Greetings.
I was one of the nurses who got hired from Mollen to get work in the Bay area.
The one day we were supposed to sign in online and check our schedule, was the day Mollen had massive issues
with their site. What happened?? Most of us didn't get scheduled and I was informed that those nurses who didn't stay off line when they were asked to keep off line while they were working on their site snatched and grabbed all the opportunities in the Bay area.
To this day, I graduated from nursing school in 2008 and still have no job (nothing new on this website). And I really wanted to put something on my resume along with getting a little bit of work.
Please if you have some kindness and were one of the nurses that can share your schedule please share the load.
Thank you,
Piscesmama

I ran into the same problem, and I was under the impression that we would be contacted when the site was up and running. I was never contacted regarding that, but I was contacted asking to come into one of the sites because someone called in sick. I was like what the heck????????? I never bothered to go back because they were very disorganized, and like you, I'm still jobless as a nurse and it's very frustrating. What's scary is that I've been out of school since April and can't find a job. You have been out of school almost a year now and that's very scary. Nursing is constantly evolving, and we will be considered out dated.

Whoa!! "Snatched" and "grabbed", those are some harsh, accusatory words. The people that were able to get their shifts just took what Mollen said was available. Wouldn't most people have done the same if they saw available shifts in their area? Don't blame the nurses that are trying to get work. This frustration should be aimed at Mollen. They overhired nurses and had a lousy scheduling process. Also, if you are asking for people to kindly give up their shifts, I don't think accusing them of being grabby and cirumventing the scheduling process is the way to go.
