I don't think it is a big deal that she didn't inform you that she is a nurse. Her personal business is her personal business. And she has the right to pick and choose which information to give you.Your her nurse not her best friend. No offense I'm just saying. We care for all regardless of occupation! :)
I had a horrible time finding employment. I graduated with my BSN in May of 2011 and passed boards in June. I applied everywhere (it is like sending them to a black hole). Some places you get the email back from and some you never hear from again. And why is it so hard to get in touch with a Nurse Recruiter for the hospitals. Its like you send email after email and leave message after message and yet they never get back to you. So annoying. Anyways it is 6 months later and I finally received an offer back from a hospital I really wanted to work for (because of their extensive ER Nurse Residency Program) and was super excited to say yes hire me...lol. I went into nursing to help others I just didn't think it would be so hard to find employment.. OK I am done ranting!!
