    Flatlander posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated in spring 2011. After 8 months job search was hired for an acute care specialty unit precepted orientation. After 12 weeks orientation was let go as "not a good fit", "not ready to take a...

    Flatlander replied to Peterjoy93's topic in Excelsior College

    Oh, maybe they mean AT LEAST 90 degrees or MORE. Anything less would be

  3. I have a quick question; I just can't figure it out.

    Flatlander replied to Peterjoy93's topic in Excelsior College

    This doesn't make sense to me either. I don't like the chairs at 90 degrees. You'd have to twist your neck or turn in your chair to look at each other, wouldn't you? Placement of chairs depends on the...

  4. Would love some feedback on my resume'!

    Flatlander replied to carolinasweetheart88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I thought of something else after looking at your resume again. You listed your top 3 qualities at the top of your resume. You could carry those themes through the rest of your resume. After listing...

  5. Would love some feedback on my resume'!

    Flatlander replied to carolinasweetheart88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you need to beef up your resume, too. I included a section on CLINICAL EXPERIENCE, listing the hospitals, clinics, and units and highlighting special aspects of clinical experience or anything...

  6. Why do we eat our young?

    Flatlander replied to jreynrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd like to see more respect for the nurse who feels bullied. (It's not just the new grad.) Are we blaming the victim? "It's just because we're busy. You should toughen up. No need to get upset."...

  7. Why do we eat our young?

    Flatlander replied to jreynrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was a social worker in the trenches for many years. Social work, like nursing, is a high-stress female-dominated profession. My coworkers were my saving grace in that job. Even though the work was...

  10. cover letter and resume help

    Flatlander replied to bigp71's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yep, I bet you gave some awesome speeches and your professors probably wouldn't know that just by looking at your written assignments. All the more reason to get a grip on the grammar! If you got...

  11. cover letter and resume help

    Flatlander replied to bigp71's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Bigp -- Your cover letter has lots of good ideas in it, but the writing is a problem. If you know someone who has good writing skills, take your completed cover letter and resume to them and ask them...

  13. rant

    Flatlander replied to mmc51264's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As you implied, I think his comment was more of a wish you had more quality time together than a criticism...in light of the facts of your schedules. I'm glad to hear he's a good helper, too. But it...

  14. Federal Loan Reimbursement Program

    Flatlander replied to Jarreux's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Somewhere I saw statistics that only a thousand or so applicants were awarded last year? I've checked out the website and I think the application process is lengthy, too. Not to dissuade you......

    Flatlander replied to mmc51264's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hope you're making LOTS of Moolah! Oh, and tell DH to take a hike....That is, AFTER he cooks you dinner and takes out the garbage! (I know...dream on!) Seriously, tho, it sounds like he owes you BIG....

  18. ER Nurse Attitude

    Flatlander replied to Chlometov's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There are thousands of unemployed nurses out here who would love a chance to show our compassion and kindness, even when we are extremely busy and triaging emergencies. Couldn't someone have given the...

    Flatlander replied to Flatlander's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    First, I did see your recent post "This is a discussion about Bad Resumes," Mclennan. I tried to use your suggestions when doing my last revision, but maybe it's still too long. I'd love for some of...

  20. New Grad RN-DROWNING in Dialysis- Help Needed!

    Flatlander replied to RNtobeinSoCal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That sounds like an ethical dilemma to me. It sounds like it's become expected that if it's too busy, you just let the policy and procedure slide. If policy is to do the assessment and most staff are...

  21. New Grad RN-DROWNING in Dialysis- Help Needed!

    Flatlander replied to RNtobeinSoCal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Handling ethical issues is one of the hardest things. If we really stand up for what we believe in, are our jobs in jeopardy? Where do you draw the

  22. Orientation not going well, may be let go?

    Flatlander replied to littlenurse21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The situation you are in is very difficult. And making a decision is all the more difficult with the emotional upheaval you are probably feeling. I think you are on the right track in wanting to talk...

  23. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    Flatlander replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry. My reply above was for Gloryfied, not Kalevra. Any chance Gloryfied and Anotherone are on 12 hour shifts? I found that very grueling, especially by the third shift in a row. All I wanted to do...

  24. Orientation not going well, may be let go?

    Flatlander replied to littlenurse21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As one who was "let go" at the end of orientation, I know how devastating this can be and sympathize wholeheartedly with those in this situation. Trust me, though it may seem like it right now, this...

  25. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    Flatlander replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For Kalevra -- I say this with caution, because I don't really know your situation, but it sounds to me like you might have some clinical depression going on. It may be, as you say, due to effects of...
