   Thanks everyone, your comments are absolutely helpful. I shold probably mention that I'm in GA, and moving to another state isn't really an option for me, unfortunately.

2. Help, I still don't have a job!!

   LizzieB_RN posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I'm so discouraged, its been over a year since I graduated nusing school and after moving to a new state and getting licensed in 2 states, I'm STILL unemployed. I now live with my wonderfully supportive parents, and I know many 20 somethings are doin...

3. New grad as only RN in cardiology office?

   LizzieB_RN replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks everyone! Ann that sounds awesome! Actually the cardiology office never called me so I'm sure they found someone else to fill the position. No big! I'm glad you commented Ann. E because I may have another amazing clinic opportunity that sound...

4. New grad offered job at Pain Clinic

   LizzieB_RN replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in Job Hunt

   I'm a new grad too! I have an interview for a pain clinic this week and I'm so glad I found this thread. I see the interview was a long time ago, but do you have any tips or advice for me? I haven't been able to get a job for a long time and I would ...

5. New grad as only RN in cardiology office?

   LizzieB_RN replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in New Nurse

   Meant to add this to my last comment: I hope no one misunderstands me, I certainly do not think of LPNs as "beneath me" in any way. I just didn't know how much it would matter, as far as licensing goes on paper, with training another nurse. The mos...

6. New grad as only RN in cardiology office?

   LizzieB_RN replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in New Nurse

   Thats good to hear, thank you! I've met LPNs in clinicals that were absolutely wonderful, one was more helpful than the RN. Licensing is necessary to do certain jobs, but to me experience is way more valuable. That eases my anxiety a little for sure...

7. New grad as only RN in cardiology office?

   LizzieB_RN replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in New Nurse

   I think there's at least 1 LPN. I didn't think about that because I know RNs have a little more certification than LPNs so I assumed an RN would have to train me(?). My understanding of the exact differences between LPN and RN isn't very clear, but...

8. New grad as only RN in cardiology office?

   LizzieB_RN posted a topic in New Nurse

   Ok, so, I got a call from a cardiology office. They don't have a RN on staff and called me to express interest in me. This terrifies me because I have 0 experience and there aren't any other RNs to train me. Help!! If offered a position, should I ev...

9. I'm never going to get a job.....

   LizzieB_RN replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in New Nurse

   Whoa, new grads can work a job like that? I was taught only experienced nurses can/should work home care. I'm sure you're awesome at it, I just want to clarify.

10. I'm never going to get a job.....

    LizzieB_RN replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in New Nurse

    Thank you everyone, your comments and advice are very helpful. I appreciate them! To be honest I turned my nose up at LTC/nursing homes because I know without a shadow of a doubt it is not what I want to do, ever. On the flip side, I am open to new e...

11. I'm never going to get a job.....

    LizzieB_RN posted a topic in New Nurse

    Hi everyone, I'm having a very low moment and looking for some encouragement. I graduated in April 2013, passed NCLEX the following September, and decided to get my GA license a couple months ago since doors weren't opening for me in AL. Needless to ...

12. Transfer AL license to GA

    LizzieB_RN replied to terri8's topic in Georgia

    I'm so glad you posted this terri8 because I'm also in the process of obtaining my license by endorsement to GA from AL. Tomorrow will be a very busy day for me: buying transcripts, getting fingerprints done, getting my application signed by a notary...

13. New grad seeking resume critique!

    LizzieB_RN replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in Job Hunt

    Oh thanks that's great to hear! Believe it or not it does actually fit well on one page in Word, but I'll definitely shorten it a bit.

14. New grad seeking resume critique!

    LizzieB_RN replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in Job Hunt

    Great point. This one is modeled after the resumes we drafted in our practicum workshop, but I did feel like it was pretty wordy. Thanks!
