Ok, I took a job as a RN "in transition" basically a CNA with learning activities like NG tubes, foleys, ivs, etc...basic skills until my employer finds a job for me. I graduated in May and its safe to say that I've lost most of my "nursing" mind. L...

Congrats!!!!! The journey is over yet just beginning!!!

I dont think its bad lol, but before noon ppl arent as busy and you have better chances of getting the nurse recruiter etc. But then again, why not take a chance, u could miss out on an opportunity by not calling.

Just wanted to add my story of inspiration... Over the weekend I decided that since Im not happy at my current job working as a nurse for a home health agency (with no actual nursing cares given, ie skilled nursing) I'm gonna commit myself totally to...

It wouldn't hurt to call the DON on Friday, but also it sounds like you have covered all bases! Good Luck. I hope you get it!

I honestly have my days where I feel depressed and defeated also. Some tips I have would be play with your children, spend time doing mindless things, and most importantly pray! I surf the Internet or YouTube for a good laugh, play with my dog, and ...
