  1. Appropriate Response

    hotflashion replied to JMomBaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, I was just at an interview for a camp nursing job and as it's quite early in the year, we discussed my plans. The camp director liked me and offered me the job. I liked the camp, a lot. But it's...

  2. Interviewed once, want to interview again

    hotflashion posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Quick one, I think. About a year ago, I interviewed for a job I really wanted. The facility was a long drive away and the employer suggested a phone interview; I agreed. The interview went well --...

  3. Interviewed once, want to interview again

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, it was actually almost a year ago; I interviewed on 1/31/2011 to be exact. And I've got that weird last name. But for all I know they interview thousands; and while my failure blazes bright in...

  4. Feeling extremely frustrated :(

    hotflashion replied to danarooo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In addition to prisons you might also want to consider the VA. The application process is lengthy and tedious, and the interview process is somewhat unique. But your current US RN license is good no...

  5. Feeling extremely frustrated :(

    hotflashion replied to danarooo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello, Danaroo, I'm sorry to hear you can't find a job. My particular boat is further out from shore than yours -- I'm a May 2009 grad. Last summer I worked 2 weeks at a summer camp. I liked it, a...

  6. Are we trapped by our nursing degrees? Is nursing worth it?

    hotflashion replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    I feel trapped. Too old. Not enough experience. Flimsy little short term jobs after graduation (summer camp, flu shot clinics). Volunteering. It's been 2.5 years and no nursing job. Too qualified for...

  7. Continue education@

    hotflashion replied to nurses care's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are free CEUs everywhere, just Google it. Also, if you are old school and like CEUs on paper, you can subscribe to the free nursing publications like Nursing Spectrum or Advance for Nurses and...

  8. Any Info on Brattleboro Retreat?

    hotflashion replied to Preeps's topic in General Nursing

    FWiW: They have a lot of RN Staff openings listed on the

  9. Who's excited about Single Payer in Vermont?

    hotflashion replied to jojonavy's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I'll shout out: I am down here in Massachusetts and I am very excited. I don't hear much about it in the news, but then again, I haven't gone looking for it either. Perhaps a native Vermonter...

  10. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    hotflashion replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Maybe you can get some experience while volunteering at one of the many free clinics in the Tampa area: http://www.needymeds.org/free_clinics.taf?_function=list&state=fl I volunteer at a clinic...

  12. Any one have experience with Enterprise Consulting Solutions?

    hotflashion posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever worked for Enterprise Consulting Solutions? They are advertising for medical records field technicians. It looks like a job one can work while looking for a permanent job. It is...

  13. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    hotflashion replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Perhaps you can volunteer at one of the free clinics you'll see at this link here. I volunteer at one in my state. It hasn't resulted in any job leads for me, yet, but I am working as a flu shot nurse...

  14. Flu shot/Pneumonia shot in same arm?

    hotflashion replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've asked the question about same arm injections at Medline Plus. I'll let you know what they have to tell

  15. Flu shot/Pneumonia shot in same arm?

    hotflashion replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in General Nursing

    My agency recommends different limbs but says you can do up to two injections in the same arm if you have to. They recommend spacing the injection sites by 1-2 inches so that local reactions can be...

  16. Has anyone ever quit a new job after a few weeks?

    hotflashion replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am still amazed at the stories I read/things I hear & see when it comes to nursing. Nursing has to be one of the most unprofessional professions going. I've been around: waitress, file clerk,...

  17. New Grads and Resumes

    hotflashion replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Understandable. I am a career changer, too. Until recently I had no patient contact/care experience to list. I did not create a transferable skills type of resume, I put my education first and put my...

  18. Just started my first nursing job last week, is it too early to put it on my resume?

    hotflashion replied to sillywilly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ha ha, evidently! Good luck to us

  21. Maintaining the license without work, and a general rant

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks to all who replied with suggestions and/or an empathic ear. I've done most of what has been suggested but not every day. I usually set aside Monday as job hunt day, and I will revisit some of...

  22. Maintaining the license without work, and a general rant

    hotflashion posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So, I'm one of those once-upon-a-time new grads who is no longer a new grad but who has been unable to find employment. I'm building this little patchwork of short term employment situations (camp...

  23. Touching blood without gloves

    hotflashion replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    And that's the problem right there, as has been proved. And they are sticking their resistant-bacteria-smeared fingers in their pockets, on their scrubs, and in the glove box. If I was the patient,...

  24. Weekend job wanted

    hotflashion replied to Ginny Rohan's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, no one knows why this person wants to work weekends. Perhaps she has no religion and doesn't have to make time for that activity. Maybe no kids, or very young kids who will be cared for by her...

  25. Touching blood without gloves

    hotflashion replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting title I found on the American College of Emergency Physicians website: Glove use may hamper infection
