I'm really sorry, I really don't want to sound negative, but I don't recommend going into nursing school at your age because nursing profession is very physically and emotionally demanding. I am 30 this year, but before this I worked briefly in an ac...

I agree with the advice above. It's really challenging to explain why you want to make a switch without sounding negative about the previous specialty. If I were the interviewer, I would have thought that you were passionate in psych, and the switch ...

This has been bothering me so much. I once interviewed with private duty agency, and when I asked for certain salary that I think is reasonable for a nurse with 18 months experience. She counter-offered me with much lower salary, saying that I don't ...

I appreciate that you're offering perspective from the employers' part. However, I do believe that employers should give what's fair for the employees. When I work, I do work hard. I didn't sit and gossip with other coworkers when I work. I focus on ...

wow, that's an eye opener. Thank you!

what if the interviewer said she would notify all candidates her decision by end of the day. But then still haven't heard anything until the next day.. Should I call to follow up?

update: I did what you said. I emailed the principal and on the very same day, her assistant called to schedule an interview with me. So this morning I met the principal for less than 30 minutes and she said she's still interviewing the other 4 candi...

Hello every wonderful nurses, I need help! I had an interview on June 5th with the nurse supervisor/coordinator for a school nursing position. It seemed to go well. But she told me it's just a pre-screening interview then she will send out my answer...

congrats for the job! the job involves lots of lifting, transferring.. it's just very physically demanding. Nursing skills involved: foley catheter, drawing blood, starting IV, transfusing blood, NG-tube, PEG tube, wound care and trach. It depends o...

I agree that nursing doesn't have to be calling. I've worked with many wonderful nurses before, and I'm not exaggerating, 8 out of 10 didn't like their jobs. They clearly told me that they're there for paycheck and they didn't want to be nurses if th...

this is really sad, actually. Some countries, like Japan and Singapore, really value teachers and the pay is really high. I wonder why teachers are not valued well here. I mean come on, they have important roles for the future generation. I prefer t...

that's true.. my friend also left teaching job after 5 years.. before she quit, she kept telling me that she burned out and she wanted to quit.. I thought it was just a talk on the weekends, and she really quit for good without securing another job. ...

love being a nurse, but hate the job if it makes sense(?) If I could do it over, I would love to be a teacher... but now I feel too late with all the money and time I invested for nursing school.. plus grass always looks greener... If the Lord made ...

started in psych for 9 months, then moved to acute rehab with a mindset that I'll do rehab for at least a year then would go for med surg. Unfortunately only lasted 8 months in an acute rehab hospital.. the past 8 months is an eye opener that I'm not...

at the school website, they didn't specifically mention the name of the schools. they just put multiple locations. Thank you for responding my message, and for giving me a valuable suggestion.
