Help! Trying to return to bedside nursingRating: (votes: 0) I also have a BSN and in medical device, Im getting the same response down here in So Fla, the best response given to me is to take a refresher course Comment:
The new grads are getting the positions because the positions are set up for the new grad specifically because of the difficulty they have getting in the door.Keep going and apply to other places. Where I come from it is who you know in many instances but doesn't sound like it's working out there. I would think that LTC facilities would be more apt to hire then the hospitals and nights is the one shift that is always open. It's a rigorous road but they pay union in most instances. Good luck.

What units are you applying for? You might need to start at a lower acuity than you would like to prove yourself. Just be honest with recruiters and ask where they see you working.

Thank you for all your suggestions. I'll have to look into the refresher course and LTC. I'm applying in units where I have experience, pediatrics (previous clinical experience at CHOP), ED, and cardiac units because I know cardiology and electrophysiology like the back of my hand - but still no luck. I've seen it's definitely who you know because a friend of mine works in the Burn Unit in NYC and her manager said she'd give me a job, but I definitely know the Burn Unit isn't for me...but then when I gave my resume to that hospital's HR department they didn't even want to interview me for a position in another unit. It's very discouraging. Thank you for your advice though!!
