NurseWinn

I need some good advice. I graduated in May of 2011 got my license in June and began a long and laborious job hunt. After months of endless phone calls, emails, in person hand offs, I got a job. To say I work as a nurse is quite a stretch( more of a ...

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 seen my resume? I clearly am the better person"...so...

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 gather our wits and try somewhere else It's the never...

This is not the only hospital in the area, it just happens to be the only one I have connections (although loosely) with. I wish I had responded to the "better question" differently! It makes perfect sense now! Even though I have those extras it is ...

Jolie, thank you so much!! I will definitely set up a meeting with them. I guess I just wanted to make sure that all of my eagerness was not a factor in not getting the position. I would really,really like a job on that floor so I did not want to NO...

I chose Family birth, Med/Surg and then ICU. My phone interview was super quick, and I am not sure how it went. I hope they call for a second!!

10 minutes is so quick! I truly wonder how they narrow it down with such a small amount of exposure!!! Did they let you know how long until the next step? My interview is later today and I am already sweating bullets over it!! I wish us both the gre...

Av03, How did it go? I have my phone interview on Friday, trying for Family Birth. I heard they ask a lot of " why do you want to work for Adventist?" Was that true? I am really hoping the lack of advertisement and that they "only" received 250 appli...

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 incapable of moving. The general consensus is that...

So my story is becoming more like a bad Gilligans Island rerun! New Grad loved school, excited to work (anywhere) and no job. My location currently has something like a billion New Grads all fighting each other for work (doing anything,anywhere,for ...

Sadly I have not heard anything but I have a friend that received call for a second interview back on the 23rd. I hope they still have other calls to make but seriously think we did not make it this time around. Best of luck to those still searchi...

If I hear one more person tell me to just apply in LTC.....

I applied again!! I just love the torture! Had lots of fun at my interview! Spectacular people and then was selected to have my picture taken with the CEO?? That was a little awkward but still exciting! How did it go for the rest of you?

I started my exciting and adventurous nursing path four years ago. I was told it would be a hard and laborious process but if I applied myself I would become a nurse, a pillar to the community, a helper for those in need, a voice for those who have b...

Dipana! Thank you for your advice, once you stated it, it seemed so obvious!! I am joining right now as I type and will be searching for the next meet up! I can't thank you enough!! It may not be a job line up but I am sure this will at least put my ...

Dpiana,thank you for the reply! I have tried several of those options only to end up spinning my wheels. Most frustrating on government positions as their applications are so long. Have you heard of any success with new grads volunteering at the hosp...

I don't understand the philosophy behind all this madness. All the positions want experience, and all of us New Grads ( and in my case becoming a stale Grad) have NO experience but they won't even look our way. Now all these positions stay open leavi...

I was so wound up I ended up calling HR too! This is how the conversation went: Me: I was wondering if you had sent out all final offers for the Nurse Residency program yet? Lady: yes I believe so but would you like to talk to.....? Me: yes that woul...

Did you find out anything?? It seems as though we missed the boat this time. back to the drawing board I guess

Congrats lilredrn!!! I had no doubt you would make it!! Was it for the critical care position? Again Congrats!!! I hope you are super proud!

Nothing here

I remember when I was a CNA and transposed the respiration and HR...when the doctor came in he mentioned something to the nurse manager. Mortified I quickly changed it and from then on always double checked! It was interesting to note that I had done...

The wait is back on!! *wine*wine I feel certian that today will be the day...I have no logical reason for this just a feeling. So happy waiting day everyone!

Thank you sunshineo!! Good sleuthing skills! I just saw my name on the Washington registry, I am now officially a nurse in two states...now let the jobs line up!! BTW I am trying for the Medical Speacilties area! Here's to another day of waiting!

Hahahaha I stalk it too!!! But I think you are right on the 28th date the 24th is for another job I am despreatly pursuing!! Lilredrn I am so happy for you in getting the position...I know it's not official but something just feels right about it!!
