St John's Hospital both Oxnard and Camarillo have current new grad and less than 1 year experience openings in all departments including ER ICU OR Tele/Medsurg Also CMHS in Ventura will be opening their nurse residency soon. There also lots of openings for new nurses with less than a year experience VCMC , Los Robles Medical Center, Santa Paula Hospital are all hiring I think the highest paid nurses are at St John - Oxnard and Camarillo campuses. They are unionized with new contract negotiations to start next year

Keep us updated on your career progress. And welcome back to the nursing world.?

I don’t think you will have a problem finding a job. Nurses are in short supply and in high demand. Even in the ER I work, we are hiring Tele and med surg nurses whom we will train. Before the Pandemic, we only hire experienced ER nurses. Not anymore!
-
To be blunt, you are correct, the chances of landing an ICU residency is pretty nil due to you being an old new grad. Why don’t you try telemetry or med surg. Nothing wrong in both specialties. Hospitals are desperate and you have a better chance there. This is the best time to try those specialties. I myself started my nursing career working in the jail then I made my way to Tele/Medsurg/DOU/ICU/ER

Unfortunately none of those will really prepare you for an ED position. ED is a completely different animal. The focus is so different in the ED vs Tele or medsurg. we are currently training a Tele RN into our ED and he is having some trouble transitioning.
-
Those are not mistakes that warrants termination. They are mistakes a new grad is expected to make or at least they are mistakes that happen and serve as learning opportunities.

There is no guarantee you will get a job if you successfully complete an ADN program. There is also no guarantee you will get into an ADN program. Admission into any California ADN program is very competitive. You need 2 years of prerequisite classes with straight A’s to get a shot at the program

That’s too low. That’s what our ED tech /EMT makes per hour. Try to find something else. 5 years ago the starting pay for RN new grads was near the $40s per hour. oops sorry I didn’t see it was about nursing homes

When I was a new grad I worked at our local county jail. I would have been fine except for a couple of jerk correctional officers. I lasted only a few months. I did get a hospital job working med surg while I was working in the jail. I had a friend who pushed my resume but it was the panel interview that made all the difference. What I did was I researched the hospital, in particular, studies they did and I discussed that during the interview and they offered me a job on the spot. They were quite impressed that I knew about the various studies they have made over the years. Thanks to Google? I volunteered to work in all departments and in doing so I became marketable. I currently work in 2 different ED and have ahead offers from other EDs. I think they see that I’m flexible and they find that appealing.

20 years = should be ok with that arm. Did anyone try starting on both lower extremities. 2 days no abx is not good.

I think the poster said Home care or Home health. If so, there isn't much opportunity for her to practice.

New grad in ED in my opinion is not a good fit. You need some floor experience before getting into the fast paced environment. Codes, intubation, procedural sedation etc, will be the norm in the ED. The floor will allow you to build up confidence and skills in a less stressful environment
-
Reporting the charge nurse to the manager ensures that you will have enemies. Your new to the unit, not a good idea to piss people off.

Based from what I learned from friends in the HR, your masters degree is probably what's causing the zero response. Masters degree plus no experience means you are probably not going to stay a long time on the floor. Which to the hospital is wasted investment
