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 - not talking internal transfer tho. I look at it thi...

"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 have to have something to offer an employer WML, I m...

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 run his/her practice? What are those things? Figure...

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 set-up and document inadequacies is telling. If you ha...

Funny, read something a little while back about drug testing all docs as 75% or something are now "employees" of some big hospital network or another now. OMG, Docs are gonna have to go through the same crap nurses do. *yippee* All I got to say is WE...

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 children to jump off the cliff too.

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 that you can keep doing after you graduate to give yo...

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, "explain", this is when you keep it tight, but brutally...

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 where one could expect real hands on involvement in ...

[COLOR=#474747]ECG: An Electrocardiogram Rhythms Interpretation Guide By iAnesthesia LLC I highly recommend this itunes app check it out. Live motion rhythms and edu.

"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 job and nothing else. So, your options are extre...

Re: the poster who commented that ...The Institute of X recommended Magnet... Dontcha know, that EVERYBODY does understand, that anything healthcare and esp. Hospital network-related that has the name of: The Institute of (____________) is totally m...

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 got canned. Different hospital employers. It's no...

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 while I hear of a nice little SNF/LTC but, of cour...

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 now. And it's a lot easier of a run than nursing, as...

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 see if one of those texts has "a way" of explainin...

That would mean pretty much anyone say to around 70 or so. Heh! :) computers have run the professional workplace for many decades.

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 a comment somewhere on this board about a system ...

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 correct. If you have loads of money, have no need to be...

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 after a day or so). It's kind of tradition to do it on...

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 add for your purpose is a very condensed bulleted se...

GT?! I know diploma programs are rare but ADN programs are more than plentiful!

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 you are lucky they will require you to go to class...

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 hospital system to the south of me wanting RNs with 5+...

[h=2]Saw an ad for urgent care wanting to hire MAs. They want you to be able to provide compassionate nursing care, assessing patients & taking effective action. They also want you to be able to triage critically ill patients and prioritize patie...
