  4. I Just Need To Vent A Bit... Or A Lot.

    PCnurse88 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Career

    Haha, funny story. I got hired without even interviewing, just sent in my application for a school nurse and they called 2 months later saying they had already filled the position but needed a...

  5. I Just Need To Vent A Bit... Or A Lot.

    PCnurse88 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Career

    THIS! I was so shocked when I graduated and couldn't find a job right away because even my professors in nursing school, all of who were STILL WORKING as RNs or APRNs, would tell us that there is a...

    PCnurse88 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks, everyone, for the advice and well

  7. I Just Need To Vent A Bit... Or A Lot.

    PCnurse88 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Career

    Yup, you read correctly! In Connecticut, your license expires on the last day of your birthday month, and it's only good for one year - so every February I need to renew it. Since I just got mine in...

  8. I Just Need To Vent A Bit... Or A Lot.

    PCnurse88 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you everyone, this is exactly what I needed - a little sympathy and empathy! I try really hard to stay positive but it's difficult, especially when no one in my family has ever had this problem...

  9. Northside L&D Externship

    PCnurse88 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Realized after I'd commented that I think I misread your question - are you looking for the internship or externships? The internships are up

  10. Answers to "why you want to work here"

    PCnurse88 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have my FIRST interview on Friday after graduating last May (yayyyyy finally!!!) and am preparing myself for every question possible. I have been on interviews for other types of jobs (part-time...

  11. Answers to "why you want to work here"

    PCnurse88 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks guys! I can see both sides of the argument, which is why I asked. In the past I have always been upfront (when interviewing for CNA / tech jobs) and to be honest, even a few months ago I...

  12. How do we feel about staffing agencies?

    PCnurse88 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I sent out my first job application to my dream job on February 27, 2013, which means it's been just under a year. Eight months since graduating and seven since passing the NCLEX. I've sent out dozens...

  13. Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    PCnurse88 replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are living my life! I would take ANY nursing job right now - any shift, any unit, any hospital, any nursing home, any STATE. I really wanted to stay close to my family but I would move across the...

    PCnurse88 replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This! I graduated 8 months ago with my BSN and am unable to find work, so I'm working as an assistant manager at a fast food restaurant. There are 4 of us on the management team; 2 of us are in the...

    PCnurse88 replied to mind_body_soul RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My friend just got accepted into a new grad program; she is the only one, out of 6, who is a new grad. A different girl I know also applied to the program and I was the one she cried on the phone to...

  16. Cover Letter Advice?

    PCnurse88 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I put my resume on Monster and CareerBuilder and have gotten a lot of interest from non-nursing jobs, and during college I had several interviews for PCA jobs based solely on my resume, so I'm not...

  17. How do we feel about staffing agencies?

    PCnurse88 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Career

    @not.done.yet - that was my thinking, but I wasn't sure if I was just being paranoid or not. It's beginning to feel like NO ONE wants new grads; I looked into 7 different nursing homes/LTC settings...

  18. Does volunteering help with job prospects after grad?

    PCnurse88 replied to Murse Wannabe's topic in Nursing Career

    I JUST got a volunteer position (I graduated with my BSN 8 months ago) and was lucky enough to have connections in the service office, because she actually made a "special" volunteer position just for...

  19. How to count clinical hours

    PCnurse88 replied to bamboowoo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm glad I read this because my instructors told us to put our clinical hours on our resumes - they also told us it would be easy to find a job because of the nursing shortage, though. I have two...

  20. guidance needed!!!

    PCnurse88 replied to joejacktor's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I know you said, for cost reasons, you weren't considering UConn but I would reconsider if I were you - this sounds shallow but reputation is important, and UConn has a great reputation as a nursing...

  23. New Grad. No paid nursing experiences

    PCnurse88 replied to vietpinoy_nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    PCnurse88 replied to yayi4's topic in Nursing Career
