    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 3 years. Started out in LTC, moved onto Med/Surg, and then started travel nursing. My first Med/Surg job, the floor closed, and they didn't want to train me in any other...

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3's topic in General Nursing

    Can someone close this thread? It is too late, I have no money. Lol, people seem to think you can just get to work with no money, no internet, no gas, etc. Pretty soon I won't have any water either...

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3's topic in General Nursing

    My resume is not the problem, I made sure again, with 12 people after my last post. They don't know what the problem is either. I always ace the interview, but I don't have any money to get to one...

  4. RN can't find job, what gives?

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say one thing, because my internet is getting shut off on Monday. I hope that people who have jobs appreciate that they do, even though some days are hell, or it might not be the best...

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3's topic in General Nursing

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and thanks for letting me know that Travel nursing will ruin my resume. Recruiters keep telling me all these things about nursing, but they aren't even nurses. So I knew I would find the answer...

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3's topic in General Nursing

    There is no hospital that I have applied to that is willing to train me out of Med/Surg. It seems they are hiring New Grads (no offense), but Med/Surg was suppose to be the basics of all nursing....

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to hopefulnurse5's topic in Nevada Nursing

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to JHansen's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I do actually. I will also do what some nurses call CNA work, bed bath, feeding, bathroom, etc... There still has to be delegation, but my aids can't do everything. I believe in team

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to ARRR10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am sure they would hire you part-time. Most jobs specify if they are looking for part-time or full-time nurses. If you see a job you are interested in call them and

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I moved from the East to Arizona. I don't really like it. The nursing is so slow is the summer. I can't find anywhere that I want to live, though. It is annoying. I think I might try Washington

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to Ks mommy nurse's topic in California Nursing
