2. 2 years med/surg means nothing in job hunt

   stren003 replied to stren003's topic in General Nursing

   So, I just received email notifications that I "have not been selected for consideration" for two out of three OB positions that I applied for at other hospital systems in my area. I am literally heartbroken. I still have a few outpatient oncology ap...

   Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Maybe in a few years, travel nursing could be an option. Trying to finish getting kids through school and other family commitments, so moving isn't an option for now. I do browse Indeed, but have been af...

   You mention patient ratio's. Just to let you know, I worked med/surg neuro tele and we had 4 high acuity patients on days /eves and 6 at night. Most nurses on the night shift (myself included) almost never left on time. On the other hand, I did learn...

8. Working nights w/ barking/needy dogs that probably wouldn't let me sleep during the day

   stren003 replied to lmb93's topic in General Nursing

   I have 4 crazy, wound up labs and work nights. For my house, I have a routine that works well. By the time I arrive home around 8:00 am, everyone else in the family is gone for the day. My son has fed the dogs breakfast around 7:00 am and let them ou...

    stren003 replied to sarah.s's topic in School Programs

    It's not my score that was the issue......I had an error on my transcript that we didn't catch, so they had to deny my entry to the program. I had to do the appeal thing, so I guess I am on the appeal waitlist. I figured there was only 1 waitlist, bu...
