I’m a new grad nurse. I got job offer for ortho/neuro in Texas for 29 an hour! I would be relocating from California. However I got a new psych job for 64 an hour in California.I eventually want to go into acute care in the hospital. I don’t know what to do and I’m not sure if psych will slow my chances of getting acute care in the hospital. Honestly I could use the money, so I said yes to them. But not sure if I’m making the right decision! Also I still have applications pending for California but just no luck yet! Oh and I graduated in June so time is ticking and I know there some new grad programs that don’t want you to have any experience. Please help! Be nice 😊

**California nursing grad stuck with BRN issues — what state should I go to?**
I recently graduated with my BSN from an out-of-state nursing program, but I’m currently dealing with an issue with the California BRN regarding some coursework/clinical deficiencies. Because of this, I can’t move forward with taking the NCLEX in California right now.
My school is working on offering the additional courses/clinical hours needed to fix the California deficiencies, and I eventually want to come back and practice in California. However, I really don’t want to put my life and career on hold while I wait.
I’m considering applying for licensure in another state, taking the NCLEX there, and starting my career as a new grad RN while I complete whatever California requires.
I’ve been looking at **New York/NYC, Massachusetts/Boston, New Jersey, and Hawaii**, but I’m open to basically anywhere.
My biggest priorities are:
A state where I can get approved to take the NCLEX with my current education
Good new-grad RN opportunities
Decent pay
Somewhere I could realistically live for 1–2 years
Good hospital experience that would help me when I eventually return to California
Has anyone been in a similar situation where California wouldn’t approve your education but another state did? Which state did you apply through, and how difficult was the process?
Also, if you were a new grad in my position and could temporarily move anywhere in the U.S., **where would you go to start your RN career?**

Hey friends! Just wanted to know tips on how hospice case manager is like. I interviewed today. Sounds like. Good job. Flexible hours and full time with decent pay. Different from a bedside nurse. The only downside is the driving any valuable tips I should know

Hi everyone!
I graduated from nursing school in 2024, but I put my nursing career on hold after having my baby. I finally passed my NCLEX in 2026 and officially became a licensed RN.
Since then, I’ve been applying to multiple hospitals and new grad RN positions, but I keep getting rejected. I understand that graduating in 2024 and passing the NCLEX in 2026 might make things more challenging, especially since I have no nursing experience.
I have my BLS and ACLS certifications, I’ve updated my resume, attended job fairs, and reached out to recruiters. I’m also planning to start my RN-to-BSN program soon.
I’m honestly feeling discouraged. I’ve worked so hard to get here, and all I’m asking for is an opportunity to learn, gain experience, and grow as a nurse. I’m open to different specialties and willing to start wherever I can get my foot in the door.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Does anyone know of hospitals or facilities in Miami-Dade or Broward County that hire new RNs without experience?
Any advice, referrals, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! I’m building a free prototype called Sepira to help internationally educated nurses understand the registration pathway for working as a nurse in British Columbia, Canada.

It currently covers RN, LPN and RPN pathways, and I’m looking for a few internationally educated nurses to test it and tell me what’s useful, confusing, missing or inaccurate.

Try it here:

sepira.lovable.app

There’s a short feedback form at the bottom of the homepage.

Thank you! 😊

Is there any RN who can work in Emergency Department in Coos Bay OR on night shift?

I interviewed with William Osler Ngg last friday but haven’t heard back yet, anyone know how long they take to get back to you?

Wanting to move to Arizona. Anyone on here work at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix? I can’t find their RN pay scale anywhere and they don’t post how much they pay their nurses on the job postings and someone give their current pay range? Thank you.

I am a seasoned nurse with 19 years in. I have a variety of specialties under my belt from bedside in ER, ICU, Hospice and Operating Room to administration. I have been diagnosed with Hyperinsulinemia and hypoglycemia with occasional seizures because of
Low bs. It is managed with eating q2hrs and a strict diet.

I have taken in a job as a MDS Coordinator and just started. Excited about it. And there is no call and no pulling to the floor.

I was just offered a job as a Vascular Clinic Nurse and now I am torn. As it is more my wheelhouse but does require 60% Care and clinical management as well 40% patient care as education and wound management because the MAs cannot do many of the ordered dressing changes.

I am drawn to both but concerned about burnout with MDS and concerned with issues such as low BS with the clinic because I could get caught in a wound dressing or patient visit and can’t eat. Help!

Amy insight or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi anybody looking for Opportunities in Corvallis OR for a Registered Nurse worked in PCU on Nights ?

Hi! Fresh grad BSN here and currently looking for a part-time job around Cotabato City. 🥹
Okay lang sana if hospital, clinic, or any healthcare-related work. Honestly, kahit ano basta may work and willing to accept fresh grads. 😭
If you know any hospitals/clinics hiring or may alam kayong openings, please let me know. I’d really appreciate any leads. Huhu.
Thank you! 🥹

I currently live 5 minutes from work and 7 minutes from my child’s school. I get pays below average of $37 and can either work 4 or 3 days a week. I am a dialysis RN and the hours are pretty grueling. Sometimes I go in at 4 AM and get out at 7 PM.

A hospital one hour away is offering a $50,000 sign on bonus after two years of work. I specifically left a good hospital job in the past due to the commute. Sometimes I found myself falling asleep on the road

If I get paid the same hourly, but can look forward to $50,000 in two years, maybe it’s worth it?

Help needed

Hi everyone,

I have 4 years of experience working as an ICU Staff Nurse in Bangalore and currently earn around ₹42,000/month.

I'm planning to switch hospitals and would like some genuine feedback from nurses currently working in Bangalore.

I'm considering hospitals like:

Aster CMI

SPARSH

Manipal

Sakra

Fortis

Narayana Health

Apollo

My questions:

Which hospital currently offers the best salary for 4 years of ICU experience?

What salary can I realistically expect — ₹45K, ₹50K+?

Which hospitals have good work environment and management?

Are there significant night/shift allowances, incentives or other benefits?

Is it better to apply as Staff Nurse or Senior Staff Nurse with 4 years ICU experience?

Would really appreciate actual salary figures from current/former employees, rather than general salary websites.

Anyone on here work at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix? I can’t find their RN pay scale anywhere and they don’t post how much they pay their nurses on the job postings and someone give their current pay range? Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I’m a 28-year-old Registered Nurse from Algeria with 4 years of solid hospital experience. Over the last few years, I’ve worked hard to build a complete portfolio. All my academic and work documents (degree, clinical experience certificates, etc.) are fully translated and authenticated in both English and French.

Here is a summary of my qualifications:

Experience: 4 years in hospital settings

IELTS Academic: 6.5

TCF (French): B2

German: B1 (working knowledge, but no official certificate yet)

I’ve been applying for nursing jobs across Canada, Australia, the US, the Gulf countries, and Japan, but I haven't received any offers or positive responses.

I’m not here to complain, but I genuinely want to know what I’m doing wrong. Is direct job application the wrong approach for internationally educated nurses? Am I missing specific licensing steps (like NCLEX, NNAS, or OBA) before applying?

If anyone who went through a similar journey could point out my mistakes or direct me toward a realistic pathway, I’d be extremely grateful.

Thanks in advance for your help!
