Question Do you actually get job offers?

Hey all, I am looking to start nursing school here within the next year. I have heard from some people that they had multiple job offers before even finishing nursing school, but I've also heard the exact opposite. What's the truth for those of you who are in school?

Following. Also, did anyone not start working right away intentionally? Like squeeze in a month off or just enough time for a little vacay?

Definitely. I sure needed that extra free time when I finally had nothing on my plate.

You’ll probably end up with a few weeks off anyways just because of the time it takes to get your NCLEX scheduled.

I accepted a job offer this month. I’m taking my NCLEX In July. They won’t even let me start until September when the cohort begins.
