  1. 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...
  2. Do you agree this was unethical?

    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

    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 =(

    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

    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

    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...
  7. Do you agree this was unethical?

    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....
  8. Role of an RN in long term care facility

    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...
  9. Role of an RN in long term care facility

    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

    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...
  11. Nurse recruiters

    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?

    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?

    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...
  14. 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. 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...
  16. How do nurse hiring events work?

    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...
  17. 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...
