Nursing Career Fair

I attended the Nursing Career Fair this past Wednesday. I dressed professionally and brought my resume. There were a good number of hospitals represented there, some from around this area and others farther away. I talked to the representatives from Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, Forsyth Medical in Winston-Salem, and Gaston Memorial in Gastonia. I determined that these hospitals had good orientation programs, which is very important when looking at employment options as a new graduate nurse. I also talked to the representative from the Navy Nurse Corps, which offers money to help pay for school and a guaranteed job after graduation. I was able to get a lot of information concerning different programs, which will be helpful. Finding a job is one of the next big things on my to-do list besides graduating, and taking NCLEX. It is a little overwhelming to think about finding and getting the right job when I’m not totally sure where I want to work. For now, my plan is to apply to a number of different places, seek God, and trust that He will bring me the right one.
