    hope3456 replied to owleyes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There was a post here maybe a year ago by a new graduate who stated she took her resume to the nurse mgr of the unit she wanted to work on....and got hired. I wouldn't take it to HR go to the unit...

    hope3456 replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

    Just popping into say the same thing happened to me. From the beginning I had a strong intuition that the NM didn't like me. She would give me the cold shoulder, ect but I was on night shift and...

    Job market for experienced nurses in Denver area?

    hope3456 replied to owleyes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Have you tried temp agencies or PRN positions? Sometimes you can start PRN and then if you are a 'good fit' they will hire you

    Is there a waiting list for the nursing program at Colorado State University Pueblo?

    hope3456 replied to Esmy1856's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It sounds like they admit competitively - there might not be a waitlist but they most likely will get far more applicants than positions available. I'm not currently in CO and I have heard there are...

    You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

    hope3456 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Great post Summitt! You hit the nail on the head. But in the end the nurse manager will most likely find a way to get her friends daughter or some other 'favorite' hired if she wants

    Finding a job without acute care experience

    hope3456 replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    I read that taking a nurse refresher class can help you get your foot back in the door. You do a 2 week clinical (and online class) and try to get one in a hospital where they are hiring! Also if...

    Skill level not high enough for acute care

    hope3456 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    So a RN was 'asked to resign' from a M/S unit....thru the grapevine I heard this is what the mgr used as a reason - although I happen to know it was for something else. Anyway, that is beside the...

    Skill level not high enough for acute care

    hope3456 replied to hope3456's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Perhaps it should be attached to your license - how 'high' your skill level is? I'm surprised there is no such designation already based on the responses to this thread. Should a RN get a chance to...

    Skill level not high enough for acute care

    hope3456 replied to hope3456's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree with you westieluv - it depends on how much experience you are able get ultimately matters more than your title. There are LPNs who have far more experience than RNs. So how are new RNs...

    How To Get a Job As a New Grad Nurse

    hope3456 replied to hakunamatata's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Another idea - for those of you in saturated job markets - let your school know of the problems you are having in getting a job. Contact the administration especially. Perhaps they should not be...

    hope3456 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yeah this is what happened to me. I didn't sign out a couple (of the 200) meds i had administered that shift - an 'error' most of the other nurses make as well. Although some nurses sign the meds...
