I’ve worked few months in med-surg(new grad travel assignment but I felt incompetent, so I left) then I worked in aesthetics for a year, but I want to go back to hospital yet I don’t have experience and I’m not considered a new grad anymore, help
Travel and agency jobs are not a good fit for new grads. Take a staff job at a hospital near you. You make less money, but if you choose a place that wants quality nurses, they will be able and willing to invest in your education and professional development. You will make less money, but you’ll become a better nurse. Temporary staff that is making lots of money is expected to be independent and able to pick up the slack.
Some hospitals offer a new grad residency and if you ask and explain your situation they should allow you to go through that program to become a bedside nurse. Hope this helps! Good luck.
In your cover letter express your desire for a position where there is a internship opportunity.
Apply again on a med surge unit as a staff member and always be honest during your interview process. Let them know your skill set and your expectations. This would allow them to place you with a really good preceptor to help you gain the skills needed to become a competent nurse.
