  1. New Grad, No Job, Need Car?

    kiwi111 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello, I've been a long time reader of AN but just recently joined. I graduated in the summer and got licensed in the fall for my RN. Now I hear it's not anything new but it's been 6 months since I...

  2. Bullying or Not? Rant!

    kiwi111 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my your exactly like me personality wise I don't have thick skin so I get trampled a lot for being "nice". My nursing instructor also told me the same thing. She said I'd get bullied for sure,...

  3. Obtaining a job after a 2+years with no experience.

    kiwi111 replied to Cardiacluv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you passed your NCLEX already? I think it's okay I don't know personally but I've heard someone took 3 years before they took NCLEX (They got pregnant and raised their kids first). She managed to...

  5. New grads, how long do you wait after applying..?

    kiwi111 replied to hilbub's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in sticky situation as well after graduating and getting no job. It's probably best to apply earlier when you can. Good

  6. New Grad, No Job, Need Car?

    kiwi111 replied to kiwi111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    @ED Nurse I never "meant" to say I applied to xx amount of jobs because I didn't intend to it was just redundant. Also YOU don't have to be a mindreader because guess what? I actually pointed out that...

  7. New Grad BSN-RN, no work exp. NEED GUIDANCE!

    kiwi111 replied to Neurotic Student's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are quite right! New grads are a dime a dozen in my city. It's hard to get an interview anywhere. Unless you move up north or willing to relocate which I can't do because I don't have money yet,...

  8. Worked 2 yrs. Can I apply to new grad programs?

    kiwi111 replied to Neurotic Student's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    From my area I won't get specific but unfortunately after half a year we can't apply to a new grad program anymore. Hence why I don't have a job still since grad, I missed my opportunity. But I wish...

  9. How many days do you work in a row?

    kiwi111 replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    I've been following your thread, just wanted to ask if you sticked with med surg still? How are you feeling about it

  10. New Grad BSN-RN, no work exp. NEED GUIDANCE!

    kiwi111 replied to Neurotic Student's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have no idea if it was a bit more lenient a couple of years ago in psych for new grads without experience but every job postings I've seen in psych mandated minimum 1yr in mental health experience....

  11. What did you do after nursing?

    kiwi111 replied to bunnynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks Bunny. I'd love to keep in touch with you but I don't think I can do messages yet until I hit a certain amount of post. I will be sure to message when I do though. No you're not alone! And I'm...

  12. New Grad BSN-RN, no work exp. NEED GUIDANCE!

    kiwi111 replied to Neurotic Student's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you for your update! I'm in the same situation you were 2 years ago now too. I've had a lot of anxiety and depressive episodes and absolutely no job experience. I'm happy to hear you got a job...

  13. Nursing is a passion?

    kiwi111 replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree completely. I don't think I'd ever act rude to a patient despite how bad some has treated me. But there are more multiple facets in nursing that made me not passionate about it. A nurse...

  14. Cost vs realistic job prospects

    kiwi111 replied to Paticake35's topic in General Nursing

    I think it boils down to how proactive your daughter is though too. Sure the fancy school name is good resume material but if she's anything like me that's very passive, it will be hard getting into a...

  15. What did you do after nursing?

    kiwi111 replied to bunnynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi you must be my long lost twin. Both you and bunnynurse. I haven't found a job yet in nursing and I do want to try it out because of what bunynurse mentioned "student loans". I'm considering going...

  16. New Grad, No Job, Need Car?

    kiwi111 replied to kiwi111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Please read properly before commenting so harshly. I did NOT only apply to two jobs. I lost track of how much I've applied to already. I meant to say as Mavrick stated that I've only gotten 2...

  17. New Grad, No Job, Need Car?

    kiwi111 replied to kiwi111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the insight Mavrick, I did have some experience (whatever this might count) in gen surg as a student and yes I agree that it's more hectic than driving however I might have to give some...

  18. Does this make me a liability?

    kiwi111 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's a liability if you don't let it be one if that makes sense. I have chronic fatigue as well and pain from my back but undiagnosed because my doctor referred me to a specialist but I...

  19. New Grad, No Job, Need Car?

    kiwi111 replied to kiwi111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the reply calivianya, I know it makes absolute sense to get the license but because I'm so horrible at driving, and I'm such a slow learner, I keep negatively thinking about how long it...

  20. New Grad, No Job, Need Car?

    kiwi111 replied to kiwi111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for your reply RNinIN, It's very true. During the treacherous winter transit systems are very unreliable. I'm not sure about getting my own car as of yet, but I can certainly "share" one of...

  21. LTC- I hate it. Keep it or no?

    kiwi111 replied to bunnynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I think one better than none which is my case. I love the elderly as well and I "think" I would be okay in LTC but I can't even find the opportunity for a job opening hiring a new grad RN most go for...

  22. How to get away from bedside nursing

    kiwi111 replied to beeenieweeenie, RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you would still be in a better position than others with your 5 yrs exp in bedside. I recently graduated and aspire to have my own desk job one day but can't even find a job anywhere. I'm...

  23. Graduating May 2016-HELP!!

    kiwi111 replied to fdressel's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Its a difficult stage because some people say it's catch 22. If you apply early the more chances of you finding a job because your ahead in applying than your peers BUT most employers want someone...
