Thankyou that is very helpful

Here's my problem. I so badly want a simple floor-nurse med-surg position. I am an RN with an associate's working on a bachelor's. Been working in LTC for a little less than a year. Obsessively been applying on-line since than and have had 3 interviews, another soon to come. I'm am a helpful, nice, kind of quiet girl but excited to see what's out there in nursing. When I have an interview I get so nervous they don't get to know me well and I don't hear back. Pleeeaaase help!!!!

I also work in long-term care but evening shift. The first facility I worked at had staffing like this. I don't know if they even had to do THAT much on midnights but either way extra extra stuff like stocking, cleaning, filing paper work geesh! I agree with another person that is IF you have time. Even then I see people cut corners in LTC all the time. No one wants to hear a message like that. I would say even if you do not have your issues resolved with this facility you should find another job, someplace with better staffing even if not psych.

Here's my situation, I'm a recently new RN with my associate's, only been working a little less than a year at a nursing home which I like but I need med-surg experience in a hospital setting. I'm still working on my bachelor's. I've had a couple of interviews at good hospitals but I'm not sure if they are disintersted because I started out in the nursing home or maybe I'm just not sure what's missing from my resume. It's pretty basic. I'm a friendly, young, bright new grad with initiative so now what? I'm not against working in long-term care at all I'm just looking towards something else and starting to get discouraged. Any advice on interviews an job-hunting? Anything helps. Thanks
