Hi everyone,
I'm about to start my final semester of study so I'll be finished by mid 2014. I want to apply for 2015 graduate positions but I read in the Victorian Government Graduate Nurses Handbook that doing this may lower my chances of getting a graduate job as I may not be considered as much of a "new grad" as others going for the job. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this situation and want advice on whether it's a good idea to finish my course now or to spread out my subjects so that I technically finish at the end of the year. The problem with that option however is that I don't have access to more than 1 referee that's nursing related and counted on having a placement this semester to gain a second referee.
so basically what would be worse, applying with 2 strong referees but not being fresh out of uni (6 months out) or being fresh out of uni with the rest of the cohort but not having appropriate referees?
