Congratulations, you just learned that you passed your NCLEX and you are ready to apply for jobs. Consider the following to discuss where you will apply for positions as a registered nurse:
How do you think the organizational structure of the Nursing department will have an impact on your orientation, ability to provide care?
There aren’t a lot of jobs for new grads in your area, how will you utilize the nurse practice act to determine if you want to apply for a position in a different state? How do you access the nurse practice act or board of registered nursing?
One hospital is a magnet hospital but only hires BSN nurses.
One Hospital is 80 beds and one is 200 beds.
One of the hospitals has had a nursing strike in the last year.
When you look on Indeed, you note that one hospital has a lot of vacant RN positions that have been posted for greater than 3 months.
Do you look at Yelp for opinions of the hospital?
Do you go to Hospital compare to see how the hospital ranks?
If you look out of state for a job, what are the nurse ratios if any?
Do you consider team or primary care nursing in your decision to apply?
How will you get the “inside scoop” from someone who works at the facility to see if you will be a match?
What if they don’t have a new grad program where they have an extended orientation?
Would you apply for an externship program instead of a staff nurse program?
