you an rpn too? there are lots of them :) extendicare, nhi, qualicare.. etc :)

i already talked to one of cno representatives and they told me there really isnt that required number of hours to maintain my membership... i dont know how that works but i never bothered asking for details

problem is i have a 9-5 minimum wage job... i asked them if i should quit my job and stick to health care job but both of them told me they cant guarantee hours for me.. now my availability is only during the weekends.... so i guess i need to just stick with one agency if im only available during the weekends? im just concerned they might find out i signed up for two agencies i might end up not getting any job from both of them,, im just having some problems landing an RPN right now because my license is nearing 3 years without safe practice...

i am an rpn and i signed up for two staffing agencies as i thought this is good if i want more hours of work.. but after a few weeks i am starting to think this might give me a problem since both agencies cant give me fixed schedule... im thinking there might be conflict when both of them start calling me for work... anybody here who works for two agencies? i need your opinions please... should i let go of one agency and stick to just one? by the way both of them dont know that i signed up with two agencies...

sorry "HEALTHCARE AGENCY" i meant.

hey guys,, can you give me some pointers how to handle my interview with a potential employer for tomorrow? i was just scheduled for interview in a healthcare. im an internationally educated nurse with RPN license but without safe practice for the past 2 years... what should i expect to be asked during the interview? and how should i respond if i im asked why i never had safe practice for the past two years? sorry guys i just want to get more ideas, i just want to make sure i make a good impression during the interview... we all know RPN jobs are very hard to find right now thats why i want to handle this well... all comments appreciated.. thanks!

the thing is when i went to the clinic i only said TB TEST because i thought thats the only thing there is... not 2-step TB TEST.. and when i found out fron the potential employer that he needed 2-step tb test thats when i called the clinic again.. is there a difference in the procedures between 1-step and 2-step?

hi, i hope you guys can answer my concern... i just got a call from a nursing agency then they ask me to get tb test before i can be interviewed...so i got one last week... when i called the agency today i told them i have my tb results ready. then suddenly they ask me i need 2-step tb test... so i called the clinic again to schedule for 2 step tb test... but the clinic told me i need to wait SIX WEEKS for the second test... so my question is does it really take that long to finish a 2 step tb test?? six weeks?? im surprised because i thoughy i can have it done in less than 2 weeks... i cant afford to wait six weeks for a tb test... i might lose that possible employment :z

hello there allnurses... im just wondering if there is anyone here who works for an agency and accepts RPN jobs and PSW jobs at the same time? and do you work for multiple agencies? and lastly is there anyone who experienced some problem regarding NON-COMPETE agreements? thanks!!

was your hsband a nurse too?

im actually 30yrs old. and i was a nurse back in the philippines.. got my RPN registration here... im wondering if 30 years old is still ok to even change career and go back to school again.

because ive seen some job postings for RPN on skin clinics and im wondering if its worth applying to have safe practice... anyway i have to check the job description again.. :)

..by the way.. does working in a skin care clinic count as RPN safe practice? sorry for too many questions guys... but i really appreciate your answers.. thanks :)

so if ever i sign up with an agency i should only accept RPN job then? because right now my priority is to get safe practice for RPN... i dont want the hassle of applying for reinstatement again .. i only have until december to get a job :s

what does AB mean? sorry :)
