1. Feeling so discouraged

   the smack replied to tugirl12's topic in New Nurse

   It sounds like you're burnt out on the floor and not nursing in general. If you like women's health then start applying to those units. Yes they are heard to get into but it doesn't hurt to try. Go down to those units where you work and try to get ch...

2. A few questions, please

   the smack replied to dianne777RN's topic in Hospice

   Hi. Are you sure the hospice nurse wasn't talking about the Atropine being prescribed for secretions? Or maybe she mixed up her meds and said Morphine but meant to say Atropine.

3. I have an interview in a level 1 trauma center, need advice!

   the smack replied to k-flo's topic in Emergency

   My jaw literally dripped when I read this. I graduated last May and right now I am fighting tooth and nail for a HOSPICE job. I'm going in for a second interview in the morning. If I was in your position I would be doing back flips! Take the job!

4. Which job would you take?

   the smack replied to the smack's topic in Job Hunt

   So first I got a call this morning from the hospice HR telling me to come in for a second interview with the PCA. I'm going in tomorrow morning. Then the oncology clinic called me telling me to come in Tuesday to shadow the nurse and get a feel for i...

5. Which job would you take?

   the smack replied to the smack's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks bebbercorn! I hope one of these jobs comes through. I'm just asking on the off chance I actually get two offers. I think you're right. I'll probably take the hospice job but I'm worried that if the oncology one offers first, what will I say? I...

6. Which job would you take?

   the smack posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Ok I've had two interviews this week after 7 months of applying. One is for an inpatient hospice unit in a hospital. It's not working directly for the hospital but for a hospice company that is located on a floor in the hospital. The other is for an ...

7. Feeling like a stalker....

   the smack replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Job Hunt

   If u have an offer somewhere else, I would shoot her a text and ask if she has any idea when she can get u in for an interview. Let her know ur situation. Honesty is the best policy. If she really wants to see u she'll get u in quickly. It would be a...

8. What's the job market like in Florida right now? New grad.

   the smack replied to bluebeetle7's topic in Florida

   I'm in Miami and it's HORRIBLE here! I have been looking for work since last June. And I'm not picky either. I'll spin signs on a corner for anyone who will hire me as an RN. It's bad...

9. New grad offered a job

   the smack replied to the smack's topic in North Dakota

   They were actually really nice about it. I explained my situation and she told me she'll hang on to my paperwork as long as it takes. I hope I can make this work but I'm not holding my breath. Good luck in your interview and in finding a place!!

10. New grad offered a job

    the smack replied to the smack's topic in North Dakota

    No I didn't. I'm having trouble also because we have kids and need help with them. I don't think I'll be able to take the job :-(

11. Preparation for post grad job?

    the smack replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Job Hunt

    In my opinion, stay where u are. It is highly unlikely that u will be hired as a CNA anywhere especially if u are an ADN grad. They don't want to hire us because they know we're only there until we find the RN position. The responsibilities u have at...

13. New grad offered a job

    the smack posted a topic in North Dakota

    I am a new grad from Miami and have been looking for a job since I graduated last May. Well I finally was offered a position in Williston, ND. Those of you who live there know the housing situation. I've been all over craigslist trying to find a plac...

14. Dissapointed new grad

    the smack replied to 10yang's topic in Job Hunt

    I'm also a May grad and August licensed. This is by far the most frustrating experience of my life. I'm in Miami and there are very few opportunities with thousands of applicants. Here is a suggestion: if you are willing to relocate, look into Mercy...

15. Which state to take the NCLEX? Endorsement from VA to FL?

    the smack replied to livingcj_RN's topic in Career Support

    I don't mean to rain on your parade but good luck finding a job in Florida ?. It is very tough here. What part are you moving to? I'm originally from So Cal, went to nursing school in Las Vegas, and moved to Miami after graduation. This was in May la...
