    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't know, I tried calling 3 more times this week. I left a message twice and still nothing. I even talked to HR once and she said I have to talk to the lady I interviewed with. It seems like she...

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Nursing Career

    Update: I called the place back where I supposedly have a job. She was in a meeting, so I left a message, still have'nt heard from her. I wonder what the deal is? Either something turned up bad in my...

  5. Discouraged

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Nursing Career

    Yeah, I should have asked that last week, but she sounded like I was bugging her and she just said they were working on it. I'll call back Monday and check in. I'm not sure what exactly to say, maybe...

  8. deferments

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean. I think my best option is to consolidate, but the gov. won't put my private loan into it and thats the one that has higher interest, though it is'nt for a large amount. Whats a...

    Medsport replied to LPN4hire's topic in Men in Nursing

  13. having trouble getting an lpn job

    Medsport replied to LPN4hire's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm starting to feel the same way. I was under the impression it would be fairly easy to get an LPN job in a hospital FT with tuition reimbursement. All I'm finding is PT and nursing homes hiring. I...

  19. Got an offer!

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

    I forgot to mention that I would be responsible for about 40 patients, with half of them with some degree of Alzheimer's. I don't know if thats normal for a nursing home or not, but it seems like a...

  20. Got an offer!

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

    Actually I'm an LPN. The pay is'nt that bad there. Its just that my school loans and cc bills are gonna make it difficult. She did say you can usually pick up hours and get a bonus for coming in on...

  21. Thank You letter?

    Medsport posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Is it a good idea to send a thank you letter for an interview? I think I had a decent interview last week. Although its only part-time and working at a jail, it would probably be good experience. She...

    Medsport replied to 2bnpcout's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, glad there is another one out there. I'm also a bodybuilder. I have been lifting for about 18 years. I don't think I have the genetics to go pro, without help (which I have never done). I've...
