    sourapril replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  4. Unsuccessful at nursing and not sure what to do

    sourapril replied to OnestressedRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe hospital nursing is not for you. I know it's not for me and I never wanted to work on the floor. Try public health, clinical nursing, research, maybe you like teaching too? There are lots of...

  10. Will I ever get over this? Personally or professionally.

    sourapril replied to DoodabuzzRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am not trying to downplay your mistake but you didn't kill anyone. If your facility fired you for that reason I think you are better off not working for

  12. How long is too long to get first job?

    sourapril replied to aviaa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    sourapril replied to morningland's topic in Nursing Career

    If you feel burned out from school, you should take some time off, 3 months at most in my opinion. If you want to take longer time off, why don't you start somewhere easy, like a flu or wellness...

  17. Is this a normal part of an interview? (CNA)

    sourapril replied to SpiltMilk's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I hate peer interviews because if one person doesn't like you (personality, the way you talk, etc), and the hiring manager listens to her/him, you will not get the job. It's just so unfair. My advice...

    sourapril replied to Misskala's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If the place is screening out people based on some test results, not even offering you a chance to show yourself, don't work for them. I have been in school long enough to figure out the answers they...

    sourapril replied to Fomzy24's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    sourapril replied to whit_jones's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
