    Oh, that's good! They acted like it would be forever before I would get to do orientation again! But I'm a new grad and I know they hired a bunch of new grads so maybe we have our own orientation? Did...

    Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    CrazierThanYou replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    CrazierThanYou replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know what you're saying. I had a job when I started nursing school but ended up losing it because of low census. The owner reorganized the way the place was staffed. So, I got another job for the...

    Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    CrazierThanYou replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Really? I don't think so. And I would also like to say to you and other hiring managers: Don't waste our time either. I was interviewed a while back by a person who had something personal against me...

    Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    CrazierThanYou replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    BrandonLPN, I am offended at the comment "don't list jobs you worked for a couple of months". The reason why this offends me is because I just finished an internship/Americorps position that was only...

    CrazierThanYou replied to alipetra's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    When I got the call for the initial offer, I missed it. I bet I called 30 times (literally) and left several messages over the next few days before I got ahold of anyone! From what I'm told, Mission's...

    No, I haven't heard anything yet. I email my recruiter twice but didn't get a response. Looks like I am going to have to call myself. I REALLY want to do the September 10th orientation because I don't...

    Traveling to Asheville to work

    CrazierThanYou posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi all. I recently accepted a job offer in Asheville, NC. I live 2 hours away and I will not be relocating to the Asheville area. Not at this time, anyway. I know there are several people from my area...

    What do employment physicals/health assessments consist of?

    CrazierThanYou posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I recently got a job offer at a hospital. I am waiting for my background check to come back so that I can move on with the hiring process. The next step is the "health assessment". I'm supposed to...

    Problem with instructors refusing to instruct!

    CrazierThanYou replied to LexisMommy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You must have gone to the same school as me! The instructors I had for first year nursing never did any kind of instructing. We also had a hugely overprices video series to watch that we "learned" the...

    Advice for brand spankin' new CNA?

    CrazierThanYou replied to NightNerd's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Since I work with a host of new CNAs, I can offer some advice. First, don't go into this line of work thinking it's easy. It isn't. If you don't pull your weight and sit around the nurse's station,...

    Feel any way you want! People who want to be smug usually haven't been in dire circumstances and can't understand. I have to say, when you have people saying to you constantly "Oh there are ALWAYS...
