After reading numerous things on why people don't get hired. I figured it must be my credit report. After getting laid off in 07, well life wasn't grand for me. After no one would hire me, because my lack of experience as a RN, and running out of sav...

Just a note that my expectations were from months ago and I have taken the advice that I received from it since then. No where did I say I was looking in Boston, nor do I even live close to there. The one nursing home I went too was paying particular...

Your welcome. I was going to go there myself. I believe if you go to your previous college they can help you transfer. Your old college site should have a transfer advising page that lets you know which college they have agreements with on transferri...

I hear that all the time. Mind you I haven't had a home in over 3 years, because no one will hire me. I have heard everything in the book as well. I just ignore it and move on with my life. Don't let someone ruin your day over it. It makes me sick t...

Oh I don't want to make anyone feel that they can't get a job in this field. I have friends who are luckier than I, people have tried helping me, I have gone to my college to have career counseling, etc. I wasn't getting anywhere. I just wanted a car...

Thanks so much for the reply. I kind of found out why. It seems the travel agency I worked for (not mentioning names) removed me from their system. Probably because I didn't want to travel anymore. So without references no one will hire me. I do have...

It is a good school. As for their BSN program I received a letter and advertisement a few months back, but I haven't heard anything from anyone either. I am going into their Pharmacy program, but that is another story. Doesn't Framingham State still...

Have you tried Kindred? I am sure you have. I have waited for them as well. What about the VA? Probably that one too. We don't live in the same neighborhoods, but I feel your pain. I really do.

Quinsigamond Community College has one as well. I was thinking of doing it after not being in the field for a year.

Thank you. But, I am not sitting it out I have two jobs, getting paid what I was asking for. Just not in a hospital. Things always happen for a reason. Thank you everyone for your positive outlook and suggestions.

No LTC is definitely my thing, that is where I started right from Nursing School. I must say I loved it. But, I am not going to work for peanuts or play games with recruiters who offer me one thing and then say another. I can't even find a nursing ho...

I am a clean freak as well, but I don't think I will do it unless I mess it or to keep supplies organized in their proper place so it easier for me to get to. This was my question before I was hired. Will I be doing these type of things. He said, "no...

Thanks for your responses and suggestions. Mind you I don't live in Boston. I only apply to positions which hours they have for me. So it isn't like I am applying for something that requires full-time work or something that I couldn't do. Most jobs...

I got a job a month ago, and this facility is still waiting on my CORI. Feel like moving on to the next thing. I don't understand how it could take a month. Anyone else going through this? There seems to be less nursing jobs out there every week. Th...

I don't know. I thought I would look for another job, but I really want this one, because it is Private Duty. It will be 5 weeks this Thursday and I am running out of savings. I might try the Federal prison, and see how long their CORI's take. I did ...

Thanks. It hasn't taken this long before, but I did do travel nursing for over a year. Things are different and the economy has surely changed since then.

Lucky, I have experience and I can't even find a job.

Agreed... about the whole Southwest part. I moved there, because I wasn't getting hospital experience here. When the summer came there went my hours, because the "snow birds" would leave. The reason why I came back to the Northeast. How can I pay my ...

Unfortunately, I have been dealing with really bad recruiters. This one was the third one. When I was suppose to meet with her she was on vacation. I don't want to recommend a place that did this to me as it might happen to you. I know that if you ...

Yes, depending on where you live being canceled stinks. When I lived in AZ, I didn't have much work for the summer. This will be my first time doing agency where I live now. I just hope I get the hours I am looking for until I find myself a home.

That is great news, because I remember reading they were going to lay off. Can't believe everything you hear in the media. SMH...

You never know. They are hurting for nurses. I did travel nursing and heard an RN's horror story. But, geez if it was for real can you imagine how bad it must really be. :trout: Anyhow, I agree with the previous posters about the whole "something mus...

Wow that was sweet! Thanks!

I love what blondnursey said! I can tell you my first agency job, was very very similar to yours. And I left crying. The next time I did I was so much better. The place that I did my first job wanted to hire me, but they didn't want to pay me the sam...

Depends on what you are looking to do and how much experience you have. The are surely looking for management positions right now. Things are getting better and picking up. At least for my level of experience. But, I do know that one hospital was or ...
