Congrats to you both! I also am a new grad RN, and starting my first job on a neuro floor on April 1. We need to keep in touch, we can probably share experiences and help each other out!

Columbus Ohio is New-Grad Friendly?! Puh-Leeze! We have 11 nursing schools feeding into the area, one downtown hospital is rumored to be closing and has eliminated its shift-differential. Another has just chosen to exclude all ADNs from its internship program because it gets too many applicants. I have worked for one of the big systems for 4 years, and have an extensive medical background to boot. I graduated with honors from an ADN program, passed NCLEX in the minimum questions, and have already been accepted into a reputable BSN program. To date I have 146 applications in for RN jobs within a 50-mile radius of Columbus. Yes, I said ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX APPLICATIONS. My rejections all state "...blah blahblah, more experienced candidate...blah blah..." Those who say they have been offered multiple positions here are...exaggerating.
