New Job & Wedding this Summer
Our honeymoon is not booked yet & I have already brought it up to my fiance that we may not be going on one.. at least not right away! I feel bad because I know he would be able to easily get the time off but it's just a completely different story on my end. I have been applying to this hospital for well over a year and value this job so much! I have been told that we accumulate 8 hours of PTO per pay period, so I would have enough time saved up. I will just cross my fingers and hope for the best! Thank you for the replies!

New Job & Wedding this Summer
I am starting a new job next week. I had one interview and was given the job offer from HR. I am also getting married at the end of June.. This is not a far away destination wedding or anything but it would be nice to get the week off :) I have asked several people when & how I should bring this up to my new employer, and I have gotten mixed answers (anywhere from tell her asap through e-mail, to tell her when you start and see her, to it can wait a couple of months). I am leaning towards the sooner the better... So my question is: is it okay to e-mail my new manager about this now ...or is it overkill to ask 7 months in advance?

Has anyone grown to love nursing
I have said that I wanted to be nurse when I grow up since I was about 5 years old. Here I am after 2 years of acute care experience wishing I went to school for something else! lol ...I hope I grow to love it.. it sure would make like life easier. One thing I do like is that I have other options I just wish it wasn't so hard to break into a new field.

Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?
When I know I have to work that night I finding myself dreading it all day and not able to truly enjoy. Plus in order to make through the night without passing out during my shift I have to be home early and take a nap before going into work... but maybe its just me??

Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?
I used to work rotating day/night 12 hour shifts in southern California. When I moved back home to northern California working part time (3- 8 hour shifts per week) I thought I would be much happier. Now I find myself scrambling to find a job at a 12 hour shift hospital because I need the extra $$ and the thought of spending 5 days a week at my current job literally makes me sick !!

assessment with job application
I have been applying frequently to a very well known teaching hospital in my area. Along with the application, an assessment has to be filled out. I did my assessment over a year ago and it automatically attaches to each job i apply to. Every time I apply to a new position it seems like I get a "sorry not selected" email from them the very next morning. Do these assessments weed people out of the applicant pool automatically? I feel like my resume is not being seen by human eyes! I fit the qualification for these positions well and I am getting discouraged by this! I called HR to see if there was a way to improve my chances or have someone actually review my resume but all i got was a "sorry we get many applications, just keep trying" Just fyi during the assessment I know I answered very honestly as I felt like answering all of the questions as if I am a perfect person was unrealistic. I thought the honest approach was the correct way to go.. but now im thinking i was wrong!

Tele experience?
Hi everyone, I am applying to a float position and in the job qualifications section it says: BSN, ACLS, 2years Medsurg, 6 months tele. Does 6 months tele mean working with pts who are on telemetry monitoring, or are they looking for someone with CV floor experience? I have 1 year of medicine step-down experience and 1 year of surgical/ortho/neuro. I do float to CV occasionally but am not allowed to take patients on certain drips or post certain procedures. Thanks in advance for any replies :)

thanks guys! I never received a ranking e-mail. They called me to schedule the interview on July 26th. The manager said that she had a lot of applicants for about three positions and she had hoped to make a decision in the next 1-2 weeks. I would say to call HR and see whats up. They said from the beginning that those who were not chosen would get an e-mail saying so..
