    Keep Applying, or wait a bit?

    WannaBNursey replied to RN9742's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Make sure you call the HR department at each hospital. They all have different policies. For example, one hospital system will immediately reject your application before you pass the NCLEX, another...

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

    WannaBNursey replied to mommycruz3's topic in Home Health

    PDN is private duty nursing where you work for a certain number of hours at a client's home. It's like shift work but with one patient. A skilled nursing visit is just that, it's one visit with the...

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

    WOW! Thank you for all of your "help" Gee, I guess the way you say things with such a nasty tone makes me really see things differently now. You're right, I guess I don't REALLY want to be a nurse...

    WannaBNursey replied to mommycruz3's topic in Home Health

    I don't currently do home health and don't know if I plan to, but I talked to two pediatric home health agencies. Both have nearly identical payrates and I think it's because of the medicaid...

    New Grad RN program $15/hr

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

    After calling some other hospital in the area that have new grad programs, I guess that the $10,000.00 threat is common to all the programs. It just makes me so uncomfortable. It's not a dream job or...
