Eight shifts doesn't sound bad. I just left a trauma med/surg position because they were only giving me two days orientation because I was considered "experienced". All they thought I needed to do was...
I have agreed to go back to my previous unit. My previous manager said to me "we will work with you here to get your clinical skills back so you can go to a med/surg floor". She was also surprised...
I have been working on a rehab unit licensed as a SNF for the past 6 months. It is within a hospital network and being that I have worked two years in an LTACH and did a very short stint in a trauma...

Got offered a position finally after close to 2 months of applying! It's at a different hospital (it's actually a Magnet hospital) in their rehab hospital. They have a great critical care course and...

Same thing happened to me when I graduated. After graduation there WAS a position offered to me, but then LVH was on a hiring freeze (this was back in 2009), so I never got it. I know Saint Luke's is...
I heard that... but a hiring freeze again? Everyone seems to be doing that! And I feel SO MUCH BETTER that someone else has to pull teeth with them. I just thought I was a crappy RN. Hopefully things...
Hi everyone. I graduated with my ADN in 2009 and have been trying to get into LVH since. I have held other jobs while applying in order to gain and keep my nursing skills. I worked for two years in...
Thanks for the replies. I know Kindred is going to be a tough place to work due to it's rumored reputation, however I'm doing it for the experience. And those offended by me "settling", I meant no...
