I'm a new grad that landed a position in OB so excited, as it's my first love. I will be doing postpartum/nursery. Any advice from some seasoned nurses for a newbee

Well I got my first paycheck yesterday.... It was a really good one!! I deposited in my bank (because direct deposit wasn't activated yet as new employee)... I was toooooo tired to spend any!!! 12 hour shifts. Lol. But I plan on making up for that th...

I can't believe it. What a blessing, got my dream job as a new grad in a hospital, as an OB Nurse, less than a month after taking my boards... Can't wait to start my new journey! Good luck to all you other new grads looking for jobs. Stay positive it...

But GPA upon graduating was a B 3.3

Why are you worried? Employers don't care about your grades... At least not hospitals! They want you to pass nclex!

I don't know why you were advised that community college would be an easier way to go ... Community colleges in NY are just as competitive because of the price. And they are good programs. But it is not impossible for you to achieve your goal. I did...

Cute topic... I will be getting my first paycheck in April...I'm looking forward to spending some money on myself and treating my husband to something special, as he sacrificed greatly for me on my journey.

Congrats. And there is def union law that they must post position internally for a period of time... Monte is NYSNA (union).. (And 1199).

2.. Because that's immediate post OP... Teaching patient this exercises is not priority

NY (westchester county) $36/hr starting

One application, one interview got job

I happened to luck up.. One interview, one month after nclex, got offer 2 days after interview, in my dream job nursery/postpartum and got the job ! Keep trying you'll get it soon!

For me I didn't keep in contact with unit managers etc. I just developed good relationships with my clinical instructors and they spoke to people on my behalf. That's what worked immediately for me. I've learned people will tell you many things and s...

Negatron.. Very true about repeating courses. Quite a few schools I know only take one science repeat out if all sciences. (For grade purposes)

OP did you ever find a job, curious. I graduated from same school as you in December.

Your micro grade is low, most schools want C+ or higher, at the lowest a C, even associates programs. I graduated from associate program and my program u need C+ or higher, but people getting accepted have much higher than that. Retake your micro to ...

I'm a new grad, was hoping to just get anything! My dream was OB, but wanted to get my foot in the door. Sometimes you never know, I was rejected for a med surg position but landed an OB position, go figure...

Thank you... I read so many posts on how it's nearly impossible to land a job as a new grad, and forget about having an ASN... Oh and I live in New York also! And not upstate!

Depends on the situation.. I just had an interview and the decision was going to be made fairly quickly, so I sent a personalized email thank you to both the recruiter and nurse manger that interviewed me... I put "thank you" in the subject and sent ...

Same here I'm wondering what it's like as well.

Interesting post! Well my name is straight from Africa! I'm a new grad looking for jobs now. I love in the north east.. So we will see who gets hired first.. My classmates. All with no experience, same grades, I have better references and internship,...

Would you like a sub par nurse? Besides a smart nurse saves your life by correcting a not so smart doctor ! And furthermore...teas scores and gpa's prior to nursing school mean nothing in regards to performance in nursing school... Not even on the sa...

Congrats ü!!!! Please share what you figured out you were doing wrong. I would like to pass the info along.

Please share what you were doing wrong. I would like to help a friend out that has failed.

I say no... What's the point of an nclex review class if you havent finished school yet... You'll have a semester left.. Just be patient and do things in order. You will make time when u need to come December/January ... I graduated December and took...
