   MiaNJ replied to VM85's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Really? But are they hiring new grads or just experienced RNs? Where I am in the east coast, I know many new grads without jobs. I went to a job fair a few weeks ago, where there were major big and...

2. job fair

   MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

   But different hospitals may have have other rules. I was just told by the NYU recruiter that they 'prefer' those who graduated within the last 6 months. Since they have so many applications, then it's...

3. job fair

   MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

   I didn't hear that from the recruiter, but possibly. I did hear from the NYU recruiter that they have a nurse residency program in Feb. But I don't qualify since I graduated over 6 months ago. Also,...

4. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

   MiaNJ replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   I just went to a job fair last week in NYC, and every single hospital there said they are not hiring new grads right now. Some were major big hospitals, with long lines of new grads waiting to hand in...

5. job fair

   MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

   I went, but every single hospital recruiter there said the same thing - no new grad positions at the present moment. Some would take resumes, but others would not, and tell you to apply online. I...

   MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

   Anniee, don't give up. I think you should go anyway. I have been searching for longer than you have, and still nothing. Don't feel bad. There are many in the same situation. But you can't stop trying....

   There is another career fair next Wed. 11/4, by Nursing Spectrum. I wonder if that will also be similar to the Advance

8. Working as a nurse in NYC

   MiaNJ replied to JTomlinson91's topic in New York Nursing

   Try looking up some threads about new grads looking for NYC jobs. There are many who have been looking for a while and still can't find a job. It can be quite competitive to get a job in NYC in a...

9. Volunteer for lower waged/free RN internship to get foot in door???

   MiaNJ replied to elprup's topic in Nursing Career

   I don't know if that is possible. I have tried looking for a volunteer nurse position in hospitals or clinics, but they simply don't allow you to do any nursing functions unless you are working as a...

10. still unemployed and still frustrated!

    MiaNJ replied to VM85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I get that alot too, and I can't stand it. It's mostly from people who are not in the nursing profession and know nothing about the nursing profession. Another one I hate is when people tell me 'But...

11. Am i too old to start aiming for a nursing career

    MiaNJ replied to rompril's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school, I'd say about half the class was early-mid 30s, and some over 40. You'd be surprised at how many people either change careers or decide to go to college for the first...

12. Look in to your crystal ball: predictions for when the market recovers!

    MiaNJ replied to elleNY's topic in New York Nursing

    That's really disheartening for me. What will happen to all the 'new' grads who have been looking for a months, a year or more? I didn't get a chance to do an externship, and now it's too late for me...

13. Help needed re BP parameters

    MiaNJ replied to mjm1979's topic in General Nursing

    I learned from different instructors and doctors that BP guidelines of 120/80 are just a guideline, and sort of outdated now anyway. There are many people whose BP is under 120 systolic, and it's...

14. PLEASE HELP!!! Looking for a new grad RN job!

    MiaNJ replied to newgrad3's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure how to help, but just wanted to let you know that many new grads everywhere in the U.S. are experiencing the same thing, and some have been searching since last year. Check out this...

15. Drop out rate of nurses

    MiaNJ replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    In all fairness, the 4 year programs don't completely encompass 'only' nursing core or 'only' science programs. Any 4 yr Bachelors college degree includes several 'general ed' courses such as college...
