AFwife727 BSN, RN

I am a hospital nurse working night shift and I'm looking for a change of pace... Wanting to get out of the hospital environment and have a more normal life! I should mention too - I have a 5 year old starting kindergarten in the fall and a 3 yr old...

So I was thinking about all of this. And came to realize I had more questions than I initially thought. I'm concerned. I was told by a retired nurse who worked for the district for 17 yrs that they are using Health Aides at the schools and they are...

VaccineQueen - Yes, I PM'ed you!

Thanks for the advice! Happy to say I landed a second interview... But I am nervous. This one will be 2 interviews in one day for the same position - one with the vice president and the second a peer interview. Then apparently after that there's a ...

Hi all... I need some advice! I just received an email regarding one of my applications for a quality management position at my hospital. I got a phone interview and it is tomorrow!! I'm currently an acute care med-surg/GYN RN working 12-hr night s...

I am a hearing impaired RN and I work in a hospital on an acute-care unit. I'm currently still on orientation while the hospital tries to figure out how to get me a telephone that I can use. Since I'm unable to speak on a normal phone, we tried get...

So I am wrapping up my orientation for my new job as a GYN nurse in a hospital. I am a BSN, RN. I have severe hearing loss in both ears and am bimodal (wear a hearing aid and cochlear implant). I am unable to hear on the phone. The biggest proble...

HOH11225RN, sure you can PM me.

I too just accepted an offer for a night shift position on a GYN unit! I'm so excited. After working as a home health RN, I'm really looking forward to working in the hospital. The way I see it, once you get that hospital job, you're golden. You ...

Thanks, scaredsilly. I'm happy to report that I got the job! :) Got a call w/ an offer a couple hours after the interview :)

So I managed to snag an interview on a GYN unit thanks to a nurse tech who works on that unit. I have my BSN. Graduated with honors from a university in 2012. I currently work as a home health nurse doing private duty pediatric shifts and do NOT like...

I am an RN, BSN in the Tampa Bay area. The job competition for nurses here is FIERCE. I interviewed at every single hospital in the Bay area. I eventually took a home health job just to get the experience for my resume. From what I've been told, ...

Psychosocialist - I just submitted an app package for USAF Direct Hire as well! I am also working on the Fed prison job package now. I have created a federal job resume - it is 7 pages long and uses exact keywords that are in the job announcement. ...

Hi Nurses, I am an RN, BSN and currently in the beginning stages of applying for federal employment. I have about 3 nurse jobs I have my eye on but I still have to create my federal resume, each tailored to the positions themselves. One of them is ...

Anyone have experience getting hired with a "Direct Hire" position? Was the process easier/shorter, etc.?

So I am an RN, BSN who is currently applying for federal jobs. I am a military spouse as well. I'm currently working as a home health nurse and have been for 4 months now (this is my first RN job). I am preparing my federal resume and I also have ...

I saw that too and could not figure out what it means. Maybe that I cannot use a Schedule A for an RN position? That would be unfortunate.

A little background on me. I'm an RN, BSN and landed my first job as a home health RN after about 2 years of searching. It's per diem for now, with no benefits and it's not an ideal situation but it is what it is. I need the experience. Having sa...

It is so hard to decide whether we should just get whatever experience we can doing non-hospital work, or if we should persist and hold out for those hospital jobs. I've applied to EVERY single hospital in my area no joke, and even in areas that are...

Wow. I guess it's pretty much like it is here in Florida. The bigger cities are more saturated with nurses. It's ridiculous in the Tampa Bay area, as there are many nursing schools pumping out new grads each semester. Luckily, I just landed a job...

I'm in Florida. New grad RN job prospects here where I am are grim (Tampa Bay area). Very grim. But I don't know about other areas of Florida.

Hello all. I am a new grad nurse, graduated from a university with my BSN in May 2012. I got my RN in August and since then I waited to apply for jobs until December. My husband is in the military and was deployed and I had my daughter, which is w...

It is cruel, indeed. Disability + inexperience... not a good combo :-\

Thanks for the insight... I agree. However I'm no longer in nursing school. I have my RN now and have had it for 1 year, just cannot find a job. My hearing impairment plays a big role in it, unfortunately. No one wants to hire someone with a disabili...

Thank you for your suggestions! Since I am pregnant, I've put my job search on hold until after I have the baby in January. I've been trying to get ahold of the volunteer services dept at a local hospital; hopefully I can start doing something like...
