“There’s a nursing shortage.”

We naturally assume that because of this, landing our dream job will be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, it isn’t as easy as it sounds. Good hospitals are often very competitive and to secure those positions, you have to be a top-candidate. But… what does a top candidate look like? Are they experts at things like meds, procedures, education, and more?

Unfortunately, many new grads or nurses in a new role often feel really ill prepared for those responsibilities, so it can feel next to impossible to articulate the value you bring to the table.

Here at FreshRN, we get it because we’ve been there. We’ve sat in the interview chair, nervous and feeling like we’re not at all qualified… just praying we’ll get the offer. To help make this entire process run much smoother for you, we’ve created a hub of resources that range from blog posts, to resume templates, to mini courses, and finally our comprehensive one-stop all-access resource: Hired.

Best Jobs for Older Nurses

At FreshRN, we know that many resources you’ll find online are not practical, are written for the perfect-world situation, or contain so much detail that it’s impossible to know what will move the needle. But we’ve been where you are now, and we know that landing a nursing job that is right for you requires preparation and skills you may not have learned in nursing school. You’re new. You’ve never done this before. How can you know what the gaps are? That’s where we come in. We’ll tell you what you need to know so that when you’re ready to apply for the job or ace that nursing interview, you’ll be ready.
