Rn open house question

Nurses Job Hunt

Specializes in this and that.

I want to go to an open house for as case manager for insurance company that begins with an A and was wondering if it would be ethical to go and spend one hour and a half to get there one way ( I had previously applied for this case managment position ...interviewed and turned down ). This all happened in January of this year ( and it is now 4 months ) ....The lady who intereviewed me was a fairly new grad SOCIAL WORKER ....

I would like to go there to the open house but dont want to embarass myself if they see me going there after being turned down for a case management position not too long ago...

Thanks for your feedback....I appreciate any help and advice....

I would say go for it unless they have some kind of rule that you wait a specified amount of time before reapplying. This economy is crazy and if you have another shot at the job you want, I say take it. Getting a job is sometimes all about timing and luck. If they are looking for specific requirements or experience that you didn't have at the time and still don't have, then it would probably be a waste of time otherwise good luck.

I have the skills and experience ( x18.5 years as an RN in my town x 27 years internationally UK and Asia) but your right...it depends on timing and luck.....I plan on going even it would could cost an arm and a leg on parking...train ride ....etc....I wish i can crawl underneath a rock...I am so tired of my once a week PER DIEM RN work as a contract RN with Occupational Health....Have been looking and interviewing for FULL TIME WORK x one year and 4 months and the offers are very painful

1. Home Health RN with driver for 10 dollars/ hour orientation for x 2 weeks AND 25 dollars/hr after two weeks with OASIS notes and visits due on the same day.....In our state the starting salary is $27/hr......I told the interviewer who looks like a 30 year old college grad ( 25 is too low...does that mean I am only worth one dollar for each year i worked in my 19 years as an RN )????? This home health agency was awared 2 million by Medicare after 3 years...aint that something...Guess I am just chopped liver in their eyes...

2. Would any older and experienced RN here volunteer to work for 10 bucks an hour on orientation and jeopardize my money in my other agency job? I walked out that interview and did not complete the application...thats just me....I have respect for myself then bending over and doing that kind of job offer for peanut salary...

Thanks for listening...

Go to the open house. You may be interviewed by someone else and that makes all the difference in the world.
