I think it's a great idea you took the traveling position. Jobs are very hard to come by these days, and showing that you are working will get your foot close through the door of local...

Travel nursing or agency nursing might find something for you that could turn into a great thing.

I agree with others, forget pursuing with that particular medical system, and pursue others. Sounds like they will always have you under the thumb with their politics. This may be the push you need...

Congratulations on your new job offer!

I was informed by a nurse recruiter to go ahead and apply for other positions the following week if I didn't hear back from the position I originally applied for.

Don't give up. Many RNs, new grads, those with experience, and RNs returning to the job market are experiencing frustration too. Network with former classmates, and keep applying.

A nurse is a nurse is a nurse! We all trained and passed the NCLEX, so whichever field of nursing we chose, we are all nurses!

Thank you for posting. We all go through times of despair, and in this economy, I think many of us can identify similar situations with the post. I know of 3 people who took their own lives in 2012....

Keep plugging away. It's great you are getting interviews! Before you know it, you will be offered a position. It's very competitive out there.

I could see if you were out of the nursing force for 3-5 years, a nursing refresher course would be beneficial Since it has only been a little over a year, why would a refresher be necessary? Where...

During an interview at a hospital unit, I inquired about the handling of call outs and supplemental staffing. The response I received, "We don't have call outs here." I almost fell out of my seat,...

I am sorry about the loss of your job. During the exit interview, the NM should have explained the reasoning behind the termination. If he or she could not clarify "not a good fit", look at it as...

Congratulations to you for getting both positions!

Thank you for posting this inspirational experience. It's a motivator for all of us, whether we are just starting out or wish to pursue another avenue in nursing.

I find the best way to break the ice with people is showing interest in responses regarding their personal lives and relating experiences with them. Another way to open the doors to friendship is...

Congratulations on your new position!

What a wonderful way to restore hope. Thank you for posting.

I have worked 8 hr and 12 hr shifts. My preference leans towards the 12 hr shifts. The shifts may be longer, but in my mind, having the 3-4 days off in a row make it worthwhile. After working 12...

I agree with others, when you apply to new positions, apply as a new grad. The experience was too short and not a positive experience to list on the resume. Some healthcare facilities do offer...

I had ladies in their late 50's and early 60's in my nursing class, ANNSY54. After I became employed, I spoke to clinical nursing instructors well into their 60's who came out of retirement due to...

Congratulations on your new position! :cool:

Congratulations on your new position. For all of the aggravation, disappointments, and frustration you have encountered, you have been rewarded with the opportunity to do what you have been trained...

I believe you would benefit by actively pursuing another job ASAP. The staffing issues and "suck it up" attitude from management sounds like a set up for failure. I'm sorry you are having to deal...

As previous posters have noted, it's the employers market today. I am facing a similar situation with interviews (when I can get them). The forgiveness factor no longers exists. One of the...

I would take the position. Like the MelissaLPN said, you never know if you will get contacted for interviews. In my experience with recruiters, the longer you are unemployed, the less desirable we...
