  2. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

    NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank all of you again for the advice! I never felt like I answered the "better than" question properly. I guess I was just flabbergasted as to why they would ask...I always wanted to say,"have you...

  3. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

    NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Marcos9999, I completely feel your anguish. I truly wish Managers would just come out and tell us if we do not fit on their floor. It would probably devastate us and we would cry but the we could...

  4. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

    NurseWinn replied to NurseWinn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  9. Staying Alive...or at least in a semi comatose state..

    NurseWinn posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated from my BSN program in May of 2011 and I am still unemployed. I have heard it all and tried it all. I understand that my location most likely is the cause of my current sad state but I am...

  10. Applying to everything, smart or a huge waste of time?

    NurseWinn posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
