Hi, I am currently a travel nurse, and on a whim decisions applied for a permanent float pool position at the hospital I'm currently working in. Not hearing anything back from my application, I asked to extend my position as a traveler. The next day, I get a call with an interview for the float pool position. I already sent out an extension offer and it is approved, but would love to work in float pool as permanent staff! How do I get out of my extension??

Can anyone tell more information about nurse residency programs? After I graduate nursing school, I am looking for options that will help me land a hospital job. Are these programs competitive? When should I apply? Does anyone have similar experiences? Thank you!

Great idea! I've been looking into that and it looks promising, thank you!

I currently attend nursing school in Wisconsin and am of junior status. The other day I had a mini panic attack realizing that graduation and the NCLEX exam are both approaching VERY rapidly. I have a general idea of what nursing fields I want to work in, but I fear that I won't be accepted in those positions because I will be a new graduate nurse with no experience. I also want to move from Wisconsin to California after I graduate which makes me anxious that moving to a new place with no healthcare connections plus having no experience being a new graduate will impede my chance of actually obtaining a nursing job in the field I am most interested in, let alone, I fear I won't have that many job opportunities because I am moving away from all my connections. Is there anything I can do to optimize my chance of getting a nursing job while I have moved to a new state in addition to being a new graduate nurse with little experience?
