don't...

It's been like crickets so far. I have 3 applications still saying "under review." No changes as of lately besides 1 rejection email from one of their facilities.

You're welcome! Please update us on here if you find anything?

Congratulations on graduating. I'm going to be honest with you, DFW has been extremely competitive lately for new grad nurses in particular. It's mostly because this area is saturated with nursing schools thus resulting in a lot of new grads in the a...

@brightfutureRN Initially, in Fall when graduation was approaching I applied for most critical care positions as well as med surg. Since then I've had a total 4 interviews within that specialty (In CC) but no offer. I have had about 4 or 5 interviews...

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I'm so happy you were able to find a good position (and in the specialty you desire too!) Unfortunately, in my case, it's been almost 5 months now since receiving my license and almost 6 since getting...

My applications still say under review. Good Luck!

@brightfutureRN I know this post is at least a year old but did you manage to find a full time position? I'm currently dealing with something similar to this myself.

@Kels21082 Still nothing yet on my end.

I'm a fall 2018 grad and I applied. Received the graduate nurse preference forms email 1-2 days after applying. Haven't heard anything else yet.

Thanks for starting the thread! I just applied on Monday!

I've completed quite a few applications for RN positions at Parkland Hospital in Dallas and I was wondering how long until I would hear anything? Of course, I don't expect an instant response as I know there are other candidates applying besides myse...

Thank you, I'll give it a try! ?

Wow, that is a major bummer to hear. I might be looking into dialysis with DaVita if that is the case with Parkland. Gotta start somewhere.

Recently, a friend of mine passed her NCLEX and I'm wondering how common it is that newly licensed nurses develop arrogance after passing the exam. I won't say she isn't allowed to "feel herself" a little bit or be proud of herself after such a feat ...
