hi i am a recent gradute from a ADN program . i passed my NCLEX in march . i am having a hard time finding a job . i did go on a couple of interviews ,but nothing pan out so far. i have applied to a lot of differant postions, question 1) would it make a differance if i called a nurse manger to shadow on the floor even if i have not been offered a job there ,however there is a job posted for that floor? 2) i am being told that i should get a bsn i applied and start in the fall, should i put it on my resume as i didnt start yet? 3) does joining an affiliation such as NLN make a differance? last but not least i suspect hat even though i have gone on interviews i think my resume needs help can you give me pointers as what a nurse manger would look for ? thank you for all your help

    Nurse managers are the second most most stressed-out people in health care today...the MOST stressed in the CNO. I wouldn't advise making any 'cold calls' to them. At best, you would simply be ignored. At worst, they would be prejudicial against you for trying to jump line and gain an advantage by seeking to be exempted from normal hiring processes.

    Managers can only hire into approved positions in the organization. They have a certain number of full time, part time & PRN jobs that are allocated to their department, based upon the volume of work (patient census) they are responsible for. In many organizations, new grads can only be brought into the organization by way of a formal new grad program (internship, residency, etc.) and the number of these positions is limited to a specific capacity based upon the $ and resources available.

    There is a defined process for filling vacant (approved) positions. The process is designed to fulfill numerous Federal hiring requirements. There is no way - no matter how special you are or how unique your circumstances are - to circumvent this process without causing problems. You really don't want to be identified as a source of problems -that's never a good thing.
