  1. What would you do?

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have two more interviews next week. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for this one though. I have a second hurdle to cross, however. Even if they give me an offer, I need it to match what I...

  2. What would you do?

    nursalicious posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had a job interview that went very well on Monday. The nurse manager went as far as to tell me the job is mine if I want it and the nurse recruiter will be in contact with me to discuss pay and...

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    True. Been there and done that. One would think this process would be faster since their staff is quite short-handed at

  4. What would you do?

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah, I thought about an email, but I didn't get her email address. This is a 46-bed community hospital. I'm wondering if she even has business cards...? She barely has an office. I have a good...

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, but I did. It was in the mail about an hour after the interview.

    nursalicious posted a topic in General Nursing

  10. Any advice for a nurse in limbo?

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    ;)If I found something that had suitable hours for me and I really liked the job, then yes, I would leave my current job completely. My hours now are M-F 0730-1600, so I would pretty much have to...

    Orthonurse55: HR called me today to extend an offer for the rad nurse job, but I was unable to answer my cell. By the time I was able to get back to her, she was gone for the day. I think I will...

  12. Any advice for a nurse in limbo?

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the suggestion. "Mind numbing" and "soul killing" are eerily accurate descriptions of what I'm feeling. My current job is definitely not making me feel

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    I genuinely sympathize with the struggles many nurses on this board are enduring. I feel blessed that I have never had to go through needing a job and being unable to attain employment; however, the...

  15. Are these holidays off the norm?

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    My job in the ICU was very much like this...and if I was off on a holiday, I had eleventy billion people asking me if I would switch with them, work half the day for them, etc. (Not that I didn't...

  19. Are these holidays off the norm?

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, heck no. I wouldn't have changed my mind about the job. I just meant it would've made more sense if I had asked people about what holidays they have off prior to taking the job. It was an...

  21. Are these holidays off the norm?

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't want to sound like a brat in my original post, but I was surprised about Memorial Day not being included as an observed holiday as well. And I'll go ahead and be honest further, I'm a little...

  22. Are these holidays off the norm?

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. This is really helpful. I was just thinking, maybe I should've asked someone in-the-know about this before I accepted the job offer. I'm pretty happy, because this is the first time in my...

    nursalicious replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, Roser. I should've been more specific...a 64-slice CT scanner.

    I recently got a job offer at a busy cardiology clinic to be their CT nurse for the 64-slice. The manager said they are closed holidays, but since I have never worked in a clinic, I am not aware of...
