4. Two part time jobs...

   pseudo_name replied to pseudo_name's topic in New Nurse

   I think I'd probably have to resign from the stepdown position at some point if things work out with the ICU position. I'm still trying to find my niche as a nurse. There are days when I hate it to be honest, but then there are days when I feel good ...

5. Two part time jobs...

   pseudo_name replied to pseudo_name's topic in New Nurse

   That's what I'm a little worried about, the scheduling. Both jobs world have to be willing to work with me... Hopefully it'll work out. Well I don't even know if I got the 2nd job yet. Won't find out till next week.

8. How did you land your first RN job?

   pseudo_name replied to DL2013's topic in New Nurse

   I kept applying, everyday, everywhere (I almost moved from NY to North Dakota for a job). I went to job fairs, spoke to a career counselor on how to sell myself and spruce up my resume so that I looked good on paper. I got a lot of rejections, which ...

9. At the end of my rope...

   pseudo_name replied to stickit34's topic in New Nurse

   Wow that's terrible. I also have a co-worker that's very unpleasant and nasty (in general not just to me). I just try to ignore her on the dreaded days I'm stuck working with her. I was so happy when she was FMLA for 3 months after having her son lol...

10. Two part time jobs...

    pseudo_name posted a topic in New Nurse

    Has anyone ever worked two part time RN jobs at once. I know plenty of people work FT and per diem...but honestly would working two part times be do-able?? I interviewed today for a part time ICU position at a hospital I worked at previously as a nur...

11. ICU interview

    pseudo_name posted a topic in Critical

    Any tips for an upcoming interview in the ICU? It's at a hospital I used to work at as an aide. I've been working as an RN since April 2013 on surgical stepdown, but my former employer is willing to interview me for the ICU position which would be pa...

13. No job...giving up

    pseudo_name replied to Nurse J1112's topic in Job Hunt

    How does your resume look? Is there any chance that you'd be willing to apply as an nursing assistant or unit secretary just to get your foot in the door at a hospital? What type of nursing are you interested in? Are there any job fairs coming up soo...

14. Don't know what to do

    pseudo_name replied to pseudo_name's topic in New Nurse

    I'm back on days again, and although it's more stressful (in my opinion) because it's just non-stop tasks (sending pts for tests/procedures, OR, fresh post-ops, discharges, admissions, new orders all the time, etc.), I'm really trying my best to see ...

15. Sorry but I need to get this off of my chest... can anyone relate??

    pseudo_name replied to pseudo_name's topic in Relations

    Thanks all for the replies... I've been reflecting a lot about my career and what I want out of nursing. I'm starting to realize that the people/personalities you work with is SO important. I was placed on nights for 3 weeks as part of an extended pr...
