Pixie, thanks for the insight! They did ask about how I handle conflict? Which I thought I responded in an appropriate way. Also, they did actually say “no” lol I got declined emails. ? Also the ED was a fellowship! And I acknowledge they’re not recognizing so much my medic experience, but being it was a fellowship I thought a perfect opportunity.

Hello all - I’m trying to obtain some insight from whoever may have some. I’m a 3+ year med/surg,tele and progressive hospital RN. I have my BSN, CMSRN and ACLS under my belt plus over 8+ years with a background in EMS. I’m currently on a med/surg tele unit and am a fill in charge RN as well as a clinical instructor for the university in which my hospital is linked. With all that being said, I have recently wanted to branch out and do something new. Ideally I would love to work in the ER so I applied for a fellowship - got the interview which went great but no offer in the end. Just this week I said what the heck and applied for a CCU progressive floor nurse. Cardiac pts is my thang considering I was a paramedic for so long. It’s my bread and butter. Just got the interview today and yep, you guessed it! It went great but no offer. So what is it I’m doing wrong people?? My hospital is a level 1 trauma center/magnet facility among other things. It’s a great place to work but lately I’m feeling like I’m trapped and all the opportunities I thought could be available for me are turning me away. Side note: I’ve found out that the university we are affiliated with has this new contract where we have to hire new grads of the school so I’m thinking that’s another road block as of late. The new grad students are taking jobs away from experienced, dedicated nurses to the company who wish to further their experience and gain more specialties. I’m super frustrated guys. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

Hello All, Just seeking some advice. I'm a new RN who just landed my first job in a skilled nursing facility. I'm currently on the 3-11 shift with a plethora of duties. Admissions being a big part of my day, along with charting, treatments/dressings, MD orders (writing paperwork, transcribing orders, faxing pharmacy orders, deciphering labs, faxing labs to MD etc) I have 20 patients with 2 major med-passes. My day seems endless and I barely ever get off on time. I'm very stressed out at the moment and am trying to figure out how to manage this without calling it quits. If anyone has any words of wisdom, please share - it would be appreciated. -Danielle

Are you BSN or associates? And do you know if any associate degree nurses were hired for the new grad position? I applied and am waiting a response. I have an associates, bachelors currently in progress. Thanks

I've been trying multiple times a day so far! I'll try that and if not, by tomorrow hopefully they'll surface. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and would love to have some good news before I fly out. :)

Hey All, I took my NCLEX for NYS on Saturday, August 3, 2013 and have yet to get any kind of results. I did the pearson "trick" and got the pop-up indicating a positive result, but for me, I need something more concrete! It's been nearly 49 hours since I took my exam and the quick results are still unavailable and my name is not posted on the BON website. I was wondering if anyone else has taken their exam on a Saturday and had this issue as well? Is it 48 hours or 2 BUSINESS days? I'm very anxious to know if I passed, naturally. Please lend me your input. Thanks!! :)
