NewGuy.RN =)

So considering i'm new here it's probably necessary to give a little H&P...well, the h-part anyway. I'm a recently graduated RN and while that naturally brands me as fresh meat, i've had a solid 6 months of ER experience in an aggressive diagnostic and treatment metropolitan unit in Pennsylvania.

I've also just completed 6 years in the PA Army National Guard and am really looking forward to moving out west to SoCal for a little change of pace. I'm in my early 20s and determined so now's as good a time as any i suppose~

I'm currently in the job-hunting phase so if anyone has any recommendations for the LA area i would so very appreciative :)

Welcome to the site!

I wouldn't quite call you 'fresh meat; just someone who is starting in the profession. :)

We have a Military Nurse Forum here, so I hope you drop by there when you can.

Good luck in your venture, and hope to see you post often!

Hey Wizkid,

Welcome to the site and a somewhat belated welcome to nursing. Given your background and experience so far, I don't think it will take you too long to get a job. I like your energy and enthusiasm, let those traits shine but try to temper the headstrong part a little. It can make for a rough ride until you prove what a great addition you are to the staff.

Takd care and good luck,

R

My recommendation for the LA area? Stay away! Move to San Diego- it's nicer, cleaner, people are friendlier, and hospital working conditions are better!
