  2. Thought I would have a job by now. Getting depressed

    m0lasses replied to SWRNUSA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Clinics are definitely hiring new grads in my area. Also, really consider tweaking your cover letter for quality over quantity. I also applied for many jobs out of school with no response. When I...

  3. Looking to move to Portland....

    m0lasses replied to Katie71275's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Good luck with your search. The big three are probably "the place to be." However, there are also A LOT of outlying smaller hospitals. Providence Portland (in town), Prov. Wilamette Falls, Prov....

  5. Heart in ED; job offer in med-surg

    m0lasses replied to m0lasses's topic in Emergency

    Thanks everyone. I decided to take the med-surg position. I have a good friend on the floor on the same shift and two other classmates on the floor as well. That makes it a little easier to decide....

  8. I just want to use my skills!

    m0lasses replied to anashenwrath's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't give up. I graduated in December. At 4 months out, only 50% of my cohort had jobs. Now, at 6 months, all but 2 people seem to have work. Some are full time in their dream job; others are piecing...

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

    m0lasses replied to aznbc105's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't work for 8-10 weeks with no pay. Keep trying. You'll get your foot in the door. It sounds like you are doing the right things by networking and talking with recruiters. Also, I think the...

  10. Getting into emergency nursing

    m0lasses replied to countrygurl89's topic in Emergency

    So, how about those of you who didn't get in as a new grad? I am a new grad who got a residency on a medical floor. I really want to be on the ED, precepted there, and have a search and rescue...

  11. NP vs PA vs CNS

    m0lasses replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    You might consider the prerequisites in your search. Where I live, the PA program prereqs are the same for med school, while the NP prereqs are not. This is a factor in the length of your program....

  13. Salem, OR Internship Program Summer 2013

    m0lasses replied to SamanthaJean89's topic in Oregon Nursing

  14. Interview with Portland VA/Salary and Parking Question

    m0lasses replied to nursestacey62's topic in Oregon Nursing

    As an experienced nurse, you could probably ask for $35 or so. Are you moving to a new specialty? I think they pay out here is higher because of cost of living. Even in non-unionized facilities, new...

  15. Interview with Portland VA/Salary and Parking Question

    m0lasses replied to nursestacey62's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey. I moved here from NC too and found the cost of living high, but reasonable compared to other cities on the West Coast. Public transportation is pretty easy from most anywhere in inner NE or...

    m0lasses replied to SamanthaJean89's topic in Oregon Nursing

    A friend of mine did her 2nd interview for ED yesterday. I didn't hear back from ED, so I'm guessing I won't at this point. Adult health/med-surg is supposed to hear back at the end of this week....

    m0lasses replied to firstdaughter156's topic in Camp

    Ditto to what everyone else has said. I wore my own "street" clothes like jeans and a t-shirt with a name tag. I introduced myself to the whole camp at the first meal and let them know where I worked...

    m0lasses replied to cbrown12's topic in Camp

    I am getting around $780 a week as a new grad and also some retirement benefits. They actually pay me per day, because my weeks vary from 4-6 days. Hope you get the compensation that you

  21. Attention ER nurses and managers

    m0lasses replied to RNReadyManc's topic in Emergency

    Hi. I'm in the same boat as you are--looking. I graduated in December and have been doing camp nursing for a few months on a temporary contract (over next week, yea!). One of the best ways that...

    m0lasses replied to Alex Egan's topic in Camp

    m0lasses posted a topic in Camp

    m0lasses replied to CloudySue's topic in Camp

    m0lasses replied to CrystalHendrik's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    HESI puts out a book "HESI NCLEX RN" or something like that. I got mine in my senior year and it was really helpful. I could have used it from the beginning for sure. There isn't a lot of...
