  1. Wearing scrubs to the interview.

    So basically I got an offer to interview at a hospital and I was told on the phone I can wear scrubs. The email confirmation said I can wear, or bring scrubs and the one review on glassdoor says they do typically have people wear scrubs to the interv...
  2. Wearing scrubs to the interview.

    Thank you very much!
  3. Wearing scrubs to the interview.

    And my scrubs are already blue . Greys Anatomy to be exact :)
  4. Wearing scrubs to the interview.

    Yeah, they plan on having me shadow. I think I will wear scrubs because Ill be going straight to the unit and ask for the manager at the nurses station, instead of an office tucked away to do the interview. Then right after the interview Ill shadow. ...
  5. Its draining me so bad. I have noticed very clearly within the past few weeks doctors and NP's hesitance to send patients to the hospital, when before it was always a no-brainer. This is because they want to prevent re-hospitilazations likely to get ...
  6. Fired after 8 months.... scared.

    I know I made mistakes and I won't deny it. None of them were medication errors. Some of the listed mistakes I had never heard about and I know I didnt do, others I totally own up too. I know my weak points and what I need to work on, mainly being ab...

  8. Fired after 8 months.... scared.

    Also, when filling out new apps and giving a reason for why I was fired, I am not totally sure what to put down.
  9. I am so scared of staying in my SNF, but I need the job while looking for acute care jobs. I am a brand new RN and still figuring things out with both the facility and nursing that it is so hard for me to finish all my tasks. My orienters were not he...
  10. Quit my first nursing home after 1 day!

    In LTC the charge nurse is the floor nurse. The supervisor is the floor manager.
  11. I have a position in a SNF and I plan on working there for a while. Eventually I would like to work in a hospital and was wondering what sort of expectations I should have regarding that. Should i focus on getting an 'in' through a hospitals rehab or...
  12. Father of a nursing student needs advice

    Like many people here have said she should take a week or two break then start the search in earnest. As a Calufornia new grad I was forced to take 4 months off before getting my license, and i was getting no bites for jobs because i lacked a license...
  13. How I Got My Dream Job!

    I am applying to a new grad program where the application period does not close until 2/5. Is it worth it to send an email now, or should I just wait until it closes? I'm thinking of sending it now just to put a seed in the managers head. Honestly, t...
  14. New Grad, no Job

    Hmm, I'm interested to know but was the home care job an RN job? And I'm surprised your friend got into an RN residency despite having used their license in a SNF because, at least in California, any usage of the license makes you ineligible for the ...
  15. New Grad, no Job

    Hmm, I'm interested to know but was the home care job an RN job? And I'm surprised your friend got into an RN residency despite having used their license in a SNF because, at least in California, any usage of the license makes you ineligible for the ...
  16. So in California the BRN has been really, really bad about giving out ATT's despite me having graduated several months ago. I have started the job hunt, sent out applications etc. but the lack of a test date was frustrating and I realized I needed to...
  17. That is important to know. Considering I am working at another organization and working closer to an RN level there doesn't seem much of a point in doing this job in terms of resume building and the risks seem substantial. Just today I had to stay ov...
  18. Also in terms of a resume builder... is it actually a help or a hindrance? I have heard most people say its a good, but some have mentioned negatives with it on the resume...
  19. So even with my RN license that I will get while doing this job, I will be an unlicensed caregiver still. That deisgnation will not change. Ok, thats a positive.
  20. I live in an extremely saturated area, the SF Bay Area. I am thinking of joining a temp agency or something like it to aid in the job search. I've found it can take me a few hours to apply to just one opening because I like to tailor the cover letter...
  21. Temp agencies and physically going up to floors.

    I've also applied to out of state jobs and will call back to follow up and attempt to speak with the unit manager through HR.
  22. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and know I have almost no chance of getting a new grad job here, so I am looking elsewhere including out of state. I just started seriously job hunting and I'm not sure if I should focus on big cities, but in othe...
  23. Hopefully one that isn't too expensive. I tried online and couldn't find one, I haven't checked the phone book yet but I might soon... Its ridiculous the prices of these courses and the fact you pretty much need them in todays job market to even be c...
  24. Nursing school burnout.

    7 months into my accelerated 12 month nursing program and I am reaching a wall! I spent the last of my energy getting an A in my last med/surg class and I have been totally slacking on pediatrics and my research class... I'm getting through them, bu...
  25. Nursing school burnout.

    Yes good point! I'm feeling a bit better today for sure and reading that post made me feel better. Its true, eye on the prize. It doesn't hurt my mood that I got the highest score on my research final! Just goes to show that despite how I may feel an...
