  1. School nursing for inexperienced RN?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in School

    I will definitely ask those questions at the interview next week. I really do want this job because I feel it would be the perfect fit for me. I've always been interested in Public health and...

  2. jobs for new grads

    ijuanabhappy replied to 2blessed2b's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm in Texas, so don't know anything about hospitals in Baltimore, but I'm having bad luck with hospitals in Texas too. Actually, I have applied to anything and everything and still no luck. Have...

  3. Need help making a decision.

    ijuanabhappy replied to bananamtz's topic in Texas Nursing

    Also, is health admin important for your long-term career goals? I'm not sure, but I am thinking with any BSN you will be able to get into admin-type positions. I don't think they look at your...

  4. Need help making a decision.

    ijuanabhappy replied to bananamtz's topic in Texas Nursing

    Is the Texas State nursing school campus in Round Rock? When I went to Texas State back when it was Southwest Texas, it was in San Marcos. What area do you live in? If it were me, I would say...

  5. Hopeless, depressed, jobless in Austin

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks. I will check out the hospitals in these areas. Do you think they would hire a relatively new grad (graduated May 2010), with some limited clinic experience? Here in Austin, I don't qualify...

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Unfortunately, unless they paid relocation costs, I just don't have the money to move. I would be willing to drive an hour south of Austin. Are you talking about San

  8. Which one is more stressful: med-surg or LTC

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just started a job at a LTC and do not want to go back. I'm an inexperienced RN and got hired on to do weekends only; two sixteen hour shifts back to back. I absolutely love the residents but this...

  9. Which one is more stressful: med-surg or LTC

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't get the med-surg position that I interviewed for yesterday. I'm so depressed now. I cannot go back to the LTC job. I love, love, love the residents but that place is not run properly and...

  10. DONE with interviews and indecision - it's depressing

    ijuanabhappy replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you are going through. I've been through the same ordeal. I'm depressed and highly anxious too and even doubt myself now. My confidence is shot. I feel like I have lost all of...

  11. New Grad Charge Nurse for Rehab to Home Unit

    ijuanabhappy replied to Keila's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Six weeks? At least that is a lot better than what I was offered. 3 days! I really need the job but think I should

  12. only a few months to decide...

    ijuanabhappy replied to kellyjo's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely go with the first option if it were me. A lot cheaper and lower stress equals better concentration on school. You can always do an online RN-BSN later and it only takes another...

  13. Think I will have to pass this up

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    As much as I am broke and desperately need a job, I think I am going to have to pass up the LTC charge nurse offer. Being a relatively new grad RN and inexperienced, I feel that after reading these...

  14. No hospital job after working LTC? True?

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have heard from many sources that once you start out and work in LTC or SNF as an RN, it is impossible to get a hospital job in the future. Not that working in the hospital is my almighty goal, but...

  15. Would this be too much for me to handle?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I thought about doing the same thing. That is good advice,

  16. Would this be too much for me to handle?

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to get a fresh start again with nursing. I graduated last year and basically just have clinic experience only, mainly phone triage. I'm currently out of work and looking. Everything that...

  17. Would this be too much for me to handle?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Well I was interviewing for a position that I probably am not qualified for, yet I think they liked me and wanted to give me an opportunity. They were looking for experienced staff nurses and don't...

  18. No hospital job after working LTC? True?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Catfish, I'm sorry to hear about your hospital experience. I graduated from school last year (RN), with no prior hands-on medical experience. I started out on a telemetry unit right after graduation...

    ijuanabhappy replied to Deetermined's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to be of much help, but wanted to say I totally understand where you are coming from. The same thing happened to me. I don't know what the answer is. I was being precepted in the...

  20. No hospital job after working LTC? True?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

  21. No hospital job after working LTC? True?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    ijuanabhappy replied to NIGHTINGALE-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Which job do you think you would enjoy more? Is it the same type of work, same kind of floor? If both jobs are the same, I think I might stay put since you enjoy working with your co-workers and...
