Hello everyone. I've been a nurse for a little over 2 years and I have been working with Hospice. Today I interviewed for a position at a wound care clinic. I loved the staff and the clinic setting and would be so excited to work there. However, I got the impression they wanted to fill this PRN position with a more experienced wound care nurse. So my question is how can I get that experience they are looking for that would enable me to be a more suitable candidate in the future? I'm very interested in this speciality but I feel at a loss as to how to pursue it. Thanks for any thoughts.

As a new grad that's been job searching for 4 months I agree. The hospitals and staff say they are so short handed, yet here I am a new grad with 3.9 GPA 1st time Nclex passing potential employee willing to work nights and weekends with a stable 16 year previous job history and all I hear are crickets. Now I'm nervous to incur more student loan debt to get my BSN as I have had such a tough time in this job market. It's very discouraging!!

It's a bachelors level program with courses geared toward health and human services administration, with the focus on public relations, compliance and security, human services. I am thinking possibly it would give me more variability in the long run

Hi as a new nurse I'm considering my next educational step. Does anyone have an opinion regarding the Health Services Administration degree versus the BSN? Both programs are offered at the same college (st Pete College, Fl) i would like any feedback. thank you.

Thank you that has been very helpful. I haven't quite hit the job market yet. I am now ACLS certified so I hope that will help get me in the door somewhere.

Hi everyone. I'm a new RN grad and have finally begun my job search. I would love some feedback on the StaRN internship program. A nurse I met in my clinical site could not say enough negative things about this program. She basically equated it to a mandatory prison sentence with no way out. She stated that she found the program to be very stressful and not at all supportive of her needs as a new nurse. I would love to hear the feedback of others regarding this program. As a new grad I am eager to find a work setting where I can get the support I need to best help my patients and myself. Thanks everyone!
