Nursing students need to think about their first nursing position well before their final semester or graduation from nursing school. Planning ahead and understanding the job search process helps ensure a successful transition from student to practicing nurse. This chapter guides nursing students through the process of finding and securing their first nursing position. Various clinical settings suitable for new graduates, including medical-surgical, critical care, and emergency departments are compared and contrasted. The chapter emphasizes the importance of structured transition-to-practice programs and organizational culture in supporting new nurse success. Special attention is given to assessing organizational factors that contribute to positive work environments and successful nurse transitions. Practical strategies for job searching are provided, including developing vision statements, creating resumes, attending job fairs, and evaluating potential employers. Interactive self-assessments and synthesis activities help students develop their job search materials and compare potential employers through structured exercises and reflective practices. The chapter emphasizes that the first nursing position serves as a foundation for future career development rather than a final destination.
