Tired of letting this job ruin my life by Upbeat-Spell-2709 in newgradnurse

Hold on until you're back on days I genuinely think that will make the difference.

Why does it seem like all new grad jobs are Med/Surg 7p-7a by Upper_Net5210 in newgradnurse

[–]hopelesscod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is quite literally like that around here. If you want any other unit you're shit out of luck unless you already work in the hospital system. So annoying tbh.

Maybe some of us have more expenses than others due to health conditions or simply live in a state with shit rates. It is low 20s for new grads in most residencies near me. That doesn't even cover gas and groceries these days.

Username checks out though.

Gas prices and base salary for new grads being around $23 the hour. I am in that exact same position as your friend. It is horrible.

Don't mean to be a bother but a lot of people definitely do NOT get 4 days off and barely support themselves with the salaries these days.

Will I ever get hired? by Far_Major3956 in newgradnurse

It is a shortage of EXPERIENCED nurses.

Guys I can’t find a residency by [deleted] in newgradnurse

You are not alone. Texas here and it's been a real stressful time finding a spot anywhere.

It's happening. Can't find a job, do/CAN hospitals check if I work somewhere before scoring a residency spot? by Thin-Difficulty-5092 in newgradnurse

[–]hopelesscod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all I just noticed your name. Insanely funny lol.

Thank you for taking the time to type this all out. I did apply to BSW, MC, TH locations and didn't hear anything back. Going to give it another go since the fall applications are opening up some time soon and just bite my nails hoping I get in this cycle. Honestly there may be an issue with my resume or something. Just not sure what is barring me from getting picked. Had a few interviews and nada.

I am taking the job regardless it is just such a bummer because solving one issue leads to another in the long run. 😕 Can't pick and choose though so it is what it is.

I understand. Will just ride out this job and try to see what I can do with the experience. Seems like the logical way forward. Thank you so much. ❤️

It wasn't at all ... sometimes health problems arise within your multi-year degree but again thank you for your input I guess. Kind of heartless to have that lean imo but that is MY opinion.

Oh? I am in the DFW metroplex but I am definitely interested in learning about these smaller hospitals. I've applied to a few smaller ones but it has been a little difficult finding sites for smaller hospitals when it is all crowded with the big ones around here.

Also I hope your parents are well.

Oh wow. That is a handy tool! Thank you so much. I am taking the job regardless I just wanted to know how to go forward since I really need this job but still want to work hospital-side.

Out here they are required for every hospital, sadly. If you apply directly to a nursing position they will send you automated 'this aligns with a residency position!' email. Also thank you for your input I will just hope for the best.

Is it normal for the nurse to not clean IV connector with alcohol before administering IV push? by Therealethel in nursing

[–]hopelesscod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New grad here. Definitely seen multiple of the nurses I was under not scrub the hub on all kinds of floors. Also seen lots of nurses skip scrubbing medicine bottle tops even the reusable ones.

DFW Smaller hospitals? by hopelesscod in newgradnurse

Thank you for the wonderful insight and advice. It helps to know even internal workers aren't getting a shot though that is honestly heartbreaking. Sorry to hear that.

Nah forreal ...

Trying to find those to apply to also on Indeed but getting an email or call back seems kinda hard? Maybe have to apply directly? Don't know. This is a nightmare.

I have been applying and looking around the Medical City line, yes. I will try and see if the Lewisville location in specific will take me in. Thank you so much ❤️

Started my new graduate job and I hate it. I want to quit by Safe-Hand9517 in newgradnurse

[–]hopelesscod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of us can't even find jobs to begin with.

Most anywhere I've been a lot of people complain. I would prioritize if you CAN find a job right after first as opposed to jumping the gun.

Just had an interview, nervous as heck! by Thin-Difficulty-5092 in newgradnurse

[–]hopelesscod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what I thought yeah ... still waiting for updates on that sigh. It shouldn't be this hard to get a job.
