hi i made a post on here a while ago about not getting any job interviews as a new grad. it’s been awful and i feel like im making no progress in ontario. over 50 applications with no responses. my dad even told me to legally change my name in case its because of discrimination.

i received a call from a recruitment firm that finds opportunities for nurses and helps them with the relocation/visa. they let me know the only position they have for new grads is a med surg unit in alabama.

a goal for me has always been to move to the US, hopefully Florida. i dont know how to feel. i started applying to jobs here over 2 months ago. is this a good opportunity ?

i’ve applied to about 50 jobs now. haven’t gotten a single interview.

i did my preconsolidation and consolidation in ICUs, I was also an extern for 2 years in the ICU.

I was actually interviewed for my consolidating unit, but I was so nervous i couldn’t even get words out. i obviously didn’t get the job. i missed simple things like getting a chest x ray for pneumonia and skin color changes in decreased o2 sats. i felt so dumb.

i have applied to every unit i can find including med surg but nothing. how long is usual to hear back from hospitals? it feels hopeless and its worse because im so poor after paying for this license as well 😪 it feels like i worked so hard to start in icu, gave everything i had to that placement and really had the chance but i failed it.

how long do i wait to do the pearson vue trick???

i honestly dont feel that bad about it, but there were some questions that i felt like dying lol

i graduated and never used one .. don’t waste your money!!!

all information is available online, readings are often uploaded by the prof. slideshows are the most important.

i wasted 400 dollars in chemistry textbooks before switching to nursing and i didn’t make that mistake again

!

(i know gown are rental) i wanna decorate my cap but we are gonna receive it day of? awh
