   MarieRandwood replied to MarieRandwood's topic in Job Hunt

   Oh wow, congratulations on your new job (and vacation)!!! I just interviewed today and the manager did not ask about needing time off in the near future so I did not mention anything. She said that HR would be contacting me for an official offer if I...

   No insurance! Thanks for your help, hopefully I get this job!

3. Interview but have vacation planned

   MarieRandwood replied to MarieRandwood's topic in Job Hunt

   Thank you for your advice. I will obviously choose the job over the vacation I was just disappointed since I already paid for it. I will not mention anything during the interview (unless asked) and wait to see if I am offered the position. Thanks!

4. Interview but have vacation planned

   MarieRandwood posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hi allnurses, I have a question regarding when it is the appropriate time to bring up a pre-planned vacation during the hiring process. I have an interview coming up for a PCT position that I really want! I currently work PRN but this new position is...

5. Are you a PCT/CNA and a BSN/RN student ?

   MarieRandwood replied to umslalum's topic in Technicians

   Oh that's nice that it's all on the weekends. I am interviewing for a position that's 3 8's which doesn't seem like much but I currently work per diem and work about once a week. I'm half way done with my 3rd year and I've heard from others that this...

   Hi Umslalum! I know this is an old threat but I am in a similar position as you were. Just curious what you ended up deciding and how it worked out? Thank you!

10. Advice needed

    MarieRandwood replied to proudpops's topic in LPN-RN

    Since your ultimate goal is to become an FNP I would just go straight on and get your RN in the accelerated ASN program. I'm in a BSN program now and know that once I start working I probably won't feel motivated to go back to school! Best of luck wi...

    Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm sure you made this patient feel as comfortable as possible during her final moments and helped her family through the process.

12. Nursing hours

    MarieRandwood replied to GivingLove's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work at hires part-time and some full-time RN positions either 7-3, 3-11, or 11-7. You'd be working 5 days a week and have weekend and holiday requirements still. The majority of nurses work 12's but like I said it's definitely an opti...

13. Considering returning to nursing school

    MarieRandwood replied to LUVTHESUN's topic in General Students

    I think you should do whatever makes YOU happy! Even if you are 50 by the time you graduate is this something that will make you feel proud/accomplished? It seems like accounting isn't doing it for you. There are many places that will hire you for 8h...

14. Will nursing grow on me?

    MarieRandwood replied to lilmissnurse12's topic in General Nursing

    Lilmissnurse12, I’m sorry to hear you are having doubts. I am a nursing student too, I know school is very demanding and I see some of my peers struggling to like it. I understand that you have invested so much time/money that you don’t want to quit ...
