  1. How long to get Job offer??

    Marisette replied to Labelle13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sometimes things happen for a reason. Their loss. Continue your search. It's not unusual for employer's not to get back to you after an interview. Perhaps you were a good candidate, but they found a...

  2. New Grad jobs in Chicago (ADN)

    Marisette replied to wheath98's topic in General Nursing

    I can't tell you about any specific new grad programs in Chicago. Hospitals seem to like both experience and a BSN. However, in my opinion, they prefer experience. It seems like there are many BSN...

  3. So long, farewell, adieu

    Marisette replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's sad to loose a good nurse for profit's sake. I started working in a non-profit facility recently, and learned it's all about the profit. These non profit places want to stay afloat and do...

  4. MSN Education vs. NP

    Marisette replied to drsrn's topic in Post Graduate Students

  5. MSN Education vs. NP

    Marisette replied to drsrn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I see more employment for nurse practitioner opportunities, full time opportunities with benefits if that is what you are looking for. Teaching is a great career choice also, but if you look at...

  7. Any Chicago area RNs?

    Marisette replied to RNBSNon12/13/14's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Illinois also. I have not worked for the two employers you speak of. I hope you hear from them. Chicago has a very competitive nursing market. I've noticed some salary predictions on-line for...

  8. DON lied.

    Marisette replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Nursing

    This does not sound like it will get better. I'm not too surprised by your employer's behavior. I think it happens more often that we think. Call your previous employer and see if your old position is...

  9. Help

    Marisette replied to Olga.Vargas's topic in General Nursing

    I have come across some coworkers that travel out of state to get into a nursing program. The programs in state are so saturated with students that some interested candidates go out of state if they...

    Marisette replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not good with numbers so please excuse me if I misunderstood this article. It appears to predict a future nursing shortage. Personally, I'm skeptical about this. Do employers predict this also? I...

  11. What would you think if you saw this patient?

    Marisette replied to coffeemamaRN's topic in General Nursing

  12. Would You do This Commute?

    Marisette replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

  13. Bullying by Nurses and CNa

    Marisette replied to nadomel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's important to build bridges as a new employee. Being social, reaching out to help and learn are all part of this. However, it is a two way street. Experienced staff should also be enviting and...

  14. Not loving nursing....yet.

    Marisette replied to MrsJt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My personal experience in nursing has not been good, so I can't provide reassurance of better things to come. But that's just me, there are some very happy nurses out there. I think your hapiness in...

    Marisette replied to live4ward's topic in General Nursing

    There are healthy nurses who start careers in their 50's. However, it may be harder to find employment. There is a risk that employers will assume you are not able to perform the physical demands of...

    Marisette replied to xLovelyThorns's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on the new job. I have worked in long term care for short periods of time, doing inservices so I'm not a real pro. However, I think it would be good to brush up on medications, in...

    Marisette replied to duca's topic in General Nursing

    Hello OP, sounds like you have several good suggestions on this thread. All I can I say is that I feel your pain. Sometimes it's not practical for older nurses to change our whole family's life to...

  22. bedside burnout, alternative?

    Marisette replied to _zoubisoubisou_'s topic in General Nursing
