  1. New grads & Job Offer: When to settle

    JustAdmitToObs replied to JustAdmitToObs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The SNF has a rehab side and a LTC side. I have a feeling I would be on the LTC side. What confuses me is that I have a friend from school who just started at a LTC, and she reports that it is easy,...

    JustAdmitToObs replied to JustAdmitToObs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    JustAdmitToObs posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As a new grad, I've been kicking myself over not working as a tech during school. All those that did, got a job. I've been a volunteer at the hospital for 3 years, and it just suddenly occurred to me...

    JustAdmitToObs replied to chio0719's topic in Nursing Career

    Scaredsilly! What the heck! ICU and ER is hardest/impossible to get into around me. I'm dying to know where you are. I'd relocate if it weren't for the house and

  8. Convincing the manager to take a chance on a new grad

    JustAdmitToObs replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    RunBaby that sucks! I'm considering contacting the NM that kinda blew me off again. A couple of jobs were posted for the unit (RN II of course) which I applied to, but maybe I should give her a "hey,...

    JustAdmitToObs replied to JustAdmitToObs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  13. Where to start when you don't have experience.

    JustAdmitToObs replied to chio0719's topic in Nursing Career

    Where on earth is this place that has hospitals that take new grads in to specialties (if not hired from a tech position)? I remember pondering whether I would go into ICU or ER after graduation. Now,...

  14. Convincing the manager to take a chance on a new grad

    JustAdmitToObs replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A "courtesy" new grad interview? Is this officially a thing that is done or am I reading too much into

  15. Convincing the manager to take a chance on a new grad

    JustAdmitToObs replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wish I had used this strategy when I had a interview for my dream job. To the OP, I don't think it's desperate at all. Everyone knows how tough it is for new grads (we are desperate, but not...

  19. Offered job, later told it's not guaranteed

    JustAdmitToObs replied to Nonetheless's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In my neck of the woods, techs get hospital job offers prior to NCLEx, then fail NCLEX, and still end up in the job. That is, provided they pass on the 2nd
