I'm hoping that someone had some words of encouragement or some advice for me. I attempted to to get into ED residencies as a new grad but wound up taking a med surg tele job when the ED never called me. Fast forward three years and I now have 2 years of med surge-tele and 1 year as a travel nurse doing more of the same. Now that I have the experience, I am trying to get into an ED somewhere, but that seems to be impossible as every job I apply for wants at a minimum 1 year of ED experience. How do I break through this barrier? I get calls back after applying but when they find out I have no ED experience I'm passed up for other applicants.

Excited to see/meet everyone tommorow! I know I already asked everyone this, but I keep getting mixed signals from the emails I am getting from different people... but scrubs are okay to wear tomorrow right? Or is business casual required.

I'm only bringing a printout of my license from the BON website with the license number and everything on it.

Yeah, I saw that Arnela said to call if we hadn't received them by the 20th... hopefully I will get mine soon. Do you know how long it takes after NCLEX to get official results? I'm wondering if that's what they are waiting on.

Has anyone received their schedules yet?

I graduated June 10th, my school informed me that they sent out our affidavit to the BON on the 15th, and received my ATT on the 27th. On the BON website it says my GN permit authorization started on the 29th.

Hey guys! I know they said for orientation we could wear navy scrubs or business casual, but what are y'all leaning towards. I'd like to be in the majority:)
