I have a MSN, I can rebuild and engine, brakes, change the oil, but not be hired for the almighty acute care. My resume looks good, and I can perform all the almighty task. Its attitude, greed, and management that is killing the vibes bro's. Just say...

OK I should have quoted. I have to say that I never have seen a blog that doesn't attach responses and threads automatically. Lesson learned. Just another waste of my hard work becoming a RN. Let me say this in conclusion before I call this discussio...

OK I will use QUOTE. Since I wrote this blog post, and my experience is similar to the exact conditions you are talking about, I AGREE with your comments. This is an artificial "shortage"... I have thus quoted you and I agree, I agree, I agree, I ag...

I am relocating. I was hired at the first regionally distant place I applied and I am thrilled. I wasn't hired because of my education, I was hired because I was talked to during the interview, instead of the typical behavioral questions, I was given...

Hmmm... that is another thing I have heard so often. "SNF's and Home Health doesn't give you the acute care back ground necessary for a medsurg position". "We won't hire someone that's not going to stay". (Kind of an insult right?) Is that therefore ...

Thanks for that comment. Indeed it seems like again it depends on the region we are becoming educated, and learning novice skills, continues to be the factor. Im curious: What do you think is the reason places that have no "shortage" of candidates mi...
