Hi guys. I want to know is it better to do nursing residency program first rather than a nursing job? And which hospital offers best nursing program in NJ and when it start?

Thank you.

Oh really. In which area are you trying to find the residency program in NJ? I'm looking to the north jersey.

South Jersey. It seems there's more up north like in Bergen county. Valley Health has a new grad program. Have you tried them?

It's frustrating how difficult it is. Everyone wants experience and no one is willing to allow you to gain the experience. I'm still in the hunt and am optimistic tho. It seems there are more opportunities in Norther NJ. Is that the area you are in?

Im from middlesex. Piscataway if you know it. Yeah its kinda frustrating. How can a new grad gain experience. Thats why you're applying for a job to gain experience. I mean you got to start somewhere you know

Hey Hero. Did you have any luck finding a hospital gig?

Well luck is not on my side, and I learned Patience is really a virtue. I landed a job in a skilled nursing facility and after 3 days I got offers in OR and Med surg unit.
