    Medsport posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've had one of my worse days on the job today. You see last week I messed up and left the narc box unsecured for a couple minutes and another nurse found it. I work in a jail so security is really...

    Do many of you guys sport a beard this time of year? I'm thinking its okay for nursing if kept short, but probably not while looking for a job? I hate shaving as I have sensitive skin and usually...

    My interview was on a Friday and I actually called them back on a Tuesday of the next week. She called me back the next day and said they hired somebody else. I'm just thinking they lied to me, but I...

  23. Nobody wants to hire me?!

    Medsport replied to NurseAimee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, I've had 7 interviews and still no job. I'm starting to think there is either something in my background (such as being fired once), a bad reference, or maybe just bad interview skills as I'm...
