Dazglue

Thanks for the responses everyone. I really appreciate it.

I've never been contacted by anyone concerning my application so I don't know what my weaknesses are.

So I've been at my facility for about 8 years. For a while now I've been trying to get into a particular department. In 8 years, I've applied for a position about once or twice a year. As a matter of I fact, I stopped applying this year because I came to the realization it's just not meant to be. Anyways, I got called in for an interview on this unit this week. Immediately after sitting down the first thing the manager said was "I've received several of your applications over the years." She sounded really annoyed and let out a big sigh. So my questions for managers, Is it really a bad thing to continuously apply to a job? Do you guys ever get annoyed from the same person applying?

I walked in to introduce myself during change of shift and the patient promptly pressed her call light to request another nurse and stated the reason was "I don't associate with n******". I swapped with another nurse. I don't have time to put up with ignorance. Unfortunately I've encountered this more than once in my nursing career of only 5 years.

OUCH!!!!

The youngest grandmother I met was 26. She had her daughter at 13 and her daughter had a son at age 13. The grandmother bought the baby into the ER for fever, while the mom was at an after school program. When she said "grandmother", I stuttered a little bit due to shock! I'm 29, and I can't even see myself with my own kids yet...most definitely not a grandchild!!!

Me: "Hi, my name is Dazglue and I'll be your nurse tonight. Can I get you anything right now?" Patient: "I don't associate with black people." After that she promptly pressed the call light requesting a new nurse.

Are you serious?

Did we use to be co-workers? Lol. Seriously, while I was on orientation, I had to be charge nurse with making assignment's, having a full patient load of around 6-7, handling all types of emergencies clinical and non-clinical, be present for all codes and rapid response calls, all while only being a new grad of only a few weeks. Problem with the schedule? Co-workers would go tattle and then I'm summoned to the office to be reprimanded. UGH! After 4 years, I'm still trying to get off of this unit!

We get these kind of patients on our floor and I work in a skilled nursing facility. I'm constantly fighting with our house supervisor and admission coordinator when we get patients like this.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DID THIS! Lol.

Oh my goodness! What is your problem? I commented my personal opinion on a thread and I NEVER referred to you and you just came for me! You are free to state your opinion (just like I did) but don't get smart with me. Just make your comment and carry on....

Excuse me? I was just referring to the policy at my facility and the consequences. And if you can't read that sign then yes, you will get fired. No need for a smart mouth response. Jeez.

Someone did this at my job...they were promptly fired the next day. We even have a sign that says "No firearms or any type of weapon allowed inside facility" on every entrance.

I'm awake now because while I was sleeping I heard a bed alarm go off. I jumped up off the couch to catch the patient before they fell. My stumped toe did not appreciated that. Earlier today, my mom called and I answered, "skilled nursing, this is dazglue. How may I help you?"
