  1. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sigh, it should be balanced, and those interviewing should strive hard to use objective standards of evaluation--as much as is possible. Likeability can vary and is capricious. Obvious problematic...

  2. How to promote tolerance and support teamwork,

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Re: my previous post--posted after 3am on my Ipad. Um, should read higher up, not hirer up. Sorry

  3. Too much emphasis on "caring"

    Guest343211 replied to sweet~revenge's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the person that said nursing is an art and a science. It should NEVER be about being either/or. If the caring component isn't there, all the science and evidence-based practice in the...

  4. How to promote tolerance and support teamwork,

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is precisely why leadership, ON ALL LEVELS, is absolutely imperative! You don't really know how the hirer up ethos works, or lack thereof, until you are thrown into a bully sort of situation--...

  5. How to promote tolerance and support teamwork,

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Isn't amazing how it may only take a few people to cause a whirlwind of trouble?The bully thing often becomes a cycle of violence, until it becomes part of the unspoken culture. I have seen this at...

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    LOL OK, I say that good candidates need a sense of humor, like many of the nurses here! Cheers you

    ROTFLOL.... Yea, well, I never put stripPER on my resume. LOL Thanks for catching that Ruby!

  8. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I thought they did this. I know in my first program, now quite some time ago, they did. Seems strange. About the nails. There was this war on it in the hospitals in the mid 90's--nurses defended...

  9. Well just the other day I posted careeer suicide......

    Guest343211 replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

    To me that sucks even more. What exactly did they say to guide you? Can you ask for solid

  10. What Kind of Patients Do You LIKE Most?

    Guest343211 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ^This! I expect all kinds of people and situations--especially after 20 years in the field--and b/c pts are in vulnerable positions, which if you have ever been a patient with a serious illness, you...

  11. Well just the other day I posted careeer suicide......

    Guest343211 replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

    OK, my question is this. What objective measures did they use in order to make this evaluation? What progressive steps were taken early enough in the process to build you in the areas that were a...

  12. Well just the other day I posted careeer suicide......

    Guest343211 replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

    OK, but wow: "In Massachusetts, the first question on the license renewal form is: Have you paid all your state taxes. The second is: have you received the required number of CEUs (I'm paraphrasing)."...

  13. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, that's certainly not what I've been saying. I don't know how long you have been in nursing, but I've been in the field for a long time. I surely acknowledge the game. And here's where the word...

  14. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow. I am so glad you mentioned this. I HAVE SEEN THIS at certain institutions. They cycle through new grads and even experienced nurses like underwear. Now, this is a huge (nation-wide) hospital...

  15. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I guess you have to look at each individual separately. Nurses in general are notorious for moving around. In fact, in today's economy, they tell you not to expect to be at the same position or...

  16. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I totally agree with this. You know I have heard a new nurse grad say, in a condescending way, "I am not there to wipe butts, that's what the aids are for." OK, maybe it's b/c mostly I have been an...

  17. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    ^Sadly I believe this to be totally true. How to fix such a thing? That's a whole separate thread on how to promote tolerance, support, teamwork, and coalition-building. I have asked about unit...

  18. does anyone regret this career?

    Guest343211 replied to cantdoit's topic in General Nursing

    YUP. Major denial. No worries though, b/c advancing nurse's education will solve everything. (eyeroll) I am for education, but the overriding mentalities are missing the priorities in the bigger...

  19. does anyone regret this career?

    Guest343211 replied to cantdoit's topic in General Nursing

    I regret the inside abuse, and the fact that too many don't want to face or discuss it. How can it possibly be dealt with unless people face it. Seems like it has to be an "in-your-face" and overt...

  20. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    Guest343211 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't really believe this is something that is anyway near prevalent. There are too many hoops and too much processing. And I mean, who gets a nursing position w/o going through HR? I mean its...

  21. New Grad applicant walked on a unit today...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, it isn't a hard, set law. People and situations are indeed complicated. But so many times it is true. What nursing as a whole needs to do is show not only patients and the "select people"...

  22. New Grad applicant walked on a unit today...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Here's another way that the mger might look at it. A candidate for a management roll is interviewing. One of the interviewers asks her how she would handle the scenario OP presents. In order to...

  23. New Grad applicant walked on a unit today...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Again, we acknowledge that she may have been involved in something quite important. Again, unless the house is on fire, it takes as much time to be briefly polite as it does to be

  24. New Grad applicant walked on a unit today...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Absolutely true. Only further interactions with the NM would tell if this is indeed how she operates. I take special notice of your Maya Angelou quote! Quite true!

  25. New Grad applicant walked on a unit today...

    Guest343211 replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sigh, again, read what some of us are saying. Her approach was a little misguided. We acknowledged that. But there is more than one perspective on this. It's not an either or thing. It has to do...
