BUMPed

It just confuses me because I talked to one of the reviewers on Friday and she said she wanted to make sure they had everything they needed before she let me go, she came back on the phone and said "everything looks great"..."we will be reviewing on monday".

Anyone???

A medical explorer is a group of kids age 14-21(?) that are interested in the medical field and they can explore the different roles and types of medicine that they might be interested in. A medical explorer group leader is responsible for setting up appointments with the hospitals and clinics for explorers to go to, collect dues, set up meetings, conduct meetings, go to a required amount of rounds per month, etc. The first year I was a Medical Explorer and the second year I applied to be a Group Leader and was accepted...there were four total group leaders I believe along with the director of nursing and guest speakers every so often.

So I just received a phone called from Human Resources telling me that they reviewed the request for rehire submissions today but they needed some more information from me first. The lady was very polite and nice on the phone, she said that the last time it showed I have worked any where was in 2004 and they wanted to know what I have been doing since then. I said my daughter was born August 2004 and then my son was born August 2006 so I have been a stay at home mom. She said she would relay the information to the reviewers and when they review in two more weeks they will go over it again. So what do you think, good or bad news? Do you think that if my submission was bad that they would not even have asked that question or do you think it matters? I am hoping and praying!!! :bowingpur

There is a long time care facility/nursing home down the street from where I live. I am thinking about going to apply there but my CNA is inactive, would like to work so it does not expire. Also, I have been a stay at home mom since my oldest was born and am worried what prospective employers might think of me. My question is would it hurt to call the hiring nurse manager and tell them my situation and if he/she would even be the slightest interested in hiring me or if I should just go apply and hope for the best?:bowingpur

I do not think I am on any kind of list like that but I am not really sure. There is a company called Nursefinders and I go back for work there occassionally, but there is no guaranteed hours. Some of the shifts I get though are through this hospital and have gotten great reviews from a lot of the nurse managers and such but that has been a while ago.

What is a blackball list?

I actually have applied there but got no response. I even went in to human resources and asked to speak with someone, they let me do just that but still nothing. Where I am from nursing is a very competitive field, no matter what.

I am sorry if I "sound" immature, and I am sorry if I sound like I should have done more research. I "thought" I had done enough, I had posts on another website, I asked family, one of my friends is a doctor and I asked him, etc. I was just trying to convey how much it really means to me to be back on the staff and to hear most of the opinions that I am hearing about either you would not hire me or I should have been more short and sweet is truthfully depressing to hear. Yes, that is what I put the post here for and I "honestly" do appreciate your opinions, but I feel like most of you think it does not mean anything to me and that I still act like a child. My career was everything to me until I met my husband and then we had children and now I am trying to catch my life back up to get back on track to where I was before. I miss it terribly and it is sad that it seems to be withering away so easily, so easily that I do feel like I am going to the extreme sometimes to get back there and I just do not know what else to do.

It is a big hospital but then again it is not a metro city or anything. It is located in Missouri. There are two main hospitals in my area, Springfield, MO area, and these two are the biggest. This hospital I worked for I have been associated with since I was in high school. I was in medical explorers, then was a group leader of the medical explorers, then received a schloarship from the hospital for college, then they put me through school to get my cna, and then i got a job there...finished about two years after my contract and was let go after what happened. I have always had a connection with the hospital but can never tell what kind of decision will be made and it has me ubberly nervous.

I have already sent off my statement... any advice on why they would not hire me? I will be so upset.

I posted this on another website and am getting no's and I am really desparate. I already sent off my statement and would be devastated if they it came back denied. Any opinions or help please? Hello :) Here is my dilemma, my husband is working two jobs, we have two children, and I am ready to go back to work. I would like to apply at a hospital that I previously worked at before but was discharged from involuntarily. I sent an application and received a rehire review request form in the mail. One of the questions is "Please provide a statement supporting your request for rehire:" Here is what happened. I worked there about six plus years ago and I had the best job in the world working in pediatrics, I LOVE kids. I thought I was in love and had been going through a bad time in the relationship that I was in, my boyfriend cheated on me and then moved to Florida but he still gave me his phone number, and I was calling him on a calling card from work while I was finishing up my charting. I was warned but did not listen and made the stupidest mistake and was let go. I have regret this decision ever since and now I have an opportunity to hopefully get on at the company. Here is my statement, would you hire me back? "To have wisdom is a gift. To have that same wisdom and help others is truly a blessing. I took that for granted and gave up way too easily many years ago. From the time I became a [co.] Medical Explorer all the way through earning my Certified Nursing Assistant status has been a true privelage. I have made many mistakes since that time, but I have also learned from my mistakes and would love the opportunity to show how I can be a great asset to [co.] and a great help to all the patients that I will encounter in my future. I am now married with two children and more so now than ever understand what responsibility means and just how important life is. I also understand that life is not easy nor fair for anyone and to appreciate each gift that is given to me. The smile on those faces and knowing I will be one of those that helped make everything better will be worth it. I would give anything to have that world back in my life."

I am in Missouri... Congrats on getting into Nursing School, that's awesome!!!

Hi there! Maybe you all have heard this same story before but for me I need some clarity on what I should do, sorry. I am a stay at home mother of two, my daughter will be four next month and my son will be two next month. My husband works two jobs so we can afford our bill to say the least. I am hoping to go back to work somehow as a CNA but I have been thinking about it and would love to move up a level and just get that much more satisfaction out of helping. Do you think I should wait or go ahead and apply to nursing schools? I am a little worried because the nursing schools in my area say that you need to complete at least 60% of general education course work at their school, not only am I already a CNA but I have completed 30 hours of college course work because when I first left high school I had the hopes and dreams of being a pediatrician specializing in genetics. I do not see any hopes for that dream being I have a family now and trying to become a doctor takes a lot of work and dedication, more so than an RN I would assume but not sure (sorry if I offended anyone). Anyway, does anyone have any takes on this subject? :heartbeat
