Our dear sweet new grads, this one’s for you! Disclaimer: this is not an episode on how to pass the NCLEX, it has been far too long and too much has changed. This episode is about everything that comes after you successfully pass. When should you start looking for a job? Do you need to start on med surg? Plus, your hosts talk about what to be looking for when you’re searching for a job (hello well paying, unionized position!), and all the things you should be asking about during the interview process. How do you know what a good paying job even is? D and Jackie cover all of this, as well as resume tips, common misconceptions new grads have, and rapid-fire tips. So hang in there and have faith in yourself y’all; you’ve got this, and we’ve got you!
