   Thanks for the advice again guys. Got some good updates: After relentless hours of applying within and out of my city, I got an interview today for a home health company, pay is $16/hr (FL), very flexible and I could start orientation as early as nex...

3. Lost and in need of advice

   MNbyte replied to MNbyte's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the input. Yes I did pass the NCLEX, somebody asked. I don't know about the teaching courses though cause they might be looking for someone with more and recent experience. Nurse informatics was brought up to me by someone but we both fou...

   MNbyte replied to MNbyte's topic in General Nursing

   I'll look into the refresher course. And yesI have my license and I've applied everywhere: home health, SNFs, units I've never even heard of, outside of my state (FL). I've barged into units like the boogeyman to speak to nurse educators and managers...

   MNbyte posted a topic in General Nursing

   Long story short I am a Dec 2013 ASN graduate who basically has no nursing experience. No experience and such a gap in time since graduating has made it really difficult to find a job. I've submitted MANY applications and feel as more time slips by...

9. Application question

   MNbyte replied to MNbyte's topic in General Nursing

   I've already exited the program. My question stems from whether I should include my time in Med Tele because if I do, there's a "Reason for Leaving" comment box where I put why I was laid off or asked to resign from said workplace.

10. Application question

    MNbyte replied to MNbyte's topic in General Nursing

11. Application question

    MNbyte replied to MNbyte's topic in General Nursing

    I've always been a horrible speller. For the longest time I wrote "per se" as "per say" lol . The application has Med Surg and Med Tele under one checkbox so unfortunately I can't make that distinction when choosing a unit. As for the snacks I almost...

    MNbyte replied to MNbyte's topic in General Nursing

    sorry forgot to mention that. the application has a checkbox list with pretty much generic unit names: PCU, ICU med surg, PEDs, mother-infant, etc. I have to choose my top 3. obviously i cant pick something like icu since im a noob so this is part 2...

13. Application question

    So long story short I got a job this past fall at a Med Telly unit. Everything was fantastic in the unit. The nurses, managers, patients (most of them), MDs and other staff. Once the amount of patients I had kept rising, I started getting into a habi...

    Quick background: I graduated this past December and took the NCLEX March. I've been waiting to get a hospital job. I finally got the call a couple of weeks ago and landed a job at a Med Telly unit for nights. It's been forever since I've delved into...
