HCA HOSPITALS

Kim,
I am sorry, I did not make myself plain. I think the remark was rude to you, and unnecessary. If that facility hired a new grad , they surely would have wanted someone with your type of experience. I do wonder where you live that a remark like that to an experienced nurse, even one who had not worked in awhile was just too
nasty.
I understand the need for a job, been there before, but HCA is no picnic. Good luck.

I guess I misunderstood what you said...sorry.
I did up bring the fact that I would be a much better asset than a GN....but the HR person's arguement was that they have recent hands on training and that technology has changed...lame I know. Said she would get back to me.

Anyway, I live in Florida (west coast) and there is a waiting list to get into nursing schools. I was an RN for 10 years, I hope I can get back into something I enjoy.

Thanks...for your thoughts about HCA.

Kim,
My cousin was a RN at a free standing surgery clinic there in Fla. She got her hours reduced to the point it was silly to go to work. Kitty is one smart lady, she her license in Texas and moved there. I am not sure just where but she told another cousin she has plenty of work now. I know moving may not be an option for you but many have done it Good luck.
