1. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

   NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Job Hunt

   Thank all of you again for the advice! I never felt like I answered the "better than" question properly. I guess I was just flabbergasted as to why they would ask...I always wanted to say,"have you seen my resume? I clearly am the better person"...so...

2. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

   NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Job Hunt

   Marcos9999, I completely feel your anguish. I truly wish Managers would just come out and tell us if we do not fit on their floor. It would probably devastate us and we would cry but the we could gather our wits and try somewhere else It's the never...

3. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

   NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Job Hunt

   This is not the only hospital in the area, it just happens to be the only one I have connections (although loosely) with. I wish I had responded to the "better question" differently! It makes perfect sense now! Even though I have those extras it is ...

4. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

   NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Job Hunt

   Jolie, thank you so much!! I will definitely set up a meeting with them. I guess I just wanted to make sure that all of my eagerness was not a factor in not getting the position. I would really,really like a job on that floor so I did not want to NO...

5. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

   NurseWinn posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I need some good advice. I graduated in May of 2011 got my license in June and began a long and laborious job hunt. After months of endless phone calls, emails, in person hand offs, I got a job. To say I work as a nurse is quite a stretch( more of a ...

   I chose Family birth, Med/Surg and then ICU. My phone interview was super quick, and I am not sure how it went. I hope they call for a second!!

7. Adventist Versant RN Residency

   NurseWinn replied to Av03's topic in Oregon

   10 minutes is so quick! I truly wonder how they narrow it down with such a small amount of exposure!!! Did they let you know how long until the next step? My interview is later today and I am already sweating bullets over it!! I wish us both the gre...

8. Adventist Versant RN Residency

   NurseWinn replied to Av03's topic in Oregon

   Av03, How did it go? I have my phone interview on Friday, trying for Family Birth. I heard they ask a lot of " why do you want to work for Adventist?" Was that true? I am really hoping the lack of advertisement and that they "only" received 250 appli...

9. Staying Alive...or at least in a semi comatose state..

   NurseWinn posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I graduated from my BSN program in May of 2011 and I am still unemployed. I have heard it all and tried it all. I understand that my location most likely is the cause of my current sad state but I am incapable of moving. The general consensus is that...

    Sadly I have not heard anything but I have a friend that received call for a second interview back on the 23rd. I hope they still have other calls to make but seriously think we did not make it this time around. Best of luck to those still searchi...

11. Applying to everything, smart or a huge waste of time?

    NurseWinn posted a topic in Job Hunt

    So my story is becoming more like a bad Gilligans Island rerun! New Grad loved school, excited to work (anywhere) and no job. My location currently has something like a billion New Grads all fighting each other for work (doing anything,anywhere,for ...

    NurseWinn replied to ttt-n's topic in Oregon

    I applied again!! I just love the torture! Had lots of fun at my interview! Spectacular people and then was selected to have my picture taken with the CEO?? That was a little awkward but still exciting! How did it go for the rest of you?

14. Where have all the jobs gone?

    NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Oregon

    Dipana! Thank you for your advice, once you stated it, it seemed so obvious!! I am joining right now as I type and will be searching for the next meet up! I can't thank you enough!! It may not be a job line up but I am sure this will at least put my ...

15. Where have all the jobs gone?

    NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Oregon

    Dpiana,thank you for the reply! I have tried several of those options only to end up spinning my wheels. Most frustrating on government positions as their applications are so long. Have you heard of any success with new grads volunteering at the hosp...
