I have applied to several positions at Christiana recently, and I've received rejection emails for two of the four I've recently applied to. I know from experience that Christiana weeds the applications out pretty quickly and i did receive those reje...

I just saw this the other day, I hope it helps... "Your value does not decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth." This totally put things into perspective for me as I'm coming off orientation at a new job and the anxiety comes often! G...

Has anyone applied to the Main Line Health nurse residency that was posted with the deadline of January 2013? Curious to see if anyone has heard anything from them either way, about an interview (or not). I would normally just shoot them an email, bu...

I was a Medical Assistant for 13 years, got my BSN, RN in December 2012. Live in Philadelphia suburbs and CANNOT GET INTO A HOSPITAL TO SAVE MY LIFE!!! I'm at such a loss. I'm miserable at my current job (Nursing Home on SNF/Rehab floor) because I'm ...

This afternoon I had a phone interview at a great hospital that I did several clinical rotations during nursing school. I have BSN, previously 13 years experience as a medical assistant and currently two years experience in subacute rehab/SNF and I'm...

Thank you! 😁😁

Yes, I understand that. My question was do you guys think its a good sign that he thanked me for a good interview, and that i did well compared to previous interviews with other candidates, or do they tend to tell people that they interviewed well at...

Oh I hope so! I would still have to do an in person interview before being offered a position. Fingers crossed!!!

Ok, so I felt the interview went ok. I was so nervous, but I answered honestly and professionally. He was very pleasant and friendly, he was HR nursing recruitment and said he would be forwarding candidates with good interviews to NMs. I felt as if I...

Thank you so much!!!

Good idea. Will do. And I'll be reading every thread on AN!!

Ok, I need to calm down lol! So I don't know if its that I finally put something out there, as in posting my job woes out to the universe, BUT I just got a call from my absolute favorite hospital where I did several clinicals in nursing school, and I...

Isn't it awful?! I am growing more and more miserable by the minute at my current job. I feel like a failure when I know deep down that I most certaintly am not!! Being so let down and feeling not "good enough" all the time has affected me in so many...

Same here. Not one call with hundreds of apps sent out since about fall of 2012. I work on a SNF/rehab floor of a LTC facility but Im miserable there because I have wanted to be a L& D nurse since I was a teenager (im 37). I have my BSN and 2.5 ...

Also, even if you go for the BSN straight through, there's a good chance you'll be starting out in LTC/rehab anyway. That's what myself and a lot of my classmates had to do because hospitals don't want anyone with no experience...including BSNs!

I would, if you can, start taking your pre-reqs like your english, math, electives, psych/soc etc now. Do one or two of those at a time if you have to before your child is 3 so you have those out of the way. I went straight for the BSN but I already ...

I work in rehab and this happens ALL THE TIME. Those places know most young or newer nurses are there for the experience and go. They also know that nursing schools are spitting out new nurses every 6 months or so. There's probably tons of nurses beh...

Yeah. I think at this point I'm going to just go into HR offices directly. Whenever I have called, I get a series of prompts until a message tells me they cannot check status of apps due to high volume. Once I ignored that little fact and pushed thro...

Thank you, I appreciate it. I've applied everywhere within about a 40 mile radius or so. I'm limited how far I can travel with my little ones right now. I will keep trying that's for sure! ☺

Thanks for your responses. I have gone over my resume about 100 times and had others look over it as well. I had a girl I know actually contact me saying her floor was understaffed and they needed nurses desperately. I applied for that job, she email...

Sounds like my job! Except our night shift supervisor does all those fridge temp checks and glucometer quality controls. In our facility, the skilled floor has 36 beds with two nurses on night shift. That's my floor. The rest is LTC and one floor has...

"I feel every shift that doesn't end in me strangling a random administrator is a day I've gone above and beyond." I'm dying! Lol!! I always say, it's a good thing I'm on night shift because I would be fired if I had to deal with our 26 yr old Barbie...

Wow. Ok. I think it's great that a high school sophomore signed up for AN and is getting perspective from nurses on a career path she is interested in! How can a "professional adult" be so disrespectful and nasty to a young adult thinking beyond nex...

I would let it be. Other than the"fire hazard", he's not harming himself. In fact, the cannabis is probably taking care of that cancer! I wish we, as nurses, could push that instead of debilitating chemo. The reason I could never work in onc....Talk ...
