1. Behavioral Interviews

   PPediRN posted a topic in Job Hunt

   What does everyone think about behavioral interviews? If you're not skilled at story telling then no job. Even if you check every box for qualifications & experience, it comes down to how good you can spin a story. I find them ridiculous & po...

3. COVID Vaccine Safety

   FDA releases data that it based its emergency use authorization for the Pfizer vaccine. Not good. Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event Reports.pdf

4. Who should decide?

   PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Headlines

   I agree. Some times the compassionate thing to do is to let nature take its course. In cases like this I believe family members want to hang on to their dying loved one to avoid the pain of having to say goodbye. You have to know when its time to let...

5. Weird Interview

   PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Job Hunt

   I believe she already had someone hired. Would have been nice to know that before I drove all the way over there. Oh well. In the end maybe I dodged a bullet.

7. Weird Interview

   PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Job Hunt

   Only needed to ask you 2 questions instead of 3. Haha

8. Weird Interview

   PPediRN posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Has anyone had an interview that was less than 10 minutes long? She only asked me 3 questions. First, tell me about yourself. Then she asked which shift I prefer and wanted to know my salary requirements. She then thanked me for coming in. It was we...

9. Improving Hospital Nurse Staffing Is Associated with Fewer Deaths from Sepsis

   PPediRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Headlines

   They had to do a study to figure this out? Could have saved a lot of time & money by asking a couple of nurses. But what do we know other than how to count cards.

10. Transitioning out of Home Care Nursing

    PPediRN replied to brownm27's topic in General Nursing

    This is my pet peeve. A hospital who, in all likelihood, has a policy against giving out references EXPECTS you to provide a reference from your current or former employer before they will hire you. This is AFTER you pass a background check, drug scr...

11. Minimum Wage????

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Private Duty

    Good for you for walking away. Don’t ever agree to orient for free.

12. Minimum Wage????

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Private Duty

    So you were basically treated like a volunteer. That’s shameful. I would have walked away. But it SHOULD be unusual.

13. Minimum Wage????

    PPediRN posted a topic in Private Duty

    Orientation will be paid at MINIMUM WAGE??? Really? So this is what nursing has come down to. The abuse and disrespect of nurses continues. Um no thanks. I'm actually a professional not a high school drop out. Companies get away with this because nur...

    Thank you Nurse Gonzo! Hopefully we will both find something soon. ?

15. On-the-spot hiring event

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Job Hunt

    It was ok. Applicants were called into an interview room one at a time. There were 4 interviewers who asked behavioral questions. I got really nervous. No job offer for me ? So the job search ? continues Thanks for asking Nurse Gonzo!
