Hi folks, I just need to vent. I'm lost, irritated, and just downright upset. I received my license in August 2008 and have not been able to find any type of RN position. I took two refresher courses did some certification and now I have a window of opportunity to get my masters, but I just don't have the strength to study or write papers [...]

Rookie Wit & Wisdom

After being laid-off twice since graduating last year, I finally got a job offer as an Acute Care Traveling Apheresis RN (I'll cover 74 hosp in a 75-mile radius). This job sounds awesome---lots of autonomy; I won't be stuck in one place for 8+ hours, 1:1 patient contact; cutting-edge technology in a highly specialized field (which will soon boom b/c of the stem cell stuff [...]

So here is the problem, nurses are graduating all over the country and many of them are not getting jobs.

I graduated in Aug 2009 and passed my NCLEX ages ago. I have been looking everywhere for jobs as a new grad, but nobody is willing to hire me. Anyone has any suggestions on where to search or know places that are hiring for new nurses? Thank you!

I am new here and I want to become a nurse. I'm in my mid 30s and I hope I'm not too old for it. Anyway, my question is can student nurses, what I mean by that is, students still in school not yet licensed/certified as RN be able to work at a clinic or doctor's office? Do doctor's even hire them even if they're [...]

I graduated from nursing school in May and landed my first job in August. With the economy the way it is and hiring freezes in many U.S. cities, I took a job that I otherwise may not have. I am wondering how many months I should stay at this hospital before applying elsewhere. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Rookie Wit & Wisdom

I know that it is frustrating trying to find a nursing job right now for new graduates. I've been looking for over a year now.

I graduated in 2007 with my BSN and passed the NCLEX. I had a few job offers before I graduated from school, but the effects of the economy eliminated those opportunities. I haven't been picky looking for opportunities. I have been [...]
