No one cares!

What kind of setting do you work in? I think most if not all hospitals these days use computer charting!

Hey everyone, I am switching to night shift soon and would like everyone's opinion on how everyone handles the big switch! I feel like my options are.. For the first few nights prior to my first night shift: 1) stay up as late as possible, and try to...

I would just slow your roll and wait till you are actually hired and have an actual orientation date. This is in like 9 months. There is no way to plan for this.

I'm not sure where you are moving to in Arizona, but where I'm at (near Phoenix) it was a bit difficult. I was a new grad coming from out of state as well and I found out that this area has quite a bit of nursing schools surrounding the area so it's ...

Go online or call ask for recruiters of hiring managers in the department you're applying for.

I would look at the job openings for these hospitals, and see if the job positions specifies if they "will consider a new grad"

Ask your instructor? Depends on facility. Also it doesn't take too much time to just go to your bag in the break room and grab a quick snack. Cuts down on contamination risk

Go cougs 🐾

Go to your teacher and ask if they can go over a few questions and see if they can explain how to get to the right answer, and see where you went wrong. FYI nursing questions are pretty much, "well this answer choice is right... But this one is bett...

Hello everyone! I am a new graduate RN who recently got a job in the PCU. It has been a couple months since graduation and I am feeling a little subpar on my knowledge. I was wondering if anyone has any tips to help me prepare for orientation, which ...

I actually start in a few days haha it's been a long wait! All my questions we're pretty much expected and behavioral based. Questions like why should we hire you? Why do you want to work here? Name a situation where something changed how did you han...

I just got hired on a pcu unit in AZ near Phoenix, the ratio is about 1:6, a little steep from what I'm used to in nursing school. It varies daily.

Not to be rude, but regardless of what propel on here say, you still have to take your exam! 😉 so go hit the books! 👍

I agree with everyone above me! Also, part time trumps unemployed. Maybe use this job for some experience and then keep looking!

One more day! Trust me, you don't want to be charged the $200! You can wait one more day! :)

Don't use a different expiration date! That doesn't work! What state did you apply to? Sometimes those results come quicker than the quick results

Ebooks are cheaper, but it depends on how you learn! For me there is no way I could use purely ebooks because I need to actually be holding the book and not looking at a screen to retain information. I don't know why that is, it's just how my brain p...

If they told you to apply the why not! But unfortunately I found it extremely hard to be a good candidate without my license. I graduated in may and did Hundreds of apps since March. I finally got my license in July and that's when things got rolling...

I know you don't want to hear this, but I would take some type of refresher course! Five years is a long time and some of the information you learned could be outdated! Once you master content I would absolutely do Kaplan for the questions, they are ...

I have been in this position before, j say wait exactly a week and then call the next day just asking if they have made a decision...blah blah blah. Since it's only been like three days do not that! I wouldn't expect calls on the weekend either. Wait...

I would say work ethics isn't in a percentage of all people in all ages, not just the youngens!:)

Thanks! Normally when I call I specifically ask for a recruiter on whatever unit I'm on, and I'll call as soon as two days after I submit an app and if I don't get ahold of anyone I just try the next day. You got this!

Hey there! How'd your interview go?

I actually just landed my first job. I too graduated in May, took my boards in June and got licensed in July. I apples to hundreds of jobs from April until now and I just got my first offer yesterday. you need to apply to every new grad job availabl...
