  1. Can my new employer search my work history?

    Peachpit replied to Nurse Chef's topic in General Nursing

    Don't see how unless provide the information. Can't imagine anything on a background check would come up about a former employer either unless you used someone at the former place of employment as a...

  2. Can hospitals require you to do "extra" on-call shifts?

    Peachpit replied to Overtime Mom's topic in General Nursing

    There is a large hospital system near where I live. They required ALL nursing staff that is not PRN to pick up an on call shift - at least one 12 hr in addition to the regular schedule - some units...

  3. Age Discrimination in Nursing

    Peachpit replied to MNRN22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this happened to you and yes, it certainly sounds like ageism. HR can never be trusted in my opinion. They are corporate ALL the way - no matter how they spin it and their lack of...

  4. Miss being bedside

    Peachpit replied to rn_guy89's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I understand exactly what you are saying. I am in a very similar situation. I was working home health but the company, like many other home health agencies now, moved to a pay based on type of...

  5. Stalemate in My Career

    Peachpit replied to Nursingwithcompassion's topic in Nursing Career

    Several of the teachers I had in nursing school had never worked in a hospital setting and they were amazing nurses. Can't see where not working in a hospital, especially with having experience, would...

  6. Left the ICU after 1.5 yrs, where to next?

    Peachpit replied to bdemismi's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered free standing surgical centers or radiology centers? Most larger cities have them. That may be one way to get your foot in the door with the flavor of nursing your are wanting to...

  7. Does a suspended nursing license show up on a background check?

    Peachpit replied to anonformernurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If the job requires you to have an active nursing license then I would think the employer, if responsible, would do a license verification and check whether its active. HAve you looked up your own...

  8. Do I have to get my first nursing job in a hospital?

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

    No, but depending on your ultimate goal in nursing it may be

  9. Supervisors made fun of me behind my back

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

    So what? If the staffing is unsafe, complain and document who you complained to, when etc. And like Kooky Korky said - how do you know? And why not ask them directly about it? This isn't high...

  10. Quitting while on orientation

    Peachpit replied to MDelainy's topic in General Nursing

    I too have left during or shortly after an orientation period with an employer. Like you, the job/work environment was presented one way but ended up being vastly different. I would be concerned if I...

  12. Have you ever been "ghosted" by an employer after accepting a job offer?

  13. Have you ever been "ghosted" by an employer after accepting a job offer?

    Peachpit replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    Wanted to provide an update..I finally heard from HR late yesterday and the Director today..it seems the hold up is the background check company. They are, evidently, extremely slow and though my...

  14. Feeling abused, disrespected and unsupported

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

    I haven't worked in a hospital setting in several years but the OP concerns/complaints seem to be the norm now in a lot of hospitals for the new nurses. Upper leadership needs to really get a handle...

  15. Undecided and out of time

    Peachpit replied to mooshgigila's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As others have posted, if you are able to gain more education at this point, then do that. Like others have said, try not to worry about where you will work, child care, schedules, etc. As you already...

  16. Have you ever been "ghosted" by an employer after accepting a job offer?

    Peachpit replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    Someone else said almost the same thing to me yesterday. I have emailed the HR dept and the hiring manager and it's been almost 10 days. No response. At this point I have decided to just move

  18. Nurse for 5 years wants to quit

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

    I understand completely what the OP is saying..I have no advice other than find something else now before you spend years in a career that doesn't fit no matter what flavor you try. The time spent...

  19. What am I doing wrong in interviews?

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

    Even for seasoned nurses it's tough to interview these days..there are so many factors effecting an employer hiring someone now..its disheartening I know. I am actually in a similar situation as the...

  20. Have you ever been "ghosted" by an employer after accepting a job offer?

    Peachpit replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    Verbal then in writing 6 weeks ago with a tentative start date. I completed all the pre hire requirements weeks ago. I have been completely unsuccessful in getting HR to respond with updates nor the...

  21. Anxiety, depression and job hopping

    Peachpit replied to Peachpit's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am trying to move into a clinic based, M-F position so I will have more stability all the way around. Everyday remains a struggle and lately it has been especially difficult so many days I am...

  22. Why are you choosing to be sad?

    Peachpit replied to Shauna Hamby's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If only chronic depression and anxiety were a choice..while its great bubble baths, music, etc work to snap some out of the funk, there are many of us that aren't that lucky..and it's not a choice to...

  23. How do I get into mother baby?

    Peachpit replied to spaulson1's topic in Nursing Career

    Apply for every mother/baby position in your area (at the hospital you are at now and those in the surrounding areas) even if it may not be the shift you want (I.e. apply for day and night shift...

  24. Follow Up HR

    Peachpit replied to spence09's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you actually applied for a job? I am assuming you have since you said you shadowed. If you have applied for a job then reaching out to HR for an application status at this point would make sense....

  25. Has anyone gone through the Kaiser background check?

    Peachpit replied to cbcle's topic in Telephone Triage

    I know this thread is old but I thought I would throw my 2 cents in as I am in the process of pre employment with Kaiser..it has been almost 4 weeks now and my background is still not complete. I have...
