  1. Not sure how I should respond

  2. Not sure how I should respond

    MostlysunnyRN replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sure they have--the VA definitely has. I'm unsure as to whether the HR person shared this info beforehand with the nurse managers--that wouldn't be professional IMO, but frankly would not surprise...

  3. Not sure how I should respond

    MostlysunnyRN replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You've made a lot of great points. Honestly, I knew going in that this job would likely be more of a stepping stone for me. I don't think any offer of resolution on their end would make a difference...

  4. Quit Nursing?

    MostlysunnyRN replied to tayabee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I worked hospice, albeit inpatient, we always called the doctor when we suspected UTIs, C-Diff, etc and got orders. There were no standing orders. No nurse could give orders either. We had lots...

  5. Quit Nursing?

    MostlysunnyRN replied to tayabee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First off, working 5 months you're still very new at nursing. Then you're in a position where it's much harder bc you don't have another nurse to turn to in the moment to ask for help right away. You...

  6. Not sure how I should respond

    MostlysunnyRN replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thanks for the responses so far--all have given me a lot of valid points to mull over. I'm thinking if I simply say I'm doing it for personal reasons, it might be perceived that my life is interfering...

    MostlysunnyRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ok so I'm very fortunate to have found work after passing my NCLEX and taking a few months off for myself. I've posted about a LTC job that I accepted and then turned down after red flags. I posted...

  10. Not one but two job offers today!

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

    The first hospital did not give me a lot of time to respond. I did not ask to job shadow, but I do know of 3 RNs and 2 CNAs that worked there so I immediately contacted them for feedback. Two of the...

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

    Thank you! I do have tips, and honestly, the job market can be like night and day in one area vs another so keep that in mind: (1) Keep consistently putting in applications; it may be months later (as...

  17. Not one but two job offers today!

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

    Thanks...I think the list is too long lol, but the VA is definitely my choice. HOWEVER, things just got very interesting. I called the first hospital to decline and the recruiter told me they were...

  18. Not one but two job offers today!

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

    I realized from my post it probably seems like I'm moving quickly but there's a lot more detail that I've posted in previous posts, that would've been too much to post again here. My current position...

  19. Hospital vs dr office nursing as a new grad..

    MostlysunnyRN replied to Loxam10's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congrats on finishing school and best wishes on passing the NCLEX! As a new grad myself (and thankfully employed), you are very fortunate to have both options open to you. Only you know the extent of...

  20. First job and thrown to wolves too early?

    MostlysunnyRN replied to ArrowRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, at any rate, congrats to you on getting yet another job interview! I got a call today for an interview from the largest hospital network in my state. I'm pretty excited about it and a former...

  21. First job and thrown to wolves too early?

    MostlysunnyRN replied to ArrowRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sorry you had this experience, I totally feel for you because I wrote a very similar post just a few weeks ago, where I was pulled off orientation for a shift when the unit was understaffed. It seems...

  22. Rn per diem should i say yes

    MostlysunnyRN replied to MacBook Pro's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Something about this is not right. Did you respond to an ad in which the position was listed as FT? Was the position listed anywhere in writing as FT? Sounds like a bait and switch possibly. If they...

  23. New Grad pulled off orientation for a shift due to short staffing

    MostlysunnyRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    This might be lengthy but here goes: So my second day of orientation as a new grad RN, I was asked to take a group of patients on a neuro rehabilitation unit because of several call offs. I was sent...

  24. New Grad pulled off orientation for a shift due to short staffing

    MostlysunnyRN replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for responding Loo17. I have been put back on status as an orientee. The charge nurse did come by and apologize, and offered any assistance she could...which in the scheme of things, she...

  25. New Grad pulled off orientation for a shift due to short staffing

    MostlysunnyRN replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    You've made a lot of valid points. I've been a nurse long enough to know (and unfortunately witness) how easily management tosses nurses, and staff in general, under the bus. I identified, along with...
