  1. Discouraged new RN

    I'm one year out of school/post-licensure. Let's all face it. We are dealing with a broken system. Why set high expectations? Do what you can do within your sphere of influence. If you can't enjoy the work, why bother? There's a million different kin...
  2. I am wondering, have any of you had to submit to back x-rays as part of the health screening procedure? I know this sounds strange, but I declined a recent job offer due to this invasive request.
  3. Safety Concern

    An update on this: I landed a job in the last month. Basically I learned a few things: It may be a long search or a short one for your first job depending. I may have made life tough for myself post-grad/licensure by looking far and wide rather t...
  5. I posted this for another with a similar q: It may be a long search or a short one for your first job depending. I may have made life tough for myself post-grad/licensure by looking far and wide rather than in my own back yard. Go with the network...

  7. X-ray for pre-employment screen?

    Thanks for all the input here. !0 years ago the Irish courts outlawed this practice: X-ray exams: new rules you need to know - irishhealth.com One can argue the health risks, but no one can deny there are none. The message is: you wanna work for us?...
  8. After a lot of searching I got a job offer. They want me to submit to a back x-ray among the pre-employment screening of my health. I feel like declining the offer for two reasons: A) I take x-rays for medical reasons, not to satisfy legal departme...

    Ok, done. I don't take much stock in web-based tools because I think they are mostly used for marketing and third party research purposes, but my info and resume is now posted at monster. Thanks for the advice.

    I am sorry that I touched a sore nerve. I do not believe unemployment is like having cancer. I know what it is to be sick and it is not like searching for a job, having nowhere to use one's skill set and not having income. Good health is king, and I ...

    ...and by the way, if you are referring to my "relay for life" comparison, I ask you to consider this: what is the mission of relay for life? what is the mission of the RN? Are they both not about helping to heal and restore health to its optimal sta...

    Thanks for your sentiment, not.done.yet. Your handle for me says it all. I was laying in bed late last night and it was like this light went off. It's taken me nearly a year to realize this. Nursing is an adventure, right? I don't want to give up on ...
