Today I was discharged from employment due to multiple med errors including transcription errors, failing to remove old patches...no harm was brought to any resident. Makes me feel like a bad nurse, but I know this isn't true; my heart and mind are in the right place, however the environment and circumstances of this last employer were not. Just like all the other threads, either you're in, or you're not. So I've already gathered a couple job applications (both from previous employers, I left both jobs in good standing and was offered a job OUT OF THE BLUE from one of those employers late last year.) Now, I must fill in my last place of employment. I know not to lie about my "reason for leaving" this employer; I have read and read and now my eyes hurt so I decided to just ask straight up: What reason do you give for leaving a place of employment in which you were discharged? Please, please, please answer this question. I'm in need of employment or risk losing my house and my vehicles.

In LTC you must have an order, and like the others said, you could probably get it later, or the nurse who takes your call could probably just give you the on-calls name and give the okay for him/her. Assisted Living facilities do not need orders and you may call 911. In my experience, I usually just call the ambulance phone number and tell them to come, since its a direct line.

Thank you. I have already submitted my application and have an interview scheduled today...I had submitted my application and resume w/o a cover letter...so is it a waste of time to give them one now? I guess I really wasn't all too prepared, just eager to get a new job! And good luck on your NCLEX today! I take mine July 12!

When writing a cover letter, how do you know who the recipient is? The HR staff member that contacted me for my interview is not the person who will be interviewing me. I only know the name and not the title? Any suggestions on generic recipients?

During my RN education program, my instructors told me that it was OK to bring notes to your interview! It's better to be prepared than to spend 5 minutes thinking of an answer!
