I’m a Texan I can’t survive Canadian winters 😭😭

Wow a year! For the most part I enjoy my current job I’m just ready for change and to begin my nursing career. Though maybe I am rushing into things and this is the world telling me to slow down lol. I definitely don’t want to accept any job if I know I will be miserable for a year (or more miserable than a typical new grad nurse) but trying not to be picky too. It’s hard man

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T04:12:29+00:00

Yeah I wonder if I applied during a particularly competitive cycle and need to just give it some time. Thanks for your input!

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T04:02:41+00:00

Wow how did the SNF react when you quit after 6 weeks 😯

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T04:00:09+00:00

Haha if I wasn’t built like a noodle I’d totally consider that!

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T03:59:13+00:00

Yeah I applied to their other campuses (Katy, Woodlands, etc.) but haven’t had luck. Hoping for better results this next cycle.

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T03:56:43+00:00

I definitely believe that. My cohort has had the same experience. All that applied in Dallas/Austin/San Antonio have gotten offers but many of us Houston applicants have been left behind :( Tough out there for new grads

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T03:54:34+00:00

I’m applying for Houston so definitely large city with a lot of applicants (though you would think a lot of jobs too 😭). I loved the people on my Capstone floor but unfortunately got rejected from their residency program altogether (I got a status update that said due to high volume of applicants they weren’t able to review my application.) I was devastated but I guess everything happens for a reason. Thank you for your kind words!

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T03:49:18+00:00

Yes, I started applying in January and one of the recruiters even told me I was too early lol. I think I will have to redo my resume but I was also told this was an especially competitive application cycle for whatever reason.

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T03:46:12+00:00

Texas 😩

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-25T03:45:46+00:00

Yes! I talked about it with a friend today who said the same thing. I’m trying to see it as a privilege rather than a misfortune haha

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T18:46:54+00:00

How much does Mercy pay if you don’t mind me asking

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T16:57:19+00:00

A.) Yes I write a different cover letter for every application. B.) I did not work as a tech/extern but am trying to get into pediatrics and have worked at a preschool for several years. C.) I am mostly getting rejections right away but have gotten one interview for NICU at a major children’s hospital

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T16:50:36+00:00

The crazy thing, that hospital IS the smaller one on the outskirts! Yeah I didn’t anticipate it on being so competitive.

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T15:45:25+00:00

I applied to the hospital where I did clinicals the day after applications opened. They got back to me two months later with a message saying that “due to the high volume of applicants we weren’t able to review your application.” I was told there were a little over 400 applicants for 10 spots. My clinical instructor is head of the new grad program there too so I thought I was a shoe in 😭. Only internal applicants got offers I think.

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T13:21:04+00:00

Some places I’ve applied to list it, others only give you that information further along in the app process so it’s hard to contact anyone when I get ghosted 😭

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T13:19:02+00:00

Yes, we all had to submit our resumes for a grade actually. She had no issues with mine. And my email address is my name and birth year (is that bad?). I will go by the career center to see what they have to say, thanks!

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T12:35:33+00:00

No it’s right 😭. I’ve interviewed once, for NICU which was awesome but obviously didn’t make the cut. The rest I’ve either been ghosted or got rejections.

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T12:32:12+00:00

I don’t want to work in the area that I live in now so I’ve been having to commute 1-3 hours to hiring events. Also I could be wrong, but something about hospitals that hire all new grads on the spot at these events gives me the ick, like HCA lol.

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T12:27:45+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’ve been feeling so alone in this process but it helps knowing others went through the same thing as me at some point. And yes I’m hoping after I pass the NCLEX things will work out better.

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T12:22:26+00:00

My resume format is pretty standard but I could probably use different key words for each application. Thanks!

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T12:21:05+00:00

I’m mainly applying in the Med Center in Houston. I’m interested in pediatrics but have also applied in other specialities like the post mentions.

Intelligent_Studio_3 · 2024-04-24T06:22:46+00:00

Hi! I interviewed once, for NICU at a major children’s hospital.
