    New Graduate in Colorado

    If you need a job, start in LTC. Don't count it out because of what you hear. Some experience is better than

    Nursing Home or No?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to asimon1126's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Take it. LTC experience is better than no experience. I think all new grads should start out in LTC. (I did it for 6 years). At least that way, the hospitals will know that you have experience taking...

    Advice for New Grads

    SE_BSN_RN replied to SJVCatholicGirl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ha. Pray. That's all you can do. I am a new RN, not a new nurse. I've been applying for hospital jobs since before graduation. They all want at least 6 months acute care experience. Good
