Late on interview.

Still laughing! I didn't know one needed a professional license to laugh at someone. Given that I do have a professional license...I guess I shall laugh away.

It's very NOT smart to assume that just because I have CNA behind my name, that I also lack a professional license.

Do you know there are other professional licenses besides nursing?

And I wasn't laughing at her struggle to word her email. I laughed at the combination of the QUOTED words. You've done a lot of assuming here...I hope that doesn't carryover into your practice.

You seem to be backpedaling that you were not laughing at her. Yes.. you did. Doing quite well in my PROFESSION. I have succeeded in my 33 years of PROFESSIONAL nursing. I have gained respect and admiration from fellow PROFESSIONALS, doctors, patients and administration. I currently work from home , making 6 figures. I never laughed at anyone.

Always leave early. When you arrive early, you have time to stop by the restroom, freshen up, and de stress pre interview.

I left for my interview today an hour & a half before the schedule time. I'm glad I did because I missed the entrance to the hospital, had to look for parking, eat & brush my teeth (after buying tooth paste & mouth wash). Oh & because I was early my interview started early too. Bonus!

Thank you for all the comments. I really appreciate it. One more question, do you think guys I can able to apply again but different position to them? I really want to work with them. Just asking :|

You can apply but whether they consider you is a different story. I don't think any company can truly block a potential applicant from applying. I wouldn't get my hopes up too high but it's not impossible.

I would still look at other places

I think someone who can pass the NCLEX with English as their second language must be pretty bright. I do see your point and realize that impression that others might get by her post. I am just reflecting back to my own experiences with nurses from other cultures who don't have the best English and have seen many many hard workers amongst them. It is a multicultural world out there these days and Indian and Fillipino nurses and doctors are becoming more and more prominent. I think most do a great job of assimilating. The biggest issue against her is her tardiness and not some slight grammatical errors. But I do see where everyone is coming from.

I wish I could "like" this a million times. My mom moved to the US in her 20's after growing up in very rural Thailand. She started teaching herself English while still in Thailand after getting the equivalent of a 3rd grade education. She became a naturalized US citizen, got her GED, and has worked a great job for the last 30 years. She is one of the smartest, hardest working people I know but her English... well, it still sucks. She says (& writes) things like "I'm just keep smile" when she's talking about her philosophy of smiling through the tough times. The discrimination I've witnessed her suffer makes me so angry and hurt I can't talk about it.

Here's the point I wanted to make to the OP though: if English isn't your strength, don't be too proud to ask for help. My brother and I help edit Mom's "important" correspondence to ensure that she isn't dismissed as unintelligent based on her English skills. If you don't have family members you can ask for help, you could try a public library, or your city/state might have an employment resource center.

May public libraries, county colleges and high schools offer free ESL classes. You may even find someone willing to help proof read important communication

Thank you much guys! I learned a lot here! :)

Good luck to you and I hope it all works out.

I agree with many of the posts here. I don't think you would want to work in that position anyway if they are so inflexible. I would definitely continue to apply for jobs with that organization if they have a good reputation as an employer overall. I would continue to look for jobs elsewhere. If you have enough experience to apply for a supervisor position, you must be eligible for many types of positions in many organizations.

No need to back peddle what I laughed at is Quoted.

What's even funnier than your assumptions is your PMs. Why are you sending Pms telling me that I'm just an aide? Lol...Why are you sending me Pms highlighting your nursing career ? My response must have really struck a nerve! But, I really don't give a damn about your 33yrs as a nurse or your supposedly 6 figure income, lol. I don't require your permission to laugh, nor do I need to meet your qualifications! However, your message was funny and I did appreciate the comic relief.

I loved the fact that you provided a snippet of your credentials via Pm,to someone you deemed as "Just an aide." I'll make sure to pass it on to a few nursing managers, as I'm not hiring at this time.

Lmao.

Would you please explained how I overtop my email?

Apologizing profusely is over the top. I would simply state that you were attempting to find parking and you called to state that you were doing so at the time the interview was scheduled. At which time, the interviewer was cancelled. And ask if you are still a candidate for the position, and if you can reschedule.

Never continue to put yourself down, to add negative connotations to your professionalism, and otherwise go on and on. It reflects poorly on you. And I see it as passive aggressive in nature.

Supervising in any sort of care requires planning. And seeing the big picture. And critical thinking on your feet.

The big picture in this was that you were perhaps going to a metropolitan area that has limited parking. So you think outside the box and decide to take public transportation, that you google a parking garage, set up a taxi service....all planned to arrive 15-20 minutes prior to your interview. Even if you take a few moments outside to decompress, prepare.....and then head to your interview with 5 or 10 minutes to spare.

I am sure that the powers that be know parking is an issue. And are counting on the fact that whomever they decide to hire in a supervisory role knows it as well...or at least can use resources to be informed and act accordingly. Much like the role of a supervisor...
