  1. Hospitals in Miami-Dade that hires new grads?

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated in July with my ADN and I just received my license a couple of weeks ago. I've just begun seriously hunting for jobs and I'm feeling a little intimidated and discouraged because of all the...

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am a new graduate and I've been relentlessly hunting for a job since I got my license two months ago. Recently, a fellow graduate who I remained friends with throughout school called me to excitedly...

  3. Job abandonment

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I work in a LTC facility, and the company is horrible. Like, beyond horrible. I've put up with a lot of crap from them and I've only worked there a couple of months. Today I walked onto the floor at...

  4. I hate my job =(

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a new grad RN, just graduated in July. In my area, it's really difficult (if not impossible) to land a hospital position unless you have connections in that hospital. And I had none. So out of...

  5. Job abandonment

    Nurse_CrystalRN replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I honestly felt like I had no other choice. It was either, be forced to accept a dangerous assignment that I know darn well I can't handle, or walk out and abandon my first nursing job. I always swore...

  6. Job abandonment

    Nurse_CrystalRN replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Sorry, no. The formatting of that sentence was confusing. I hadn't received report or counted narcs yet. To get to our time clock where we clock in, you have to walk past the nurses station and see...

    Nurse_CrystalRN replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I mean...I'm not losing sleep over it or anything. Since I posted this, I haven't even given it much thought. She's still a good friend of mine and she worked just as hard in school as I have....

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I know every facility is different, but generally speaking, what is the role of an RN in a long term care facility? I was just offered a job in a LTC facility, and I go in on Monday to start getting...

    Nurse_CrystalRN replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Since I'm enrolling in a program to finish my BSN in the next couple months, I'll have plenty of course work to keep me busy through a boring night shift I'll also occasionally be covering for a...

  10. Nurse recruiters

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a new grad on the hunt for my first nursing job. Luckily, throughout school I maintained a good relationship with my aDON and I impressed her in my academics. She wrote me a letter of...

    Yes I've applied to several positions to each hospital and I mentioned it specifically in my messages. I'm trying to go through all the motions and take the correct

  12. Do you agree this was unethical?

    Nurse_CrystalRN replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I suppose you guys are right, when I think about it a little more. Its a cut throat market for us newbies out there and she found an opening and took it. I can't do it at the same hospital though,...

  13. Do you agree this was unethical?

    Nurse_CrystalRN replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I absolutely agree. That's why I'm torn. On one hand, that was really bold and she definitely got what she wanted out of it. But on the other hand I feel like lying like that was very wrong and could...

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    How difficult is it to get a job in a hospital or other acute care setting after working in long term care? I am a new grad and I've been having a miserable time finding a job in a hospital. I...

  15. Frustrated new grad...Jobless in Miami =(

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Prepare for a massive rant. Honestly, I was under no delusions that it would be super easy to find a job after graduation. I knew the job market for new grads was tough and I knew it would take some...

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

    Thanks a bunch! This is my dream first job, so I plan on bringing my A game and going fully prepared. I was very surprised to even get a call to interview, so I'm going to knock their socks off with...

    Nurse_CrystalRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was invited to come interview at a nurse hiring event for the Cleveland Clinic in Weston FL. I've never been to one of these before, so I don't know what to expect. I submitted my application online...
