  1. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    The clinic I am looking into for the long run is one of these clinics that pays hospital rate and is Mon-Fri 8-4 no weekends or holidays. My manager states he will interview me when a position opens...

  2. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting to learn I very much thrive in a more structured week. I think I am struggling so much because swapping shifts is really a struggle for me. I honestly don't know if I would have become a...

  3. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I have applied to three vaccine centres throughout the year and never got in. I was told they wanted more experience. All my peers with over two years seemed to get offers and under two...

  4. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I actually did apply for a clinic that involves GI procedures. ? I would accept that role if I get an offer. Surgery/PACU/OR is something else I am considering longer-term due to hospital pay and...

  5. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your honesty! I do realize that I definitely may not be hired in a timely manner that my manager had been hinting. I do think I may eventually get the job if I really wanted it since I...

  6. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree I need to move on 100%. I thought things through and decided that I will accept the third interview position if offered and would also accept a fourth interview clinic position ($2 less an...

  7. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    After thinking things over a few days, I am really glad that I rejected the first two positions. The third I will accept if I am offered and a fourth clinic position I interviewed for (less pay but...

  8. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for your kindness. ? I did have another interview the other day and even though the money is less than I am making at the hospital, I have decided to accept either the third position...

  9. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! If I am being honest I never want to do psych and it would be one of my bottom choices. I actually got into nursing because many of my family members struggled with mental health issues...

  10. Do hiring managers ever re-interview candidates?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, the career portal doesn't actually show as declined until months later, even when the job is full or not posted anymore. I think it's because they don't want to decline people too...

  11. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, you raised some good points. I know it shouldn't happen but I see a lot of unpaid hours at a hospital setting (people working through breaks constantly and aren't paid, if people stay...

  12. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your honesty. It is a bit tricky since I am in the running for a clinic position M-F 8-5 WITH hospital pay but it isn't for another 10 months (manager told me this when I expressed...

  13. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly believe you are 100% right. I have seen a huge shift away from acute hospital medicine since the second wave of COVID. My other job, at a hospice, which I used to rely on to ease the mental...

  14. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Davey Do. From a financial standpoint, I am actually okay, I am still pretty young and living with my family. It's more from a mental and physical health standpoint that I want to leave so...

  15. Do hiring managers ever re-interview candidates?

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, that is good to know! I don't actually have any direct contact with the manager, the recruiter/screener set everything up even the interview. I am hopeful if they do decide to go with...

  16. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just wanting to know people with more life experiences take on my situation. I work on a busy general medicine floor and absolutely have come to hate my job. I have managed to tough the job out for...

  17. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I am 100% interested in the position my manager offered with those stipulations, the only concern is the 6-10 month wait period. I have applied to other chemo/cancer clinics nearby with 8-hour day...

  18. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    So, I think school nurses are a lot more common in the States than in my country. I actually did do a search and apparently, there are no school nurse positions within 150km from my house. I also...

  19. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    My second job is definitely the easier of the two. I am the only RN at my other job assisted by two PSW staff for a maximum of 6 patients. It is palliative care so no IVs but there are CADD pumps and...

  20. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely think I need more routine. Since I have two jobs, one of which is strictly nights, I jump around times frequently. I tend to either oversleep or undersleep frequently and eat at...

  21. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    My other job is strictly 8 hour nights, which means I work either a ton of nights or flip back and forth frequently. I'm trying to do 36-48 hours a week on average with ideally 40 hours a week. I have...

  22. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly had my other job as well since it is a much lighter workload and 8hour shifts. It is also in the area of focus for my masters if I did decide to go through with being a nurse practitioner...

  23. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I don't necessarily want to quit nursing as a whole, especially since I took a year off after high school so I could graduate from this degree loan free. ? I'm finding that there are a ton of...

  24. Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    Aliceozwalker replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I'm definitely leaning towards a clinic attached to the hospital. The hours at those clinics are Monday to Friday, 8-5 or so. Definitely better for the work-life balance and you get hospital

  25. Not Sure What Direction To Go From Here...

    Hi everyone! I'm the original writer, thank you so much for all of your wonderful responses. I actually have found something that may work for me so wanted to share it with everyone as it seems like a...
