  1. What color are your scrubs?

    Any combination of navy blue and white and I'm in Georgia.
  2. Need tips on job

    Also getting licensed in Alabama is extremely easy compared to the Florida process...there's Mobile Infirmary, Thomas Infirmary, USA Women's & Children's & Providence all in the Mobile Area. Expand your search and try to reach out to HR depar...
  3. 21 Things you never mention at a hospital job interview

    Oh I understand why they do this...but there's an emotional disconnect. It is a lot easier for HR & hiring managers to click a button than talk to the applicant. I never received a rejection call either...but I feel like it would be better.
  4. University of South Alabama Accelerated Bsn/msn July 2014

    All of your professors are fantastic and I'm not just saying that. When you're in the Accelerated Program you are held to a higher standard and they will expect you to learn quickly and apply newly learned knowledge. If you don't understand somethin...
  5. I have both ACLS & PALS. If you have a good foundation is BLS then you should be fine. I had great teachers through AHA and focused on big concepts and the main principles you will use when employing PALS.
  6. how to get past new grad stereotype

    This. Focus on what makes you a good candidate and why the shorter orientation wouldn't overwhelm you.
  7. Applying out of state

    I've applied to jobs in Georgia, Alabama and Florida and received interviews in all three states. I think most employers would like to see the applicant in person, but as many have stated before some will interview by phone/computer. I am preparing...
  8. Open interviews for 1+ yrs. experience. Should I just go??

    I applied to 200+ jobs online...you can't mess up your chances for jobs that you applied for online because there's no guarantee that you will ever hear anything from them. Put yourself out there and if you don't hear anything from them at least you...
  9. License Endorsement question

    Texas has one of the longest processes out there...some states are easier to obtain a license for example Alabama is relatively easy, but Florida and Georgia require fingerprints and a background check which may take a few extra days to process. I'm...
  10. Expanding job hunt to other States

    Thank you for the tip! I have a family member who is an accountant and hopefully they can guide me when it's time to file.
  11. I applied to 200+ jobs! And it still took a considerable time to get an interview. Apply for any and everything that you're willing to do! I actually expanded my job to two other neighboring states and that's where I experienced the greatest succes...
  12. 21 Things you never mention at a hospital job interview

    Wow...just wow...I would never think to do this BUT if I did...I would definitely not tell the manager that this was my intention!! Did you let her go immediately?
  13. 21 Things you never mention at a hospital job interview

    "18) Don't call me if i didn't get the job, an email is better." I actually want the manager to call me if I didn't get the job....I feel like it is kind of gutless just to send me a canned rejection letter. I feel like if I did spend the time the...
  14. Congrats! I'll send you a private message...
  15. Expanding job hunt to other States

    Two weeks. Make sure you read the directions and include all the necessary paperwork. The longest part was the fingerprinting because that's done with an outside company.
  16. Expanding job hunt to other States

    Yes, moving can be expensive, I also chose to move because I didn't want to lumped with new nurses graduating in December. Some of my classmates who got hired later (in late September or October) had nurse managers asking them what have they been do...
  17. Advice for interviews?

    I agree with llg but I don't think there's anything wrong with asking about future growth within the company and availability for floating to other units...you want to show that you want to learn as much as possible. At this point...act like a sponge...
  18. Resume Advice

    I am a recent graduate and I included it on my resume under Clinical experience and the amount of hours that we earned throughout the semester. Different schools require different hours...for example my school required 200+ hours in the practicum wh...
  19. Expanding job hunt to other States

    Unfortunately, I will be paying for relocation costs out of my own pocket. New nurses come a dime a dozen and employers know this. A motivator for me to move was money (I didn't get into nursing for money), but my base pay is two to five dollars hig...
  20. Expanding job hunt to other States

    I can speak positively for receiving a job in another state than I was originally licensed (Alabama). I applied for nearly 80 jobs or more in my original state and then recently begin expanding my search to two other states. I expanded my search to ...
  21. Should I quit for my first choice??

    I agree completely. "My first choice" came knocking a few days after I got into my Residency Program and although I am currently being offered the job in my dream field...there aren't any guarantees! I have been jobless for 3.5 months (which is a co...
  22. An update: Graduated in July 2014 Passed NCLEX in August 2014 Applied to 200+ positions in 3 states (6 interviews) Job Offer mid-October 2014 Start November 2014 The process took longer than I ever imagined, but as soon as I got my first concrete j...
  23. CHOA new grad residency

    I inadvertently typed Georgia College of Nursing...I just meant to type a college/university in the state of Georgia. Maybe they are interviewing individuals in state first...and out of state later??? I don't know.
  24. CHOA new grad residency

    Did you graduate from a Georgia College of Nursing?
