    prinsessa replied to LUVNURSING2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in the same situation. Graduated in May 2009 and still no job. Now the 2010 grads are here. What does that mean for us? People tell me that I shouldn't give up but do I have any chance of...

    prinsessa replied to Bobbkat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are not alone! It had been over one year since I have been looking for a job. I have also done all of the above. It seems like there are actually less jobs now than there were 6 months ago....

    prinsessa replied to jxRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    prinsessa replied to NrsKyssez's topic in First Year After Licensure

    prinsessa replied to RN2B123's topic in General Nursing

    I did go to nursing school and I am a nurse. The problem is finding a nursing job. I worked very hard for my degree/license. I went to night school and at times had to work full time while attending...

  13. Job Fair Frustration

    prinsessa replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't even bother with job fairs anymore. How is a recruiter going to remember me out of the other hundreds of new grads there? Several told me to call them and then never returned my call. My...

  14. Who pinned you?

    prinsessa replied to missbutton's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't partake in the pinning ceremony. I didn't want to spend money I didn't have for a pin. The people who were pinned had professors/clinical instructors do

  15. Attractive Students Being Hired First

    prinsessa replied to bioniclewoman's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. Huuuge tax refund...bye NS debt!

    prinsessa replied to RN2B123's topic in General Nursing

    I received a large refund but that was kind of bittersweet. It meant that we didn't make much money last year. People keep complaining about people not paying taxes but I would love to make enough...

  18. Need some encouragement

    prinsessa posted a topic in General Nursing

    It is coming on a year since I graduated. I have applied to countless jobs and interviewed for 8 of them. I have tried volunteering but told that I can't volunteer in any clinical setting since I am...

  19. Need some encouragement

    prinsessa replied to prinsessa's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I am married with two children. If I could move out of state I would in a second. I have tried nursing homes but they are mainly looking for LPNs or CNAs. I have been thinking about maybe...

  20. Need some encouragement

    prinsessa replied to prinsessa's topic in General Nursing

  22. job hunt

    prinsessa replied to mixedfruit's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked as an student nurse during nursing school but that didn't help me find a job. Maybe working as a CNA would have been better. I probably could have kept my CNA job while looking for a...

  23. New RN Temporary Position?

    prinsessa replied to cougSN's topic in General Nursing

    What about being a nurse in a camp? I know there are some camps looking for volunteer nurses at least. That could give you some experience to put on your resume....and you wouldn't burn any

  24. Peers don't believe nurses can't get jobs...

    prinsessa replied to SandraCVRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone who isn't in this position understands. One of my friends who is nursing school said she isn't worried about finding a job after graduating. Obviously she must think I am doing...

  25. Website Job Applications

    prinsessa replied to Teri2010's topic in Nursing Career

    I wish there was another way around it but most hospitals require you to apply online. I have tried to apply in person and they just direct you to a computer to fill out an application. I could have...
