   megan215 replied to megan215's topic in Agency

   How do I speak up about it effectively? I want to say something about it, ask for an increase even if it IS true that she's getting more. I don't want to get her into any trouble and I don't want to out myself in a position where they stop giving me ...

   megan215 replied to megan215's topic in Agency

   You're absolutely right... people lie all the time. I'don't like to think of us as friends though and I have a hard time finding a reason for her to make up such a lie... but then again some people make up lies for no reason at all. The fact that sh...

   OMG that's awful lilsnfrn!!! I hope that doesn't happen to me:( I can't even get a call back though so I may just lose my skills hoping someone hires me. I had that one interview and have not heard from anyone about anything. The HR lady who was so f...

8. obviously pregnant and need a job

   megan215 replied to megan215's topic in LPN/LVN

   Oh no she didn't ask if I was pregnant, I volunteered the information thinking she'd notice anyway and I didn't want it to look like a deliberate omission. This is somewhere that I'd like to stay long term if I'm offered the position and I'd want he...

    thanks HouTx!! if my tummy wasn't so round I would've stayed quiet till I got an offer but I got nervous that she'd see it, assume I'm lazy or further along and send me swiftly on my way. I wanted her to see how determined and ambitious I am having a...

    UPDATE!!!!! I called HR at the facility headquarters (I guess?? I live in VA and this lady is in PA) to see if I could get an interview with the facility in a different location. She just called to let me know that the DON at the place I want emaile...

    Thanks xoemmylouox and haha I can totally work without any obsession of my son. Of course I love my kid to bits but I want my career and I don't see a reason why I can't be a mother and a nurse. I really think that MA set me up to get let go... when ...

15. Did I Shoot Myself in the Foot?

    megan215 replied to mashelle13's topic in LPN/LVN

    I agree with SoldierNurse22. Just be upfront and discuss your skills. You're still technically a new grad cause you've been out less than 6 months but explain how much you did learn at your previous job. Have you tried a cover letter? Or revamping yo...
