  1. 1st job, desk job

    GinginRN replied to RowReally's topic in Nursing Career

    I think it's a great idea to be working period, making your future job applications more attractive, vs. being unemployed and not gaining any

  2. Should I give up?

    GinginRN replied to jlw5's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe a career coach could assist regarding what direction to take

  3. Inability to Land a Job With Experience?

    GinginRN replied to marcann's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you considered a staffing

  4. Interviewer didn't like me from the start?

    GinginRN replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Nursing Career

    Consider that interview of premonition of what you would be working with had you been hired for that position. My experience with interviews in the past have told me to expect the unexpected. Many...

  5. Hanging It Up

    GinginRN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Retired Nurses

    Thank you for posting a nice, inspiring post. Your hard work and dedication to the field has yielded a new direction for you. It's nice to know that there are other areas available, especially for...

  6. Feel like I really messed up my interview =[ LONG

    GinginRN replied to maddox11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sounds like you held your own during the interview. As you invited to more interviews in the future, you will observe that each style may be different. Be prepared for anything. Wishing you the...

  7. Rejection stinks :/

    GinginRN replied to mind_body_soul RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The job search today is very frustrating, mind-boggling, and depressing. Keep plugging away at apps and interviews. Remain confident, and positive. Many are in the same boat, so no that you are not...

  8. What is fair pay rate for my situation?

    GinginRN replied to favoritemumsy's topic in Nursing Career

    Kudos to you for being accepted for a position as an RN. I wouldn't worry so much about that pay rate. With you getting your foot back in the door, you can get the recent experience many positions...

  9. Resigning

    GinginRN replied to Sinah's topic in Nursing Career

    The place you were working at apparently only cared for the almighty dollar, instead of patient safety. I would have left too. Imagine working on a short staffed shift, and having some type of...

  10. Reprimanded for reporting medication errors and so much more

    GinginRN replied to reprimanded's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Had I noticed the error, I would have approached the fellow student on the insulin issue. Maybe the two of you could have accomplished the task together. When I was in nursing school, the students...

  11. What you should never say at an interview

    GinginRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Will you excuse me while I take this

  12. Rn being trained by lpn?

    GinginRN replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a couple of LPNs orient me in the areas of med administration, and other floor duties. They had a wealth of experience and were a pleasure to work

  13. So depressed! Left hospital can't get back in.

    GinginRN replied to %63theend's topic in Nursing Career

    It appears as though the hospitals have numerous applicants for the positions posted/advertised. A majority of the facilities require a year's recent experience. Those who do not meet that criteria...

  14. Help

    GinginRN replied to LilgirlRN's topic in Nursing Career

    If hospitals won't take a look at you, try a staffing

  15. Negative Feedback from GN Interview - HELP!!!

    GinginRN replied to jtnurse13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I find that personalities may clash. While you know that this is the perfect fit for you, the nurse manager may see otherwise. Could be simply a matter of who presents the best. Remember, in most...

  16. Social help, not fitting in

    GinginRN replied to nursepeaches's topic in General Students

    I think many of us here on the boards witnessed the clique formation first hand. Don't feel left out. You will eventually end up forming bonds with others in your class. I went through the same...

  17. Missed Call from Recruiter, Didn't Leave A Message

    GinginRN replied to PCnurse88's topic in General Nursing

    When I was not available, I had a recruiter call and leave a message on my telephone. When I attempted to return the call later that day, of course they were not available. I left my name and...

  18. didn't get the job, but had a follow up phone call

    GinginRN replied to sourapril's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm sorry you didn't get the job. It's great to hear there is follow-up with the interview process and encouraging to hear great feedback. Here's to hoping you get the job the medical director...

  19. Staffing and patient abandonment

    GinginRN replied to LightMyFire's topic in Nursing Career

    The unit/facility sounds like a recipe for disaster. Darned if you do, darned if you don't. Bet your bottom dollar, when something happens, the mistake will end up being directed to the nurse/staff,...

  20. Bouncing back after being unemployed

    GinginRN replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I think it's a great idea you took the traveling position. Jobs are very hard to come by these days, and showing that you are working will get your foot close through the door of local opportunities....

  21. 57 and need to start over YET AGAIN!

    GinginRN replied to Bailey246's topic in Nursing Career

    Travel nursing or agency nursing might find something for you that could turn into a great

  22. Help me! ( very long)

    GinginRN replied to PacesFerryBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with others, forget pursuing with that particular medical system, and pursue others. Sounds like they will always have you under the thumb with their politics. This may be the push you need...

  23. My interviewer didn't ask me any questions ??

    GinginRN replied to ibegyourpardon's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congratulations on your new job

  24. Does it look bad?

    GinginRN replied to Meg86an's topic in Nursing Career

    I was informed by a nurse recruiter to go ahead and apply for other positions the following week if I didn't hear back from the position I originally applied

  25. Feel like giving up (rant)

    GinginRN replied to yourstrulyjmc's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Don't give up. Many RNs, new grads, those with experience, and RNs returning to the job market are experiencing frustration too. Network with former classmates, and keep
