I need some advice !!

[Rascal1]

I'm in the job hunt,after not working since April. I was "let go" secondary to my "absences",in my last two jobs. I'm now, starting over with a brand new attitude. How do I handle this in interviews? I've had two over the last three weeks(holidays) and haven't heard anything... Help...

It sounds like a cush job. I mean,, every 6th weekend you're on call?? wow, that's like every month and a half!! and then it's only 'call'.. you may not even have to go in.

So, where it says your base pay rate,, is it broke down hourly or weekly or monthly? If it is hourly, then you're an hourly payrate.. if it is weekly or monthly, you're more than likely salaried,, but it should state that you are salaried.. that is important to know.

Thanks for your thoughts...No....not a cushy job,though !! Respondsible for completing ten page medicare reports detailing all the medical care of pts.,for medicare re-imbursement,submit them to the state ,write,update the careplans. Run care plan meetings. Thats why nurse's notes are so important... What they here about the job,and the reality may not be on the same page. Any other thoughts ?

In other words,will every six weeks on call turn in to every 3 weeks...?
