Try home health nursing. If you like educating your patients, and you already stated you want more one on one, hh might be a great option for you. Also, assisted living you get to know pts really well.

Did you get the job? I hope so!!!

Good for you! Congratulations!

K+MgSO4 What is the right answer when asked about wage if you are interviewing with a county agency or union where wage is already set, and youre not sure of the wages for your position? Is there a way to find out ahead of time what the going rate fo...

I received a phone order for medication change. I made the changes, per order and protocol, aced the doctor the order to sign. When he came in, he denied giving me the order. In front of everyone, I reminded him that I repeated back the order twice f...

Hi, I just spoke with a recruiter about a job I applied for in home health. she is going to set me up to take a math quiz and the automated phone interview. can anyone please give me any pointers on what to expect? How did you all prepare for the mat...

One more thought! If someone wants to talk to you while you are in the process of getting meds ready, kindly let them know what you are doing and you can't talk right this minute. Then attend to them when you are finished.

When I did my psych rotation, there was a med tech that gave all meds. Although, there was a team that engaged when an emergent situation arose that would give injections...ex., a person was getting worked up and need meds to calm down. I guess it's...

We are all too scared of killing someone! But, mistakes still unfortunately happen. Using the 5 rights wouldn't have stopped Bonnie from making that mistake. Checking to see if any new orders came in, the patients nurse actually should have looked t...

Yes, being a nurse isexciting...finding ajob...not so much...lol anyhow, I have a funny story. Will that count? I was given orders to get a urine sample from an old dementia patient. Well, needless to say, she was going to automatically give me a ste...

Depends on what state you live in. That would be awsome experience. Money isn't everything and you can always move on once you get that 6 months to one year acute care experience you need. You might find you love it, and the money doesn't matter to ...

Lilmglvn, I don't believe the board gets envolved. They may have let you go because of a family member. May a daughter/son, etc, threatened to move the resident to a different facility if you weren't let go. Money talks, and unfortunately, nurses ar...

Can I ask what your looking for during the interview process and with the resumes? I have had several nursing jobs already, but can't land one I really want or a hospital job. I think I'm horrible at interviewing, and my resume' needs improvement, b...

Hi, I know most nurses graduate young. I waited until my kids were older and I have more life experience as a result than younger nurses. On the other hand, I have not been able to get a job in acute care. I have interviewed and applied to many jobs....

I have a question from nurse managers, hiring managers, HR: I graduated in 2008. I have worked as a nurse but no acute care. I've had interviews, but no "yes, you've got the job". I have written and rewritten my resumes, gotten advice, and I think I...

I am in the same position. I graduated in 2008 wanting to be an L & D nurse. I did an externship and preceptor ed in it and still can't get a job. Not even in acute care. What the heck. Does anyone know we hat the best thing to do is? I also have...

HI, I HAVE BEEN A NURSE SINCE 2008. I went to a private, expensive schooling hopes of being an L&D NURSE. I CAN'T EVEN GET A JOB IN THE HOSPITAL. MY QUESTION IS FOR MANANAGER, HR, HIRING MANAGERS...WHOEVER DOES THE HIRING. I WANT A JOB IN A HOSP...

I would think you would have to have all your classes done, because they look at you go a as a whole. I don't even think I could apply until all my classes were done...although I did have to take classes at Saint Mary's. Not sure how they work that o...

I would be happy if I could get the job I really wanted...

Ive seen many nurses that have worked for years and work like they are new nurses. I am frustrated because I care about what I'm doing, I get no credit for it, no one sees....I'm not doing my job to get accomodations...but some one else comes along a...

?...what hospital do you work art? Because I can't seem to get a hospital to hire me. It is very frustrating.

What would help me love my job? #1...better organization and respect for others.

I was fired from my previous job. I had an interview last week, but I did not divulge the fact that I had been fired. I really need this job. I am wondering if I should have been up front when they asked why I am not working there anymore. I didn't l...

It just gives us who are not new grds...hsve experience in other areas..just hospital. ..feel like losing more hope. Hospitals really don't want us. We aren't new grads so they don't ud..we rcyiih, mm

Pppp87, like I said before...you will get another job. Keep applying. You do not have to state that you were fired during your interview. And I don't think the old manager can state that you were fired...just that you worked there.
