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

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

    hotflashion replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks, FairyPrincess06, I do do all those things. I took an RN Refresher this past January. I am currently taking Spanish for Medical Personnel at the local CC and intend to actually learn and use...

  7. May 2009 OLD grad, called 17 hospitals today...

    hotflashion replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for asking. As it turned out, the hospital laid nurses off and didn't restart their new grad program. I was employed briefly, in a place that I found unsafe. I just started volunteering at a...

  8. How to support New Grads....?

    hotflashion replied to Darknights's topic in General Nursing

    Where are you located and what kind of facility do you work at? How acute are your patients? It sounds like you work in long term care? When I read stuff like this I think

  9. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    hotflashion replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    I know you didn't ask me but I found this thread by searching on the word "structured." I'm actually trying to find posts about structured interviews. Haven't found 'em yet but getting sidetracked all...

  10. New Grads at VA Hospital

    hotflashion replied to SeychelleRN's topic in Government, Military

    Actually that doesn't sound like a bad way or place to start. To be honest, I don't want a whole lot of autonomy as a new nurse. I'd rather get some solid experience doing the practical work of...

  11. Graduated 12 years ago, never passed the NCLEX - Advise to get back into the field

    hotflashion replied to TripperJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know what you're saying, but the OP might be in a different place now. The OP might have more focus and determination. Nothing like working in an unsatisfying career to put you in another frame of...

  12. New Grads at VA Hospital

    hotflashion replied to SeychelleRN's topic in Government, Military

    Since I've got an appointment for an interview this week, I'd love to hear about the interview process. For one thing, what is a "structured interview"? Any information about the process will be...

  13. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

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

    Yep, that's pretty much how I feel. I can't get any kind of job because prospective employers know or think that I will leave once an RN job comes through. I can't get a job as an aide or doing any...

  15. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

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

    Good thought. I was thinking we should have a Nurse for America program modeled after the Teach for America program which, while it has its detractors, also has its supporters, and I think is widely...

  16. Unhappy and Depressed

    hotflashion replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    Some alternate career thoughts: Clinical research coordinator as an alternate career comes to mind, though some CRCs are RNs. Also, how about Cancer registrar? Again, some CRs are also RNs. Nursing...

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

    I graduated in May 2009, BSN. 3.6 GPA, Sigma Theta Tau, SNA, department's highest award, very involved and active in class and school activities. I've had a few interviews (4? 5?) and one horror show...

  20. Could employers judge people by their names?

    hotflashion replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I know what yer sayin' but actually Frank Zappa was cuh-razy without the drugs. He didn't approve of illicit drug use and his only addiction was to nicotine. He was merely a strange and creative force...

  21. Question for those who have completed an RN-BSN

    hotflashion replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

  24. Should I walk away from this job?

    hotflashion posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is long, but if you read and offer an opinion, I'll be very grateful. I think the question is, should I walk away from this job? I interviewed for the job at a rest home on a Thursday, and was...

  25. Should I walk away from this job?

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

    Hi, no, no job lined up. I'm again, unemployed. In addition to nursing jobs, I'm looking at jobs that will provide any foot in the door to where nursing care is given. I'm very
