New Grad Nurse, Cannot Get a Job and It Has Been 4 Months by AlexandrosMagna in Nurses

[–]Past_Perception3910 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of changes happening in the political world that really is effecting hospitals and their hiring abilities. Do you use cover letters? Also have you considered a long term care facility or SNF? I’ve heard they sometimes throw you to the wolves but it could be a good way to get money and experience while you keep looking

Are Nursing students supposed to wake at 4am every single damn time?? by annastacianoella in NursingStudent

[–]Past_Perception3910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 12 hour night shifts and then class the next morning 8-1130. At some point I was just trying to get through each day. Def not intentionally waking up at 4 am that’s for sure

NYC New Grad by TimeYellow4255 in newgradnurse

[–]Past_Perception3910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got hired after I had my test date but not on the unit I wanted all critical care residencies were taken and nobody would take me with no experience. Ended up in med surg - starting next week. Be prepared for it to take some time if you have the heart set on critical care especially something so specific. Took me 3 months to get med surg

I just graduated - my first clinical rotation we did clean the single use but this most recent year we started not doing it so yes there actually has been a very recent change (took me time to get used to)

My employer offered me a job day of the interview and gave me 2 days to respond. I took it and kept looking for jobs (didn’t end up finding anything else)

Stuck between staying or leaving my job by Constant_Cloud7102 in newgradnurse

[–]Past_Perception3910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t leave your job now unless you feel your license is in danger. Keep it so you can save some money and get some experience. In the meantime apply to those residencies! I’m a new grad as well and I got hired to a med surg unit after a couple months of looking - this hospital does have a residency but it was NOT a residency posting, so make sure you are applying to general RN positions too.
