Apr 13, '12Quote from GadgetRN71Thanks for reminding me.. I had to reiterate Three times about the additional TEMPORARY position added to the current resume I brought.When I was relatively new, I applied for a job at a hospital. I had the date I passed NCLEX on my resume.The guy who did the preliminary interview kept insisting that I must have gone to nursing school out of the country, because the NCLEX wasnt an "American" test. He then wondered why, since I didn't have an accent, that I felt it necessary to attend nursing school out of the country. So weird. I kept expecting that Ashton Kutcher guy to jump out and scream that I've been punked! Nothing I said would convince the dope. I didn't get the job despite being qualified for it and I think he was why. But, if more people at that facility were like him, I wouldn't have wanted to work there.I believe things work out a certain way for a reason..
She couldn't hear me the first time .. or the second time.. that it was a temp position!
She cant communicate .. but many questions in the interview were about MY ability to do so! -
Apr 13, '12Quote from Been there,done thatI'm willing to bet you already know the answer to this, but No, you don't have to put up with it; I'm pretty comfortable saying you'd be unhappy in no time there. I really do believe an interview with vibes like you had says "Get Out Now".Thanks for reminding me.. I had to reiterate Three times about the additional TEMPORARY position added to the current resume I brought.

I once took a job (not nursing, long ago) because I needed one. I didn't like the husband & wife team who interviewed me as the office manager for their small business; they were odd to say the least. My radar was telling me that this wasn't going to be quite right, but I was worried I might not land another job that paid as well too quickly, so....I took it. Mistake.
The radar I was picking up in the interview, my instinct was 100% right; I quit that job before I actually got my first paycheck (since the check was a week late, otherwise, it would have coincided).
Point is, listen to your gut reaction to the interview. In your case....forget this job. -
