I work as a psych nurse on the day shift. Our facility provides PRN meds (most of the time they are given to patients) to help patients sleep during the night in order for them to be awake during the day so they can attend groups. If not, patients wi...

I enjoy seeing the true person after they have been stabilized with medications. They arrive psychotic and leave totally different, stable.

Does everyone get an interview before a decision is made?

You don't get fired over little things but my point is that there isn't a union to protect you from getting fired. As for health plans, every employer offers different plans. Some are better then others. If you go to an interview that can be a questi...

Hello, I am a nurse in Florida and with regards to unions. Florida is a right to work state which means there are no unions and employers can fire anyone at anytime.

what campus did you apply for?

I wouldn't call it a bad area. It's kind of out there..it's like the boondocks.

they didn't ask me for my license

Does anyone know of anyone getting an interview and not getting accepted? A co-worker applied a few years back but was not accepted into program. But I never found out if she was ever invited for interview.

Hello, I was notified on 2/27/18 by email.

I just received my invitation for interview. I going on March 16 at Haborview campus. I'm so nervous!!

Hello Nurses, I am trying to get advice on how to try and change bad behavior in the workplace. I recently started a new job in the ER and I am so disgruntled with how all of the nurses speak to each other. It's basically very rude and borderline dis...

It would be difficult giving you examples. I do understand blunt and when some is just being a butt. I served 20 years in the Army so I really do know the difference between being blunt and just being rude. Nursing is a second career for me so I was ...

Yes. I'm still there. I'm going to stay here. I got a bonus and a $5 pay increase when I was hired for this job so I don't not plan on leaving. But I just wish people were less abrasive with one another.

Thank you for your advice. I plan to stick it out here. I've alway wanted to work ER now that Im here I can't let people's attitude force me out

Thank for the advice I do plan to document so if anything further happens I will have proof.

You maybe right about that. But you only get one opportunity to make a first impression.

Hello Allnurses, I am a new grad/RN and recently went to an interview for a MED/Surg position. I was a bit nervous because it was my first interview for an RN position. When I arrived, I was initially interviewed by the Nurse Supervisor. She asked me...

Thank you amoLucia for your comment. I did find employment and I am blessed that 6-8 months has not passed without employment. This interview with this hospital was so well organized and professionally conducted. The staff represented the hospital v...

Thank you for the comment. Yes, I think they had my resume before hand so I was expecting a more organized interview. Instead it was a very sloppy interview. I just hope that one day they can get their act together and represent the hospital more pro...

Yes, that is exactly how I feel. They didn't represent the hospital. Their lack of professionalism is a red flag for any future employees.

Wow..that is kind weird. To bad the lady did not "man up" to her mistake and came out to apologize for her mistake. Thank you for your story.

Yeah, I had that question asked to me twice during this interview. They were not paying attention to what each other were asking. I was very disappointed with this interview because I had done clinicals on this floor as a student nurse and I was expe...

The Nurse Supervisor interviewed me and the other nurses were not pulled from patients. They were sitting at the nurse station when I walked on the floor.

No, these nurses were expecting me.
