My anger

[antesignani]

ive sat sat here and watched almost half of my classmates get a good job in either ICU or ED. I am a 2 time iraq veteran medic with ATLEAST trauma II and ICU experience, as well as the nursing school bells and whistles. i have applied for pretty much every ER and ICU position around the D/FW metroplex, and nothing. i actually got 2 interviews at parkland, the number one trauma center in dallas, but i apparently i screwed it up.

i cant understand why i dont have a job but my classmates have jobs with no prior medical experience besides nursing school.

jealous? damn right.

angry? youre **** right.

what am i doing wrong. 100+ jobs applied

So glad you got the job! Show them how us vets do it! Some places really do appreciate a vet! I got hired in a CCT company BECAUSE of my vet status...they knew that what I lacked in skill I had mountains of when it came to "playing it cool" during a stressful situation and being able to think under pressure!

And for those with "white" names...apply to very ethnic places! The whole "culturally balance out the work place" works both ways!
