So I graduated in May 2009 when the economy took that wonderful fall and all the glorious stories you heard during nursing school, such as "$10,000 sign on bonus", "hospitals need nurses!", "you'll have job security as a nurse" disappeared. Blah! Wha...

So I followed the steps from this thread that I found back in November: https://allnurses.com/success-stories-nursing/i-got-job-532817.html and in the poster talks about how she super stalks recruiters and sends them her resumes thus scoring her dre...

I GOT A JOB TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed her suggestions and created a Linked In account, searched for recruiters, DONs, PCDs, at all the hospitals I wanted to work at. Snazzed up my resume and wrote a really great CL w/ an eye catching opening s...

These are great tips! Keep them coming. I agree with everyone else, Be rested, prepared, and organized!

YAY!!! Be assertive and you need to anticipate orders. Good luck!!

That's a good question! I'm interested in the responses too. Does work there can't as acute experience?

I think if you pursue this Preceptorship you will be opening a very big door for you in your career. You will already have a foot in the door and if you work extremely hard and have a great attitude I could see you being offered a position. I wish th...

I never thought to add my waitressing experience from Cracker Barrel or my teller experience from Bank of America. Should I just list that under my skills? "10 years of customer service experience from waitressing and banking." I just don't want my r...

Bill, I love it. You're like a breath of fresh air. I totally agree with you. I do remember back in 2009 that Hospitals were only interviewing to interview and had no intentions of hiring b/c they needed to meet the "quotas" that you are referring t...

I am more of a night owl and my best friend works PT nights and doesn't seem to have any issues. I'm looking to get into a hospital not just b/c of the schedules, but it's where I have ALWAYS wanted to be. I want to learn, I want the challenge, I wan...

Hallelujah!! :yeah:I thought I was the only one in my boat. Welcome aboard the "Stranded at Sea b/c we have no Hospital Experience" Cruise Ship, LoveMyBugs! Would you like a "Where's my career going?" Margarita? Or maybe a "Hospitals Like to Reject U...

Very True! Friend of mine had all 265 questions and passed. I don't know anyone who had 75 and failed, but I hear it happens. Just Relax!!

DO NOT RESCHEDULE!!! EVERYONE WHO TAKES THE EXAM HAS THAT THOUGHT POP UP TOO!!! My suggestions: 1. Review test questions everyday and answer using the methods that Kaplan and your Kaplan book taught you. Trust me they WILL help. 2. Review meds and s...

Checking out the NSO site and I'm getting ready to buy my insurance. Just curious, how much liability coverage do you all have?

Craigslist, INdeed.com, faxing your resume to different offices if you're lookinng to relocate and calling to f/u.

It really depends on the practice and location. When I was a first year RN the family practice I worked at loved RNs. I'm a Clinical Supervisor now at another family practice. I think 1 day should be good. You don't want them forgetting you dropped o...

Huge Hairy Hemmorhoid?

I work 8's now at a doctor's office, 9 actually. I work from 815-530 w/ an hour lunch break. I hate it. I want 12's. By the time I get home I have no evening left w/ my baby. Especially if I have to cook dinner. I miss him everyday.

:rotfl: NurseOnAMotorcylce!! My fav character of all time is the stapler guy.

Agreed, PBDS exams are the worst.

:ancong!: That is wonderful!! Best wishes to you! :hpygrp:
