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 currently make. I think that's going to be the longs...
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 benefits. I realize this is a holiday week, but at w...

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 feeling about this, just impatient about getting out of...
No one answered/had any advice on my previous post yesterday, but I went for my interview and it went very well, office manager said she'll be calling me to come back and interview with the physicians. The job is an infusion nurse at a rheumatology ...
This thread may be moved, but I don't know where else to post it. Here goes... I am stuck. I will have been an RN for 10 years next month, having spent the first 7 years of my career in ICU, then a year and a half in cath lab and EP lab before movin...

;)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 leave. The hospital with the rad nurse job is a level ...

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 definitely delve into this a little deeper before I jus...

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 alive.

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 reason behind this post is not to moan and groan ab...
My new job (I start next week, yay!) offers 8 paid holidays off: - New Year's Day - July 4 - Labor Day - Thanksgiving Day - Friday after Thanksgiving - Christmas Day - 1 personal "floating holiday" to be used at my discretion - Birthday holiday to be...

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 understand, but stil...)

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 afterthought on my part.

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 disappointed Christmas Eve is not a paid holiday ...

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 career I get paid while having holidays off and I w...
...to sit for the CCRN exam? I worked 7 years in ICU and 1.5 years in another critical care area. My husband and I are reolcating and I just accepted a position in a large cardiology practice as their sole CT nurse for cardiac CTs. I will be pushing ...
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 which holidays clinics are usually closed.
