  2. Does anyone ever get hired in the future?

    Only once in over 20 yrs as a nurse has anyone who has said that to me called..and I think then it was basically because no one wanted the particular position that came open - including
  3. I accepted a HH position a few weeks ago, went in and completed the new hire paperwork and background check information. It's been over a week now and I have heard NOTHING from anyone - and no...
  4. I got a response...basically, they said some things were "overlooked" being put into the computer and I will start Monday. Interestingly, the person who returned my call, without me asking anything,...
  5. second degree nonu accelerated bsn program

    Have either of you considered online programs for your BSN? Many accredited schools offer the BSN program and will schedule the clinical in your area when the time comes and you can be given credit...
  6. OWI and the job search....

    I'm not familiar with the term OWI but I do know that a DUI - in and of itself - will not keep you from getting a job - a felony of some sort most likely would, but a misdemeanor and proof you...
  7. Did you hate your life in nursing school??

    I enjoyed nursing school for the most part BUT because of the class schedules, class work and clinicals I very little, if any, social life. I worked weekends and all my breaks. Like you, many of the...
  8. Can't get hired

    I don't know where you live or if you are in a position to move but there are TONS of L&D jobs in Georgia as well as a few teaching jobs posted at various colleges across the state. Also, what...
  9. I have been applying for job after job after job...finally was offered and accepted on working 3 days/week in home health..no call, no case management, salary (not hourly) plus mileage. The office is...
  10. Thick skin

    Some nurse have a tendency to "eat their young" - as others on here have posted "it's not about you" - as you gain your experience and age - life lessons alone - will thicken the skin - what matters...
  11. Getting a Home Health job

    After not working for 17 years it may be tough to get into HH starting out..many times, at least where I live, they want a year or more of recent experience. I would suggest calling some of the...
  12. HHC in JAX, FL

    I didn't work for them but when I lived in the area many of the patients I cared for that needed rehab went there. Brooks had an excellent reputation then. I miss living in the area Good luck and...
  13. MORAL DILEMA

    Your posted is not correct..I work hospice on a PRN basis and have had 2 family members who were on hospice..though both my family members were DNR's a patient does NOT have to be a DNR to be on...
  14. MORAL DILEMA

    Given the patients respiratory status, it's unlikely he will maintain normal o2 sats. Was he symptomatic? If he is alert and oriented and understands completely (and it's documented) what can happen...
  15. Failed! 4days before grad!

    The only failure will be is if you don't go back! Someone I went to RN school with failed the boards but now is a very successful CRNA. Maybe the hospital will still allow you to work as a nursing...

  17. Brightstar home health care???

    The Brightstar near where I live in Ga. just received some award for outstanding patient care from the survey people so at least in around here they are good. As far as the posts re: the questions...
  18. help...job decision

    I'd be surprised if the hospice job pays as well as the hospital - usually - at least the area I live - they do not. BUT, hospice is/can be a very rewarding career and I personally have had hospice...
  19. I worked HH in the past...I had applied for a baylor weekend position (weekends plus one during the week) and got the position. I understand HH has changed a LOT in the past 10 years - I am organized...
  20. Have you ever been stood up for an interview?

    I've had it happen twice - once by a telephone interview and once when I was already at the facility. They called me as I was sitting in the waiting room to tell me the DON wasn't able to make the...

    Leaches for
  22. I'd call your state board and ask them - explain all you have here - really don't think it will be an issue - I think the main things are felonies and abuses, long history of drug charges etc. Good...
  23. I interviewed for a position for a 2nd job a week ago. Was told I would hear something in a few days - I didn't. I took the initiative and called as this position would work very well with my other...
