question.. does anybody know any site like allnurses for pharmacist??? thanks

oh wow.. so the economy did not just hit jobs for nurses.. but pharmacists as well.. so sad..

Now iam wishing that I took up pharmacy instead LOL

just to let you guys know, that i called the facility and declined the offer for another interview..

hi guys just want your opinion.. my sister is about to go to college.. and she's having a hard time choosing bet. these two courses.. told her to take nursing and be a nurse just like me but then i remembered that oh yeah for sure that studying this said course's challenging and fun and will teach you not just everything you need to know about meds, dse. etc.. but also on how to deal with people.. but what will happen to her after graduation?? it's a tough call.. so iam asking for your input guys.. thanks..

i know how weird was that... I salute all experienced & unexperienced RNs.. you guys are awesome!!! thankyou for making me feel a whole lot better

after 6 hours, the facility called me.. said that the director of nsg saw my resume and wanted to see me.. so i asked him who was the person who interviewed me?? he said oh she's not the director.. she's the blah blah.. forgot her title coz my mind went blank.. wth was that??? she's not even the director and she treated my like crap???

big hug.. cake oozing with chocolates and a glass of wine.. very relaxing!! thank you :heartbeat

thanks guys!!!! you all made me feel a whole lot better!!! btw.. i'll be remembering those you jerked me around.. that is to remind myself everyday.. to never be like that [rude] when i grow old and wrinkly LOL..

ben and jerrys!!!! strawberry cheesecake!! best advice ever!! lol

thank you.. that is so kind of you princesessa

thank you annaiya, southern and inkedrn.. at this point in my life.. i'll take any jobs available... i have a tiny questions though.. if i do get a job in a facility.. will it be hard for me to get a job in a hospital too, eventhough i have like a year exp. in a facility??

thank you batman and diva.. God give me strength to stand all this madness.. need a job to pay my bills.. and some recruiters are not helping at all by being extra mean LOL

i know right? she wasted my time, my gas.. she's like a lady with giant feet.. crushed my spirit at that moment..

thank you.. i know.. she even told me that she has 4 applicants.. 2 of them has 3 and 10 years exp.. while i have none.. iam hoping for the best.. hoping that God will give me a much better place to work in..soon

thank you locolorenzo.. your the first nurse w/ exp who told me that.. usually all i hear is.. yeah new grads are like blah... doesn't know this.. doesn't know that.. a waste of time and money..

thank you.. at that moment i felt like 10 guys broke up with me all at the same time.. the humiliation, the pain.. sigh.. thanks for cheering me up!

got an interview in a small nsg facility.. I told her all the great things that I can think about myself.. just to get the job.. told her that Im going to work extra hard etc.. etc.. but still she said no.. [why set an interview in the first place if you're just going to say NO right??] so anyway, she said that being a new grad.. NO ONE WILL BE INTERESTED in hiring me.. [i think she's right because i did everything that i can..but still no luck] so i ended up crying and pleading.. told her, how will i ever get an exp. if she's not even going to give me a chance.. if NO ONE's willing to give me a break! then she said that's just how it is.. it's too expensive to train new grads.. you're like a baby.. you don't know anything.. so why should i hire new grads if i can get a nurse with a long list of exp. plus nurses with exp. also needs this job.. it's a tough market.. and so.. with all that pleading and crying.. still went home heartbroken.. still no job.. so heartbreaking.. now im beginning to question why i took this course in the first place..people tend to be so mean sometimes.. I want to be a nurse.. but.. with everything that has happened to me.. very discouraging

this economy bites!! how will I ever get an experience if no one is willing to give me one... I don't get it.. what's the use of studying this course if afterwards you wouldn't be able to apply what you have learned because no one's willing to give you a break..

does anybody have any idea when will this economy pickup? been jobless for 3 months now and it's driving me nuts.. thought that if i pass the nclex then everythng will fall into place.. but it's not.. it's out of wack.. and no matter what i do.. already sent tons of applications..called nursing recruiters, even went to hospitals and nsg facilities, care homes etc personally.. but still no luck.. it is really depressing.. and i thought that passing the nclex was hard enough iam so heartbroken...

job market sucks... i cant find any.. hospitals and nsg homes doesnt want me because im a new grad and hospital who do offer the new grad program's so hard to get into because of the tight competition.. makes me wanna scream at the top of my lungs.. cry till my eyes fall off.. i've applied everywhere.. nursing homes.. hospitals.. still NADDA!!!

hi.. i basically prayed most of the time since i felt at that time that i was not fuLLy prepared.. still ans. a minimum of 100 Q's/day.. and read my Labs and meds everyday till the D day.. =))

hey guys.. took mine last nov 6, saw my name on the BON's site on the 9th then got my license last nov 14 then got my certificate after that.. God is so good.. =)

hey guys.. good luck to everyone.. tomorrow's the last day of nov.. hopefully everybody had a good month just like i did.. =)
