Im a Pepper

Hi all! - I've been working in the ER for almost 2 years now, since I was a new grad. My experience with inpatient hospice and a family member was the reason I became a nurse in the first place and I always thought it was what I wanted to do. I finally decided that it could be time for a change so I applied to the well-known hospice here and they contacted me saying that they have per diem admissions positions available (I'd asked for full-time and ideally thought I wanted to work inpatient). To the hospice admissions RN's: what are your thoughts? Do you like doing this kind of work? What are the pros? What are the drawbacks? Do you find this type of work rewarding? Would you switch to inpatient if you could? I guess I'd never really thought of doing this so I'd like to hear from others who do. Thanks in advance!

preg tests and meal for the road.

I was in finance for 5 years. It was quite a change but I adore nursing and am so glad I made the switch!

Hopefully you'll hear back before then! Enjoy the cruise!

A friend of mine works there and said it took them forever to contact her after she submitted her app. I don't know if that was like a few weeks or what but I'm so curious if they've started interviewing yet.

sella turcica?

These things are so frustrating! How can they determine someone's personality by administering an online test. I did google tips for them once and, among other things, I read that the answers in the middle of the "Strongly Agree/Strongly Disagree" scale are never correct. If I recall, the explanation was that it makes you seem "wishy washy" if you can neither Strongly Agree nor Strongly Disagree. To me, this sounds ridiculous. I did score "unfavorably" on one of these once (that's how the HR person worded it). Evidently, she wanted me to come in for the interview anyway because she asked me to redo it. She didn't tell me what, exactly, I didn't answer favorably and I don't remember what I did differently the second time around but apparently I passed. The trick, I've been told, is to answer truthfully because they can somehow pick up on the fact that you're trying to give the "best" sounding answer. I guess they can ask the same question in a number of ways to throw you off. I think the best thing to do is sit quietly and in a place where you will be uninterrupted so you can think about your answers and answer honestly. Good luck!!!!

Nothing yet, folks?

haha! Maybe they're not done contacting this time around? :anbd:

awww! :hug: I'm sorry. I applied to the one before and did get a rejection email. It went to my spam so maybe yours did too?

Someone in a previous posting mentioned they got a rejection letter already. I haven't gotten one yet but also haven't heard anything at all…

I'm sorry to hear that. I fully expect mine any day now.. I applied to the last one (although it was right before I graduated, I think) and I got a pretty quick rejection. I wonder what they take into consideration.

That's really great to hear! Are you still with them? I'm excited to have been hired into the internship. The only thing that concerns me is that you're not guaranteed a position on the unit you start out with. I guess I have a while to think about that...

You *googled* "logic section NCLEX"? That was a very logical thing to do...

Has anyone heard back yet?
