Nurses Career Support

Published

I work in a med/surg neuro floor. I have been working there for 6 years. I recently applied for a charge nurse position. There were four candidates. I have my MSN, a member of American Association for Neuroscience Nurse. I will be sitting for my certification as a neuroscience nurse in July. I am a teacher at a local college two days a week. I have been doing relief charge nurse for the past 4-5 years on the unit. I have also volunteered my time with the American Cancer Society and Epilepsy Foundation. I am also part of the EHR team, where at least once a month I train travel nurses on the use of our EHR. The manager for the unit hired two nurses for the position. Both nurses only have their bachelor's degree. One has a license that is under probation, and he has only done the charge position one time. He has been working on the floor for approximately 3 years. I feel like the hiring process was unfair. I had a great interview, the manager even said that I had a great interview when she gave me the bad news. I really feel unfairly treated and discriminated against. What would you do?

Specializes in Psych ICU, addictions.

I also don't see any discrimination here--MSNs are not a protected class.

Sorry you didn't get the job, OP.
