   RN 033 replied to nichefinder's topic in General Nursing

   wow, I suggest you re-read your last post and listen to your intuition. My guess is this time next year, you'll have bank, but be MISERABLE. Hope some of the patients you care for will be better off in spite of your ulterior motives $$$. It's so disa...

   RN 033 replied to nichefinder's topic in General Nursing

   I found Public Health nursing more to my liking. I love educating clients, hooking them up with referrals and providing nursing care that is more holistic and preventative. I work in Lead poisoning prevention, CHDP and Foster Care. It's a million mi...

   I'm a recent BSN grad from CA and, yes, the PHN certification is included in the program. It wasn't until I had the public health curriculum that found my "calling". I love this job. You're lucky that the CA economy is picking up because there has b...

   RN 033 replied to Joe V's topic in Rock

   Personally, I am so happy that I have a job and doing what I've always wanted to do. Think how horrible it would be for you (if it is getting on your nerves) to struggle through school, years of unemployment/underemployment, student loans, etc. No s...

   RN 033 replied to RN 033's topic in Job Hunt

   @ MrChicagoRN Yes, I would also consider relocating to Northern KY. I was born and raised a "buckeye" :) With all of my extended family still living out there, it would be a quick & easy relocation. Any advice on initiating license process for b...

7. Job searching while out of town visiting family, advice please

   RN 033 replied to RN 033's topic in Job Hunt

   Thank you for your reply...it is kind of a catch 22. I don't want to relocate until I have a job lined up and I understand why facilities wouldn't want to hire unless I was a resident. I wonder if getting my Ohio license now would make me more market...

   I am a recent CA RN-BSN grad with 8 months of LTC experience. My job prospects locally are very limited and I have exhausted any hopeful employment within an hours drive from my home. I believe moving will be necessary to land a decent job (LTC facil...

9. Has anyone used a PowerPoint presentation to add to the interview?

   RN 033 replied to RN 033's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks for your advice! Within the interview I discussed my computer program abilities and think that was all that was necessary. I must have done something right, because they have requested another interview this week! :)

    See if you have a local One Stop Unemployment office or similar department that can help you gain confidence in your interview skills. They provide opportunities to learn skills and practice mock interviews along with resume help. Good luck!

12. Sorry state of Nursing ...

    RN 033 replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    My first job as a new grad was filled with unprofessional behavior and disrespect for coworkers. I thought maybe it was just the facility, but after reading so many posts and talking to seasoned nurses, believe it to be common practice. I'm looking f...

    RN 033 replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Public/Community

    I applied for a county PHN position in early January, interviewed in March and was rejected in April due to lack of experience (new RN-BSN grad), about a six week wait before I got the letter. I just received a call yesterday asking if I would still ...
