RealityRN member Auntymai writes, “I haven't been able to find a nursing job and the situation doesn't look good. I've been in contact with my professors at school, and I've been told that the new graduates are not able to find jobs either,”
It’s a sentiment voiced repeatedly by our RealityRN community—and the phenomenon is perplexing. After all, nursing students have been told there’s a nursing [...] Careers In Focus Name: Liz, age 48
Nursing experience: 26 years Job Title: Pediatric Telephone Triage Nurse Metro Area: Denver, Colorado Place of Employment: Hospital How did you find the job? Did you know someone at the clinic or hospital? I found the job by taking my son to speech therapy. The office for the telephone triage unit was across from my son’s speech therapist office. One day, I decided to walk in and [...] Seasoned with Sage Over the last few years I've seen many new graduate nurses get jobs in some pretty intensive areas of healthcare, such as theater/recovery, emergency room, intensive care, pediatrics, and neonatal, to name but a few.
The young graduates are all smiles and full of excitement at landing such interesting jobs. Of course, the units taking on new grads often provide extra time to orientate the new [...] Seasoned with Sage Travel nursing takes a unique skill set as well as a flexible personality.
You know you are cut out to be a travel nurse if you have excellent clinical skills and love to travel. As a travel nurse, you’re constantly on the go, moving from state to state. This is exciting for individuals who enjoy learning about new cities—their history and culture. You don’t always know the [...] Seasoned with Sage A few years ago a physician with whom I’ve worked approached me about using my skills on a service trip to Africa. I jumped at the chance, despite the $2800 price tag. After sending out 100 support letters to friends and family, urging them to help the people of Africa through me, I raised a little over $1000. Luckily, the deficit was met through my [...]

Most new nurses spend countless hours gearing up for the interview. But really, the interview is just a fraction of the evaluation process. Before you even meet face-to-face with a potential employer, you must demonstrate through written communication— your application and resume—that you’re a competent professional.
Unfortunately, many new nurses skimp on this important phase of the job-acquisition process. According to Carolyn Steffel, a nurse recruiter at [...] Managing Your Career It takes “superstars” to make a difference.

But the job has big payoffs, according to Julia Muennich Cowell, PhD, RNC, FAAN, and Professor and Chair of Mental Health Nursing at Rush University in Chicago, IL.

With the touted nursing shortage, you’d think you could bomb an interview and still land any job you want. Think again. Hospitals—especially, reputable ones—are selective. Recruiters use the interview to predict your performance and if you’ll be a good fit. Based on interviews, nurses are often rejected. That’s why Carolyn Steffel, a nurse recruiter at Edward Hospital, a magnet hospital in Naperville, IL, says to [...]
