Hi, I plan on relocating as soon as I graduate with my BSN from St. Louis, MO.
Just wanted to know what are some tips on those stand-out "WOW" factors that would at the very least put you in the running for a potential candidate?
I realize that while being a new RN grad, you wont be able to command much from anyone, so at the very least would signing up for a CNA or PCT job at any pay, and pretty much at any place (nursing home) whatsoever be one of the best options to consider?
I figure that with me already beginning to work as a CNA/PCT for 3 years until I graduate as an RN, and still being willing to work the humble minimum-wage entry-level jobs would be the best tactic for someone for someone whom already went through the schooling and has the experience on top of it.

i know the meaning of the words, but you must have never worked on a dementia unit. when a pt gets something in their mind, you aren't going to change it because of "rules" or "policy".
Amen to that Hospice Nurse! The other night I was walking laps with a dementia patient around the unit at 3am. Sometimes, depending on the situation, rules and policies are broken. They are guidelines, standards....not everything is hard and fast in life.
