I interviewed a bit ago for a job that I thought may be a shoe in. I was notified via manager that she wanted to hire me! But has to go through HR and check my references. I was told I'd hear from HR in a day, they are desperate. I NEV...

I am banging my head against the wall today. All I can say is thank god I have an uncanny ability to sense complainers before they even have a chance. I am a hospice RN. See patients and families of all kinds, no two days are alike! ( one of the f...

BAD NEWS.. I got an automated email tonight telling me the job I was sorta offered.. and it would take 2-4 weeks to process was GIVEN TO ANOTHER APPLICANT.

I can guarantee, despite me really wanting to work there, I will have to accept another job because I don't think it's wise to "wait" for them.

Seriously? I have been trying for almost a year to get my foot in there. I have had 3 interviews.. NOT ONE FREAKING FOLLOW UP. THIS ONE.. really concerns me as the manager wants to hire me!! And HR is in LA LA LAND. I do not want to turn down p...

What you learned in school is important, but ITS only the foundation. Your real skill set comes from on the job experience. New Grad.. 19 years ago.

MOVE ON. Nurse managers have liked me and disliked me too. Favortism rules. Asking for more meetings, clarification.. Its all just going to do a whole lot of nothing. that is UNLESS you are in a fair size hospital with a HR department. I I think ...

I will not say which hospital, but I worked for a local hospital recently. It's a huge facility, with nothing but good reputation in the community. I got a call today from an atty. They are interviewing me as a colleague of mine is suing them for...

I toally get your stress. It's not unusual to have loans, but my goodness Ms. Nurse, did your degree come with your diploma on a sheet of gold? For that kind of money, I'd think so. I just graduated From the University of Dundee in the UK. This i...

Go online and apply. There are not that many jobs posted right now, but that seems to be the trend of most acute hospitals. I worked there. Benefits are good, they offer paid retirement.. and a mandatory 2.5% rAISE EVERY 6 MONTHS.. There you g...

I have a new patient under my care at one of my facilities that I case manage. This little lady is a typical dementia patient with some manefestations of psychosis, she goes from being calm to screaming out all hours of the day, has sun downers.. ...

awful.. really awful. But people like this exist.

I am reliving my glory days for student nursing long gone by tonight.. What was the most difficult case you had as a student RN? I had a 12 year old pediatric ( female ) hispanic patient I was caring for during my peds rotation. She had an issue w...

I have been reading over the threads and I know it's going on 19 ( OMG ) year since I finished nursing school and have been working as an RN. Have you learned something in school that they just could NEVER put in a text book? Witness something biz...

I was in your shoes once. Please know, that no matter what, sometimes your superior justs wants rid of certain people. I had a Charge RN who wrote me up for everything under the great sky. For gods sake, I was a new transfer to the unit, had no GY...

Here it is... what would you say is the average increase over lets say your regular hospital?? Curious.

I had a wonderful interview at Kaiser locally today. Draw back? the job I interviewed for is not your basic 9-5. Its rather 2-10o=pm. Not my favorite shift, but maybe I could move to another position after time? How is the money at Kaiser? I cur...

Well, I wore braces.. orthodontics while I worked. I actually carried a portable toothbrush, took a cup of fresh water from the Sparklettes tank and used it. Simple, hygeinic and Cold Sores.. are a virus.. Herpes simplex. Did you catch it at w...

Ihear you. I always befriended my Charge RN. For a couple of reasons. People were always all to willing to toss her under the bus. It's an unthankful job. Hardly worth the extra money. After a few years on my unit my supervisor came to me an...

I just decided to leave my speciality that has been a comfort zone for me for years. I am burned out. It's been very hard finding anything I could apply for except the specialty I am versed in. I landed a job interview with an hospital 2 miles f...

I live in Los Angeles area. This is for a Case Management job... ( RN needed but no floor nursing.. thank goodness )(

I'd sit down and ask them to help you write a report from. One to use as a tool to remember report. It will come second nature sooner or later. To be written up for this is lame, but welcome to acute care. They love to write up people for thing...

THIS IS WHY... I retired from bedside nursing 5 years out of nursing school. Its BS.

If money were no object.. I'd have an animal rescue for all those hospice patients who worry where will my pets go after I am gone.? I have seen more than a few pets get tossed out after a loved one dies. ( I have rescued a few and own one.. LOL ...
