So what are my chances

Nursing Students NCLEX

Ok here the situation. After I finished with my BSN in May 2010 it took me six months to find a job:eek:. ( and everyones flocking to Texas to find a job:uhoh3:) I was shooting for the something in Med-Surg in the DFW area but after dozen of interviews it was hopeless. I found a job a the rehab center in my home town. I really didn't wanna come back but I did, it was either that or jobless so I moved back in with my parent, wow big change. While in school I work as a LVN in a rehab/ nursing facility that I end up quiting but they listed me as being terminated. (Really screwed up my chances in the DFW). What happen was when I started they gave me one day of training to learn how change dressings for the entire facility. Then after a while they where expecting me to do stuff I was not trained for ( like wound vacs, when I worked at the hospital a wound certified nurse what do that. I talk to my DON about it she was just nonchalant about it) wow. One day I was like whatever and didn't come in ( I had already applied for another job but my potential employer call the rehab/ nursing center and they was like I was terminated). So fast foward, I got a job in my home town but I really would like to do what I love which is med-surg and of course move out my parents house. I have an interview at one of the big hospitals in DFW but I'm afraid I'll it screw up. Should I tell them I'm currently working because when I applied for the job I was not working but on a previous application for another position I applied for later I listed my current employment. I'm afriad it'll look like I'm jumping ship at my current job. I like my current job but I believe this is really a better fit for my career. I see longevity at this facility plus I'll be closer to friends and family. And what should I say about the previous rehab/ nursing job. Sorry for long post thanks

That ^ sounds like you were a no-call no-show for your shift in which case you were probably terminated. Just not showing up for a shift will get you fired most places.

Contact the person in charge where you were a no-call, no-show and see if you can get your termination recharacterized to a resignation. The worst they can do is say "no". You might want to post this thread in the career forum for more responses.

Thank yall for the comments. The interview went great.
