We have float pool RN's who are trained to float to all the unit of our hospital, but that doesn't change us Staff RN's from floating. I work med/surg/tele and only float to the other med/surg/tele floor. My hospital won't send a RN to a unit if they...
I work 8hr/5 days and I hate it. Here is what my schedule looks like: Work M-T-W-TH, off F, work Sat-Sun-M, off T, work W-TH-F off the weekend. Repeat. Having one day off at a time is not a way to recover from the work week. Working 4 days in a row ...
My school didn't offer a preceptorship and I will start my first job as a new grad nurse next week. They definitely asked all of us interviewees about our preceptorships during the first round of interviews, and at first I really felt like I was at a...
I start next week and my commute is 1 hr, without traffic. Although, there is ALWAYS traffic so it'll be more like 1 1/2-2 hrs. Blah, looks like I'll be moving closer, I'd be willing to do 45 mins.
LizzoRN- It's not my place to say anything about what that message means, but what I can tell you is: They received 700 applications, already interviewed 60 people in a first interview, of which they narrowed down to about 30 people and already inter...

I use indeed.com for my job search. Also, I go to the actual websites of the hospitals I want to work at, they usually have postings for jobs that aren't advertised elsewhere.

Okay good. I used my father's address as well (I live in the Bay Area, he just happened to be closer to the hospital) if I get the job, I plan on moving closer. My scenario is the opposite of you, I went to nursing school in Philly and I'm now back ...

Thanks nicrn7, I have a question for you, I noticed that you are located in Pittsburgh... is that correct? I know that a lot of these new grad programs will usually only contact applicants who are located nearby (ie Washington Hospital). Not all hosp...
