RN BSN 2009

Find another job, go back to school to get your RN and find a job in which you are not stuck in nursing homes with those horrendous ratios! If those other nurses were permitted to make mistakes and you were slapped on the hand, then I have no doubt i...

is it general medsurg peds or a peds specialty?

What type of behaviors have been going on that leads you to believe that they are being bigots?

New grad as a pool nurse? something doesn't smell right

The fundamentals book is wickedly huge... Our school never counted the ATI as a part of you grade, it was a pass/fail. But you were to bring your scores to your advisor and make a plan of action on areas of weaknesses.

What hospitals have you applied to? Where do you live?

Which hospital in the DMC system are you trying to get into? Receiving and Childrens have magnet status..... At Receiving, it's practically impossible to get a recruiter on the phone... and don't really know where the office is.

How long was your orientation? Who oriented you? Obviously you cannot be the most senior nurse there.....

It's a really nice skill to have, but understand you won't get paid any better than anyone else, unless the position explicitly states they are looking for someone bilingual only.

lol... I'm trilingual and can't even score a regular staff position.

I graduated in May, got my license in July and have been applying, going to job fairs, and calling recruiters since then. No luck.

Hey all So today I interviewed with a recruiter and NM for a ICU Step-Down unit. I'd really like this position.. all the staff are very friendly and happy to be at work. There is a lot of room for growth & advancement. However, they do have mo...

Not hired = No repercussions if I get injured helping with something.

Thanks for your response - on day shift it didnt seem to bad... I've prepared a bunch of questions... I'm not allowed to be involved in any patient care, because I'm not an employee there.
