Both options are going to require you to get some experience after graduation. From what I understand the Peace Corps does pay you a small stipend at the end and Doctors Without Borders pays you small amount. Regardless you are going to have to pick a specialty and work in it for a while first.

I had a similar experience in a LTC. My situation allowed for me to only work one shift and then never go back. Don't let this get to you. Take your boards as soon as you can. It's already been quite awhile since you graduated. Once you have taken boards, start applying for jobs. Preferably in a facility in the 21st century with computerized lab values and electronic medication dispensaries. It gets better, I promise. PS That facility is a perfect example of what not to look for in a potential employer.

I am currently looking to relocate to Tampa and applied to Tampa General Hospital. Despite my qualifications I received the automatic email that I wasn't what they were looking for. I think it has to do with the personality assessment that one has to fill out after the traditional application. I have been a nurse for almost 2 years in the ICU. I have my CCRN and my bachelors degree. All of my current and previous employers love me and I get along really well with all of my co-workers. Does anyone have advice on how to beat the assessment so I can get an interview and show them how awesome I am?
