  1. Salary Pay for Fresenius Medical or Davita?

    trinnylax0484 replied to naz220's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Non-compete contracts do not hold up out of state

  2. Salary Pay for Fresenius Medical or Davita?

    trinnylax0484 replied to naz220's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    That non-compete contract really isn't that valid since it hinders your ability to work. It wouldn't hold it's weight at all in court. Either way you can work for a hospital instead (not a center) and...

  3. Salary Pay for Fresenius Medical or Davita?

    trinnylax0484 replied to naz220's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Stick it out for a year and then apply somewhere else. Minimum exp req'd for most places (that require exp) is 1 year. Leaving after 4-5-6-7 months looks bad. One year is

  4. Salary Pay for Fresenius Medical or Davita?

    trinnylax0484 replied to naz220's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I know of a magnet hospital in the chicago area that is looking for dialysis RNs with experience and the pay is fair (market index) and benefits

  5. Recruiters pls help a new grad.

    trinnylax0484 replied to MajesticRN's topic in Nursing Career

    No problem. Narrow your focus. Good

  6. Minimum Salary for Staff RN Position

    trinnylax0484 replied to Magen1021's topic in Nursing Career

    You can quickly google what new grad nurses are making in most metropolitan areas. You should be happy you got asked in the first place, you look more desperate by applying to every job out there than...

  7. Recruiters pls help a new grad.

    trinnylax0484 replied to MajesticRN's topic in Nursing Career

    You need to narrow your focus. I reject every single candidate that lists "open" or "any" as their preferred unit. Those candidates are not likely to stick with a position once they get it, and...

  8. Help please! Will knowledgeable nurse critique my resume and cover letter?

    trinnylax0484 replied to smilingfaces's topic in Nursing Career

    Clinicals count as experience in the sense that they're the area you're most familiar with or have spent the most time in. They're just not RN experience. So when it says, what are you interested in...

  9. Resume help

    trinnylax0484 replied to LevitateMe's topic in Nursing Career

    Page limit isnt as big of an issue seeing as most of the viewing is electronic these days. I have seen some people put their resume in size 8 font to fit it on one page, and I don't even read their...

  10. Anyone over 50 recently hired?

    trinnylax0484 replied to Biffbradford's topic in Nursing Career

    Diplomas and ASN/ADN are worthless because it's an EMPLOYERS MARKET right now. That means we don't have a shortage of people applying to positions so the standards have been raised greatly. Diploma...

  11. Would phlebotomy experience benefit a future RN?

    trinnylax0484 replied to Destin293's topic in Nursing Career

    True, but the patient interaction you're going to see as a phlebotomist will help you explain your patient focus and client care should you be asked about it in an interview. At least more so than a...

  12. Job Hunt Inquiries of an Almost 3yrs Nurse Grad W/o Xp

    trinnylax0484 replied to PrincessBeauty's topic in Nursing Career

    Or try applying outside of the L.A. area, there are plenty of hospitals out there that will hire "recent" graduates regardless of experience. You need to narrow down what you're looking for. The "I...

  13. I hate nursing!!!

    trinnylax0484 replied to OverlyStressedRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Go back and get your MBA and start applying to supervisory

  14. career change- Assistant Teacher to Nursing

    trinnylax0484 replied to NursingDreamsS's topic in Nursing Career

    Skip the associates as they're becoming more and more worthless. You can either enroll in a BSN or MSN program (non-accellerated) keep your current job and work your way through clinicals and school....

  15. Would phlebotomy experience benefit a future RN?

    trinnylax0484 replied to Destin293's topic in Nursing Career

    Any hospital experience is beneficial. Phlebotomy experience isn't going to help you get your foot in the door anywhere but it may help you greatly in the hiring manager interviews should you advance...

  16. need advise to help get a job

    trinnylax0484 replied to arjohn6895's topic in Nursing Career

    I would avoid the "woe is me, my last job was awful" attitude. You're not going to make it past the HR phone interview if you act like that. ADNs are also less desireable than BSN or MSN grads, and...

  17. Accelerated BSN/MSN Grads - Jobs?

    trinnylax0484 replied to 10yearreunion's topic in Nursing Career

    The accelerrated programs are really only a good idea for people with hospital work experience (medical assistants, patient care techs, phlebotomists, etc.). The lack of clinical experience will hurt...

  18. Anyone over 50 recently hired?

    trinnylax0484 replied to Biffbradford's topic in Nursing Career

    The ONLY problem with someone over 50 is that they might not have the proper degree. I've seen a lot of diplomas of nursing lately (worthlses) and ASN (worthless). I've seen Advanced Practice Nurses...

  19. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    trinnylax0484 replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

    I work at a hospital in recruiting and we hire PLENTY of new grads. I do see a lot of bad ones though. Ones that absolutely cannot interview, have very poor answers, are all over the board on what...

  20. Help please! Will knowledgeable nurse critique my resume and cover letter?

    trinnylax0484 replied to smilingfaces's topic in Nursing Career

    At the hospital I work for (and a lot of others) there are fields asking what you're interested in during the online application process. Make sure you fill those out correctly. However, it would...

    trinnylax0484 replied to MrsWongRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I review hundreds of nursing resumes a day for a prestigious midwestern hospital and I am going to tell you this from my experience. My assumption is that your resume is not as good as you think it...
