Common questions

How many new grad RN jobs are open in Connecticut?
Right now, 741 open RN jobs in Connecticut don't rule out new grads, and 156 say new grads are welcome.
Can I apply to nursing jobs before I pass boards?
Often, yes. Many employers and residency programs take applications while a test date or ATT is pending, and some states allow practice on a graduate permit. The posting or program page states what it accepts.
What is a nurse residency, and do I need one?
A structured first year: longer orientation, a cohort, classroom time. You don't need one to become a good nurse, but the structure helps, and the fine print on commitment and repayment terms is worth reading before you sign.
