    Haven't heard back on a job application.. is this a good sign?

    OrganizedChaos replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Just because you haven't gotten a rejection e-mail doesn't mean you're still up for the job. I have interviewed for many jobs & never heard back. Not a phone call or an e-mail. If they were...

    I live in Texas & it's not so bad. Ok. It sucks. The highs are already in the high 80s. But I'm not worried about landing a job when I get my

    SHORTAGE OF NURSES

    OrganizedChaos replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I said usually & usually the shortages, as someone pointed out, are because people don't want to live there/stay at the hospital or the hospital's don't want to hire enough

    Could you post or message me the tips? That would be great! My ex actually just took the class & I'll ask him what the teaching style is. That's a great point,

    OrganizedChaos replied to payitforward's topic in Correctional

    Well if you aren't happy with the job, then leave. When I worked at the county jail, I passed meds & it took up most of my shift which was 8 hours. There they didn't have CMAs, only RNs &...

    Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    OrganizedChaos replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    That would be a red flag to me. If they just got a bunch of new professors, something is not right. I would've applied to a bunch of different programs & see where I got in. I know at the...

    Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    OrganizedChaos replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    In my LVN program we had to wear hair ties that matched our hair color, I had no problem with it. I don't think it's that difficult. You're representing the school & they have rules in place. Did...

    I'm sorry that happened but there's nothing wrong with being an LVN. I've been one for 5 years. I'm going back to school to become an RN. When & if you go back to school, research research...

    Will I get benefits if I'm hired full time?

    You should probably as the HR person at your job. Generally if you're full time you get benefits but none of us would know since we don't work at your place of

    OrganizedChaos replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    Yeah it sounds like you had bad professors. I'm sorry about that. I'm glad you're a nurse now. Did you appeal the decision? You are right though, some people shouldn't teach. Kicking students out over...
