    Changing Specialties

    ThePrincessBride replied to ttomlinson's topic in General Nursing

    Hey GreenTea, Thanks for your insight. Were you ever worried about being labeled a "job hopper"? A lot of the baby boomers I've talked to are all about company loyalty, staying for the same job years...

    My Cushy Per Diem Job

    ThePrincessBride replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Question: Is it possible to get a PRN job in a specialty in which you've never worked? I know quite a few people who have PRN jobs on top of a full-time job, but they are all in the same

    Students asking for free money

    ThePrincessBride replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Seeking Opinions on Surgical Nursing

    ThePrincessBride replied to AndreaRoberts's topic in General Nursing

    I'm afraid you might run into the same problem with PACU/OR. Many PACUs/ORs require on-call, and some cases are longer and less stable, which again, requires some

    Ugh. Rejected from dream job

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wish that the float pool would allow us to float in some of the specialty areas. But it is only Med-Surg, no mother-baby. I do like that I won't need to be involved in any drama of the unit. And I...

    Will my scars from cutting be a problem?

    ThePrincessBride replied to S.F Skylar's topic in General Nursing

    I have old cuts. Unless this is a psychiatric facility, I don't see why it would be problem to wear short-sleeves? Putting tats over it will just bring attention to your

    Ugh. Rejected from dream job

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah, this was at a union hospital too. Seniority means everything in a union. It is great if you are seasoned, but for a new grad...not so

    Ugh. Rejected from dream job

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I guess what gets me is that there are several positions open, and over the summer, they hired so many new grads. So it feels very personal, you know? I will definitely keep

    Ugh. Rejected from dream job

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It was heavily implied that the job was mine once I passed my boards. That's what I get for being so naive. They have hired a ton of new grads, but I guess I didn't fit their

    Ugh. Rejected from dream job

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know you guys are right. I just had connections to this unit and I thought everything went so well. I guess I was just blind-sided by the fakery that is management. *Sighs* I have applied to other...

    2 part time jobs!!! I need advice!

    ThePrincessBride replied to AliciaS929's topic in General Nursing

    I am confused. You mentioned two part time jobs and a full time job. Wouldn't that be three jobs??? I wouldn't do it. That is a quick way to getting burned
