Go straight to L&D. It is much harder to get in otherwise.

That's a bad idea. It's very hard to get a decent job the longer you've been away from nursing. I would get a job ASAP, wait a few months to get pregnant so that you can finish you're year. You can work while pregnant. That would make it easier to ge...

I would try to get on at a hospital, work med surg for a year and then decide if you want a change. I've worked both areas and they're both equally difficult and stressful.

I can almost guarantee that the nursing home won't give you three weeks orientation. More like three days. Can you enroll in a BSN program? Having that you are enrolled on your resume could help you get your foot in the door at a hospital. SNF experi...

Can you email me your assessment sheet? Please

Yikes. No way. You need a break

Hello all. At what point during the hiring process do you find out a start date and give notice to current employer? I signed the offer letter today for a hospital position. I'd like to give as much notice as possible to my current employer because ...

Thanks. My job requires two weeks which is fine. I've already signed the offer letter, I'd just like to know when I would find out a start date? What are the next steps in this process?

Yeah it just sucks. Especially because I’m miserable at my job and would love nothing more than to put in my notice. Can’t wait to finally start working at a hospital

awesome! how's it going? what floor are you on?

What did you end up doing?

ADN here. Private duty nursing for 1 yr. Just got offered a position on a med-surg floor at a hospital, finally. Most likely because I'm working on my BSN. So excited!

I would work at a hospital first for a year or two then home health.

Just put in applications everywhere, at every hospital, every department. I'm also an ADN and have been unable to get a hospital job. I've been doing Private duty nursing for a year. I hate it. I've been trying to get in a hospital for over a year....

I think they said they’d follow up with me next week. I was so excited and nervous as it’s my first interview with a hospital. I’ve been trying to get in with a hospital for a long time.now. Should I wait until Friday? edit: I did send a handwri...

Hey guys. I had a interview Friday it’s now Tuesday. When should I follow up with hr?

Hey guys. I've got an interview for a cardiac care unit coming up. I am newish grad with only home health experience. I've been trying to get into acute care for a long time now. Anyways, can anyone tell me what exactly CCU is? What's a typical day ...

I’m an ADN and have not found a hospital job yet. Most require BSNs here in Houston. I resorted to home health. Make an effort to network with students, nurse managers, and nurses with do clinical with. That should help a lot. I wish I would ha...
