  1. Continuously Reapplying to Departments You've Been Rejected From

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

    That's probably true. But this is also the third time this unit has rejected me, so clearly they are not interested

  2. Will I get hired anytime soon?

    purplegal replied to Kgrela89's topic in General Nursing

    I also had hope that one day I would land a great nursing job. Like you, my peers have landed amazing nursing jobs. One started in the MICU right out of nursing school. Another started on a vascular...

  3. Will I get hired anytime soon?

    purplegal replied to Kgrela89's topic in General Nursing

    From experience I know that the nurse to patient ratio they share with you during interviews is not always true. Unless it's an extremely large ratio (those places were actually truthful). I was told...

  4. Help..new grad RN unsure what to go for

    purplegal replied to averyl417's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Go for whichever one gives you the job and be eternally grateful if you get a hospital

  5. Leaving nursing job after 2 months

    purplegal replied to swimmingfever00's topic in General Nursing

    You should try staying with the job for at least a year. Not even making it through orientation is not good, trust me. Also not only would your manager not see you favorably for leaving so soon, but...

  6. Continuously Reapplying to Departments You've Been Rejected From

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

    36 rejections. Clearly hematology is not going to hire

  7. 2 offers, trying to compare pay+benefits between both but already said yes to one

    purplegal replied to Buggus's topic in General Nursing

    Wish I had your dilemma. I can't even get one offer, let alone two to debate

  8. Do CCRN, ECCO, CEN Help Each Other?

    purplegal replied to Spine_CRNA's topic in Critical Care

    Wish the CCRN was in my

  9. Starting in ICU

    purplegal replied to Tacomaboy3's topic in Critical Care

    Wish I could get a position in ICU at all, let alone as a new

  10. Will I get hired anytime soon?

    purplegal replied to Kgrela89's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate. I haven't been able to land a job of preference either, and I've applied over 30 times in 2 months. Right now, I'm stuck working at a SNF. These types of places seem to hire almost...

  11. Bored with circulating

    purplegal replied to marlee84's topic in General Nursing

    You may have more luck than you'd think. I know someone who was an OR Nurse for 2 years. She is now working on our hospital's CVICU, which is regarded as a premier cardiovascular surgical center in...

  12. How not to puke on your shoes during your first real ICU shift?!?!

    purplegal replied to dogmombyday's topic in Critical Care

    I'd do anything to be in your position. I would love to be vomiting on my

  13. New Grad looking for ICU review

    purplegal replied to frenchxtoast's topic in Critical Care

    You should be eternally grateful to have landed an ICU job. I'd give anything to be offered that position. You must be very intelligent if they put you there instead of med surg (not that med surg...

  14. How honest to be when quitting a job

    purplegal replied to Caramarie's topic in General Nursing

    You are lucky to get a new

  15. Continuously Reapplying to Departments You've Been Rejected From

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

    34 rejections now. No Organ Transplant Nursing, no wound clinic

  16. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Of course I know that they're real people. I just find it fascinating what can be done to save people's

  17. Telemetry RN transferring to SICU.

    purplegal replied to Nursestar7's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I cannot relate because I have not been blessed with such an amazing opportunity. Chances are, I never will either. However, I would think that would be a normal reaction because you...

  18. Continuously Reapplying to Departments You've Been Rejected From

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

    One option that I have may be to apply to the skilled nursing facility associated with my dream employer. I may have a better chance getting in there than in acute care. However, my pay rate would be...

  19. ICU vs Oncology for new grad

    purplegal replied to kelsn's topic in General Nursing

    You should be eternally grateful you received such amazing offers. I'd give anything to have either one of

  20. How long to get Job offer??

    purplegal replied to Labelle13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah, I would say if you hadn't heard anything in 2 months you could've safely assumed you didn't get it. One job took a month to let me know I wasn't selected, and I've had several jobs that have...

  21. Which is it? Coolest and most glamorous nursing jobs

    purplegal replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    The coolest nursing jobs include any ICU job, ER, becoming an ECMO Specialist, Cardiac nursing, Electrophysiology nursing (I know someone who has just gotten a job here), OR nursing, anything to do...

  22. Is all nursing experience treated the same?

    purplegal replied to guest17's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I am not positive that taking a geriatric nursing job is the right thing to do if you want to get into acute care. I, myself, have worked at a senior rehab center for 16 months. For...

  23. Choosing between jobs, this new grad needs help!

    purplegal replied to Kitkat222's topic in General Nursing

    If you have been offered a job in the specialty you desire, and you feel like you "belong there," that is probably the job you should take, even if it doesn't pay as well. Remember, if you stay long...

  24. Which specialty to choose?

    purplegal replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Specialties

    I would welcome any of those specialties because they all sound amazing in their own way. I would be honored to be selected for any of them, although I probably never will be. My top choice would be...

  25. All Hail ICU Nurses

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in Critical Care

    It wasn't my intent to insult every single other type of nurse. Unfortunately, I am obsessed with critical care/ICU nursing and tend to get carried away with it. You're right, though, it is sort of...
