  6. Sharp Hospital

    RedZeppelinRN replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Sharp is not the only hospital. SDSU, Alvarado, Scripps, Kaiser, Kindred. Rare to find a Caucasian nurse in nursing homes. There is a strong non-caucasian group that are deemed a "protected class"...

    RedZeppelinRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

  9. is it rude to ask nurse recruiter my chance of getting hired?

    RedZeppelinRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you live in CA, San Diego specifically, SDSU has a program for new grads. So if you are an experienced nurse, forget it. I also had a recruiter at another hospital tell me I would I would be...

    RedZeppelinRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just curious. In the past when I have posted resumes with UCSD, at the end of the application, it asks for the year you graduated as an RN. Is this a way to get around age

    RedZeppelinRN replied to RedZeppelinRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how they could make an approximate estimate if you have taken time out, raised kids, did not work in nursing for certain periods of time. It is just a curiousty. I really have no...

  16. Someone should warn people!!!

    RedZeppelinRN replied to floridanursemom239's topic in Florida Nursing

    I really think the company's are shooting themselves in the foot. I also feel they are taking advantage now because of the economy and probably pushing those nurses that are working now over the...

    RedZeppelinRN replied to floridanursemom239's topic in Florida Nursing

    Here in CA they are asking for BSN's for nursing homes(?) I am an RN and can't get a job because I don't have "1 year recent acute care experience." I am taking some courses to get into other than...

    RedZeppelinRN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    RedZeppelinRN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bless your heart. You expressed it better than I could. I swore up and down like you I would never go back to nursing. Now that I am a little bit saner, here I am again, probably not having learned...

    RedZeppelinRN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Excellent, excellent post! However, when I was fired, a "protected minority group" who refused requests to do certain duties listed in her job description, and was a member of a strong clique that...

    RedZeppelinRN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for your support. I had not thought of the antidiscrimination the lazy supervisor used to avoid the problem. Appreciate that insight. That is why I am going back to school to get a...
