  1. Anxiety has taken over

    I just saw this the other day, I hope it helps... "Your value does not decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth." This totally put things into perspective for me as I'm coming off orientation at a new job and the anxiety comes often! G...

  3. Phone interview

    Yes, I understand that. My question was do you guys think its a good sign that he thanked me for a good interview, and that i did well compared to previous interviews with other candidates, or do they tend to tell people that they interviewed well at...
  4. Phone interview

    Oh I hope so! I would still have to do an in person interview before being offered a position. Fingers crossed!!!
  5. Phone interview

    This afternoon I had a phone interview at a great hospital that I did several clinical rotations during nursing school. I have BSN, previously 13 years experience as a medical assistant and currently two years experience in subacute rehab/SNF and I'm...
  6. HELP!!!!

    Ok, so I felt the interview went ok. I was so nervous, but I answered honestly and professionally. He was very pleasant and friendly, he was HR nursing recruitment and said he would be forwarding candidates with good interviews to NMs. I felt as if I...

  11. How to Survive the Job Search

    Same here. Not one call with hundreds of apps sent out since about fall of 2012. I work on a SNF/rehab floor of a LTC facility but Im miserable there because I have wanted to be a L& D nurse since I was a teenager (im 37). I have my BSN and 2.5 ...
  12. Also, even if you go for the BSN straight through, there's a good chance you'll be starting out in LTC/rehab anyway. That's what myself and a lot of my classmates had to do because hospitals don't want anyone with no experience...including BSNs!
  13. I would, if you can, start taking your pre-reqs like your english, math, electives, psych/soc etc now. Do one or two of those at a time if you have to before your child is 3 so you have those out of the way. I went straight for the BSN but I already ...
  14. Interviewing after accepting offer

    I work in rehab and this happens ALL THE TIME. Those places know most young or newer nurses are there for the experience and go. They also know that nursing schools are spitting out new nurses every 6 months or so. There's probably tons of nurses beh...
  15. HELP!!!!

    Yeah. I think at this point I'm going to just go into HR offices directly. Whenever I have called, I get a series of prompts until a message tells me they cannot check status of apps due to high volume. Once I ignored that little fact and pushed thro...
