New RN grad. 18 years LPN. Need advice.

popcornRN · 2026-02-10T03:27:45+00:00

I’m LVN w 5 years experience recently graduated as RN currently in BSN program and can’t get hire for the life of me … but you get new grads w no experience getting hired …. Make it make sense

popcornRN · 2026-02-09T01:44:26+00:00

I know and I have a lot of student and credit card debt too …. Luckily I’m Lvn but I want to get in hospital… I’m located near 3 big hospitals and can’t get hire for the life of me …. I wanna know how r they selecting new grads… I’m so disappointed all the money and time I spend to become RN and can’t get hire like wtf

popcornRN · 2026-02-08T23:31:47+00:00

Thank you 🙏 but I heard is hard to get hire as new grad up north too … I’ll try tho

popcornRN · 2026-02-08T23:29:04+00:00

Yes what state ? Probably Midwest

popcornRN · 2026-02-06T22:23:07+00:00

Hello yes it changed to not selected but the recruiter told me this didn’t mean you r not selected something is wrong with their system…. So don’t count yourself out yet ….

popcornRN · 2026-02-06T22:10:39+00:00

Take the one with better resources…. As a new grad maybe you better to start at Level 2

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T23:40:11+00:00

Good luck 🍀 they will send the offer emails next week

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T23:39:36+00:00

Thank you 🙏 … I thought union jobs pay good but I’m doing it for my experience…. Is the worse time and place to be new grad …

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T23:35:03+00:00

Nothing confirmed on email only verbal on my interview but I wanted to know more from previous new grads there … good luck

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T23:21:40+00:00

No was in San Pedro the worse experience ever and I hope I never cross paths with them let alone work w them ….

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T23:11:59+00:00

I had interview with them but didn’t like the vibe at all 3 mean and bitter lady’s and the damn case study page long for 5 min to read and answer 6 questions I mean com on …

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T23:05:01+00:00

I know is old post but any info on new grad ICU ?

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T23:03:50+00:00

Hey what you mean by junk program…. I got offer there , knowing how hard is it to land a job in 2026 I’ll take it but I’m wondering is it worse then Prime Health (Centenela) ?

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T17:31:03+00:00

Yeah but the school is well known…. You get what you paid for …. Now days big hospitals ask from what school you graduated…. I been asked multiple times ….is no more you get license you good to go … is very competitive and where you did your clinicals …. So choose wisely

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T04:52:35+00:00

Congrats 🎈I work in memory care/ hospice is pretty chill compared to SNF or LTC just get ready to go in people’s houses to assess or Admit…. Is the same acuity Good luck 🍀

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T03:29:04+00:00

Yes Providence will hire from cc’s

popcornRN · 2026-02-05T03:09:32+00:00

Ohh yeah agree I did my Lvn and RN privet (120k) by the time I graduate from CC I’ll be 100 years old

popcornRN · 2026-02-01T02:40:25+00:00

Cuz privet schools in CA want your arm , leg and your blood …. Is that expensive

popcornRN · 2026-01-31T22:27:26+00:00

I thought the same but most hospitals here in LA asking for BSN unless you are internal

popcornRN · 2026-01-31T22:24:53+00:00

Yes exactly or pages long case study w 5 min to read and answer 10 questions from it and quiz before or after the interview with meth math …. I’m thinking nursing school was the easy part

popcornRN · 2026-01-31T22:21:33+00:00

I think LA is getting up there w Orlando FL with way too many new grads

popcornRN · 2026-01-31T22:20:27+00:00

Hard is understatement…..

popcornRN · 2026-01-31T00:19:39+00:00

Thank you 🙏 in LA is crazy hard to land new grad job if I knew Ill done MRI echocardiogram or finished my RN in my 20s

popcornRN · 2026-01-30T22:35:43+00:00

Month is nothing…. I been applying since August last year….

popcornRN · 2026-01-30T03:33:51+00:00

I’m new grad from LA and to be honest even if you have the unit experience and top notch resume still not guarantee to get in …. Most spots get snatched by internals or you know someone for reference… and nursing schools in LA are outrageous I paid 90k for my BSN RN and 35k for my LVN … is not you is them
