    Corrective Action or Bullying???

    netglow replied to qaqueen's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Eh. I'd go ahead and send a few resumes out there. See what your net brings in. I think that interviewing can be a morale booster in that you are being proactive in trying to remedy your situation -...

    Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    netglow replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    "My question to the older workers who are new grads is why do you feel like you deserve jobs over the younger new grads? " It's not about deserving anything. It's only about ability and skills. You...

    interview weakness

    netglow replied to sistasoul's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My advice is to look at your interview in a different way. Who cares what your weaknesses are! It's not about that. Here is what ya do. Think. What does a primary care doc need in an RN to help him...

    New Nursing Career: 90 days - UM suggests I voluntarily resign

    netglow replied to RNmichaelJ's topic in First Year After Licensure

    IDK. Sounds like a set-up. Seriously. Either they are a crappy hospital with all marketing-talk and no real action "Heart Center" (bal-o-ney) which is common, or you were set-up. The CE there to...

    Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    netglow replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, I don't necessarily smell troll. Just total frustration. How many RNs including the one the OP knows well are totally unaware of what's happened to nursing. A Lot. Those nurses encourage their...

    need input related to summer job..help?

    netglow replied to pedsbee's topic in General Nursing

    You are right Chrisrn24. So right that something outside of nursing might be VERY SMART. After all, only about half of RNs ever work as RNs. So many unemployed. It's best really, to find something...

    Fired!

    netglow replied to LandD_RN_chica's topic in General Nursing

    Be very honest. I might say something (if asked) like, "They are going through some change right now, and I think that maybe it was not the best time to bring me onboard." If they go on and say,...

    need input related to summer job..help?

    netglow replied to pedsbee's topic in General Nursing

    Well, without RN supervision you would not be doing any nursing tasks. Also, remember due to the fear of lawsuits (in many of what used to be summer jobs or sort of internships for nursing students...

    netglow replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    "I have one last question is it harder to find a job as an rn than another profession?" Yes, yes it has been since the last half of 2007. You must remember, a nursing degree is only good for a nursing...

    What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    netglow replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just met a solidly experienced nurse who had been laid-off and couldn't catch an interview for over a year. Just got a job, albeit no where near what was had before. Now the spouse who is a nurse just...

    Am I nuts to want a PRN SNF job?

    netglow replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty sure you are overqualified. Nobody seems to care if you want the job and that the employer would really benefit from having you!! People these days don't seem to consider that. Every once in a...

    What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    netglow replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Anything "healthcare" is a hot career change for many years now. I've met dental people who are 2nds in engineering, biochem, business, just about anything. Actually Hygiene has a huge glut as well...

    I feel like giving up.

    netglow replied to Jannie92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IF you have a town nearby that has a large library, go online and browse if they have chem textbooks. If so, go to the library and spend a few minutes. Look up something you just don't understand and...

    What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    netglow replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    In reading the posts about the NP bubble bursting - I agree it's already happening. I've seen more than a few listings on Craigs no less of NP students desperate for a hook up for school. I also wrote...

    netglow replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of you are missing the point of this thread, and, in that, you are doing just exactly what PMFB-RN has described. Esme also wrote an excellent comment and the both are 100 percent...

    Where do I list pre reqs on a resume?

    netglow replied to lolads85's topic in Nursing Career

    It all depends on your area. Take a look on craigslist. In my area, many offices will look for staff on craigslist, or local community paper online want ads (some of which autopost to monster.com...

    Where do I list pre reqs on a resume?

    netglow replied to lolads85's topic in Nursing Career

    On a resume itself, you would not list classes taken. Keep it just like your past resumes (I am assuming that you are second degree/career). You list your edu and your work experience. What I would...

    Getting another job after working 6wks at my first job... Lucky or doomed?

    netglow replied to TurtleLittle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow that is a tough call in this economy. I am guessing that those options of working derm/ICU or derm/LTC are what you are going to offer them? Don't really know how the ICU will feel about that. If...

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Reading Asystole RN's comment, about RN roles seeming to be expanding - expanding to doing what? I mean, really what to that is still RN and not APN? I have only "intuition" moments when I see a...

    Alzheimer's and dementia SNF interview
