Thank you :)) Felt Interview went badly and they didnt like me.....then they phoned!! I had wondered how it had affected nurses working in the rioting areas! oohh Pizza at night time....now i cant wait to start heheh xxxxx

Skylark i just want to thank you so much for your messages they have been so helpful and its mostly down to your helpful comments that i got offered the job!!! you were completly right about the interview they wernt really intrested in my experince or clinical skills!!! thank u again xxxx

thank you Skylark for your message. government targets..thanks for mentioning this i would have never of thought to research this!! Im pretty sure they have trained peds nurses in the A+E but im guessing would need some peds training! No time to work shift beforehand im afraid will be going in blind! do you think it would be okay to write some bits down and take in with me in interview as i go completly blank when im interviewed and just mumble a load of nonsense!!!! xxxx

hi everyone I have an interview in A&E department next week for Band 5 Reg nurse job... to make things worse il be coming straight off a night shift and going to the interview, and i cant get out of the shift or change it im just wondering if any A&E nurses out there can give me some advice or tips on what they might ask in interview and what to prepare beforehand?? thanks in advance!!! RNpinky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i also am unhappy in my job. I have been qualified as a RN for 6 months and work on CCU. i disliked/hated near enough all my training and wanted to quit so many times but i kept going with the support of my family as it can lead me elsewhere...which is has!! i have been accepted to study biomedical science this september (another 3 years of studying ) and i cannot wait. the thought of learning about the biomedicine of the body without the patient care and contact is what excites me..i know i must sound awful but i really am not the 'hands on nurse' that patients need. I will still have to work part time as RN whilst studying but hey least i know i am heading for a happier career!!!

Thabks for the advice I will look on rcn website yes I am a member :) I work in cardiac care, and I don't want my degree to be specific to cardiac or another area in case I want to move abroad or work in another area. When did u do the course was is recently? I have registered to start managing care in october and think I will do exploring practice next year as my other module. Did u do the top up to degree for personal devolpment or for moving up the ladder? Hope u don't mind all the questions!! :) Thank you xx

Hi heather bee Thanks for the comment- can u eloborate on what u mean that the degree might not get u a job? I do already have a job as a staff nurse in uk and want to study around my work in my own time to top up for a degree. Xxxxx
