  1. Frustrating Job Market

    I feel your pain. I was on here only a few short months ago saying the same thing. I luckily was offered a position in April after 6 months of searching, dozens of online apps, handful of interviews, 2nd interviews, shadows. Apply to everything that ...
  2. Hi everyone! Just a quick question on resumes. Im a new nurse grade (jan 2014) who has been job searching the last few months. I took off over 8 months taking care of a family member who received a terminal diagnosis and am now having trouble landing...
  3. Hopefully I have this in the right forum... I am looking for any advice dealing with several topics. First, I graduated with my BSN in January 2014. My mother was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in March. I moved back home to be her caretaker fo...
  4. Cover letter guidance needed

    HI everyone, I have been job searching a few months and still am not employed. I have tweaked my current cover letter several times and plan to do a big push of applications over the next week and want to make sure my cover letter is on target. Any h...
  5. Cover letter guidance needed

    Thanks I have seen that too but sometimes it seems like that info is hidden but I will definitely try harder to find it. Thanks!
  6. Cover letter guidance needed

    Do you think when adding this to my cover letter that it would be best adding it onto the 1st paragraph or create a new one? I'm hesitant to have too many paragraphs which could look like too much fill and nonsense and make someone skip over it?
  7. Cover letter guidance needed

    Thank you for the response. No offense taken. I appreciate the advice and will redo that area of the cover letter. Any words of wisdom will only improve my chances.
  8. Thanks for your response. My husband is military as well. Reservist on active duty but will be off orders in Sept. We plan to stay in the area assuming I find something by then LOL. We live in the city and I was really hoping to find something close ...
  9. Stuck in a rut..

    Congrats on the job. That is a tough one. Im a new nurse grad myself and have been applying for positions the last few months. All have been at hospitals and have been debating on joining the SNF world. I had the same fear you are currently experienc...
  10. Thanks for the reply. I agree with going somewhere else. The bright side is it saves me time since I won't be applying there any longer and I can focus on some place that will.
  11. Cover letter guidance needed

    Thanks! Its been a work in progress.
  12. That makes sense. Thank you for your response.
  13. New nurse grad resume and cover letter help

    Yes thank you for your response. I actually do like the idea of saying this many years customer service experience etc. That would probably look better since I haven't had a job since 2011. I did have someone ask about my employment history since a f...
  14. Thank you so much for both of your inputs. My mother is luckily still with us. It has been a difficult journey but she continues her fight with cancer. My brother has also come to help out my parents ( as I also have a special needs brother) so they ...

  17. Remington College of Nursing Florida

    Hey, Just curious if anyone has received any information from Remington? Pam said we were supposed to get an email confirming our application was complete? Im just freaking out a little..... :) I just hope to find out something sooner then later....
  18. Remington College of Nursing Florida

    I completely agree. If I didnt get in it would almost be worth it to try again for the summer to still get the BSN...My backup was SPC in St Pete is a no go...over 450 applicants with avg pre-req gpa over 3.7. I was curious about Keiser as it says th...
  19. Remington College of Nursing Florida

    Hey, I have applied but probably won't know until 2nd week of Decemeber. I really hope I get in as my backup choice just fell through. I'm from Florida and will be living with my family in Orlando. I would say you would probably want to drive so you ...
