Not sure where to post this but hopefully it is the right place. I just got hired on a Ortho/Neuro unit. The job is not that bad, the preceptors are. I have 4 total and each one has a way of doing things, which now I am lost. One LVN does not bother ...

It is but they felt that patient safety and the unit where in jeopardy from the risk I would have a seizure. I have epilepsy which has been well controlled for almost 2 years with medication and my Neurologist. I mentioned it to the nurse educator as...

Something I hadn't planned on. I have a disability and said something to a charge nurse and today all of a sudden it is nothing working out. Meeting with admin to see if I can stay.

Let me clarify. Of course I am not saying that anyone needs to hover over me. Each time just meant for each check off skill I have to be observed doing it. When I cannot get someone to watch me check off then that is my problem. Then the check off ha...

I had the basics on mine, no luck. I added what I did specifically that went above and beyond or targeted an area that I worked I got 6 interviews in 2 days.Even interest from hospitals in DFW which is hard to get. If you can afford to have a resume ...

@fafine I applied with an acute care at 1320. At 1700 I had a call back from the NICU director wanting me to come in for an interview. I would go ahead and apply if you are an RN. A friend of mine applied at the county hospital after getting her lvn ...

I went back to my university career center to get some help and part of my problem was the resume. I revamped it here and applied at 130 PM to a NICU. At 445 I had a call from the unit director wanting an interview. :)
Why not just do like we did before the use of online applications. If there is one in particular you want, just go in person. I thought about that prior to staying here. I wanted to work for Parkland and have read it takes forever for them to get bac...

Sorry El Paso. I had planned to go to Dallas but the competition for jobs without experience even for a BSN is ridiculous. They hire ADN here. Instead I am staying in El Paso and getting my experience. All the hospitals here will hire including the n...

I actually was trying to move from my current location to Dallas but getting into a program there seemed impossible so I decided to stay in El Paso. Most everyone who has graduated and passed the NCLEX is either working or has been hired to start at ...
