    Maternity discrimination

    Hoosier_RN replied to Kmendi's topic in General Nursing

    You can try to apply, but if your pregnancy is obvious, you may not get the job. Employers will spend big $$ on your orientation, especially if you're a new grad. They may not want to have to...

    What do I say when the interviewer asks why I left my previous job?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you have your BSN, apply to hospitals or clinics as most require it. Unfortunately though I've been seeing that most new nurse both RN and LPN jobs are LTC. A great place to learn to think on...

    Should I look out of state for a job?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you are willing to pay for the license and meet requirements of a particular states licensure (basic education and CEUs), then you can have license to practice anywhere you wish. Just contact that...

    Is nursing too difficult for a mother with young children?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have to add to check your options in your area. Most 'office hours' jobs are awarded to those with experience. Day shift as well, in most cases. Many areas have done away with Baylor, but again,...

    Places/states where new nurse grad is not saturated?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Water Lilly's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Pay is relative though. What is cost of living to the area? What is unemployment rate to area? You have to look at those kinds of variables and not just end $

    Question about ASN pay for LTC and LTACH

    Hoosier_RN replied to dreamer30's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Depends on the area of the state. Where I am starts lower but cost of living lower than the big city and larger towns. My ltc pays better than hospitals locally with better

    LTC experience is worse than no experience? True/false?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Melody Pond's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    LTC is an excellent place to start. Sure, it's tough but you learn to think on your feet. Time management and delegation. And if you are already an LPN (your post is a bit ambiguous on that), most...

    Hoosier_RN replied to MaryAnnePaynter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hoosier_RN replied to MKIVSupraRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you tried anywhere other than the hospitals? Long term care or other high need type of nursing. In my area (south central Indiana), long term care would love new grad nurses (RNs and LPNs), but...

    Unable to find nursing position 4yrs post graduation

    Hoosier_RN replied to MaryAnnePaynter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm amazed at the amount of new grads, and nurses in general, who say that they can't find a job, willing to relocate, yada-yada-yada. I have multiple nurse openings where I work and not one...

    Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    Hoosier_RN replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    I only have FB due to craft sites. Other than that, I stay away from that stuff like the plague! If I want people to know my life, I will type up a statement, press "print" and post around work....
