yesterday

I love, love, love this response! It really made me laugh! I hardly ever post any more due to concern about being recognized, so I do appreciate the OP's attempts at writing in garbled code to elicit feedback.

Hi Charms, You have my empathy!! I applied actively for at least 8 months to more than 60 positions! I had to enroll back in school just to be competitive here. Depending on your area, the market is really rough! I couldn't move either...

If I were in this situation, it would take every ounce of strength in my body not to resign, effective immediately, and write the following letter to the manager: "Dear Satan Incarnate, In light of your response after the death of my son, having me...

Hello, I am hoping for any feedback on how long you waited for a large hospital system background and reference check...I submitted my info last Friday afternoon...

Maybe I am alone here, but I simply could not say "please" to someone who had just treated me like a piece of garbage. And quite honestly, it surprises me that some posters here have minimized his ridiculous behavior, stating the reason that nurses ...

Wow, this is horrible and makes me sad, as does the OP's statement of the hospital backing the physician. "Create a hostile environment" for her? Yeah, looks like their assessment is a little too late. Just imagine if the persons involved were rev...

Thank you both for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

I am wondering for nurses out there who have "supplemental" hospital positions with no guaranteed hours, how often are you contacted to pick up shifts? I have a supplemental offer and just not sure what to expect. Any feedback appreciated.

I would wait the full year as well. I've been in the same situation, I didn't wait and in hindsight wish I had...because the market in my area is really rough! But, at the same time, unlike you, I didn't have another job lined up. Based on anothe...

I see your point. It may be a useful tactic, I just personally can't bring myself to say it. I prefer, "wake up and don't be an *******". Just kidding.

See? It irritates me that the idea of my calling the doctor is "bothering" them. I have overhead other nurses apologize for "bothering" the doctor when they call them, but I just don't get that. The patient is their responsibility too. I'm bother...

During labor, I couldn't stop watching the fetal monitor to the degree where at some point my OB was on the phone politely telling me to stop watching the monitor! Also, when I first was admitted the nurse that started my IV placed it in my wrist ar...

Thank you, RNperdiem, In your situation, you are self scheduling where holes are in the schedule then...if you don't mind elaborating, how many shifts are available per week? (I realize this is your work place not mine) Also, did you mean you are re...

This is absolutely HILARIOUS!

Congrats Future!

Well, those of you who read my last thread, I didn't get the job. :/ But, on the flip side, I did hear from another NM at the same hospital and had another opportunity to interview...in a specialty that I wanted from the start! The interview was r...

Update: I got the job!

Thank you both for your replies! Good luck to you too, FutureResearchRN!

Thanks Meriwhen!

Oftentimes if I don't get the job, I'm left wondering why. I am asking hiring managers out there why you didn't hire someone or why you chose one candidate over another. Is extreme nervousness a deal breaker? What if the person stumbled over a few ...

Wow, his reaction was COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE. IMO, you didn't owe him an apology, he owed you one. "I will beat your head." Uh, that's a threat. What a d-bag...and his professionalism earns a gold star.

Thank you all. Your comments certainly soften the lack of response after my interview. The whole process just feels so dehumanizing except for the face-to-face interview. And the fact that employers ignore you after the fact is simply frustrating ...

And...not a word in response.

Well, it's been a week and a day now since my interview and not a word. I emailed the NM today asking for an update on the status with no reply. My status online hasn't changed since before I interviewed. I want to think that I still have a shot...

Kel, I contacted HR and was told that it is the manager who notifies. So far my email from Friday was never answered, so I called today and left a the NM a voicemail...asking for update regarding decision timeframe. And I'm stopping there. HR said...
