Thank you for the feedback. I've been needing some outside input. Most of my good friends (even nursing friends) are other service industry types so I value the fresh perspective. Thank you!

Hi folx! Newish BSN- prepared RN here! Trying to land my first hospital gig. I have a little over a year of experience at a SNF and I feel like I've become a fairly competent RN. I haven't been making it past the first round of the interview process and I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong... I have a fairly long history working as a bartender at a (locally) fairly well-known gay nightclub. I have been trying to play this up in interviews and on my resumé because I feel like it gave me a lot of good experience that translates well to soft skills of nursing. Should I tone it down? I'm worried that I may be giving the wrong impression to hiring managers. Any advice on the subject would be appreciated. Thank you!
