    Peds/PICU/NICU advice?

    PediLove2147 replied to elizanne's topic in Pediatric

    What an amazing opportunity. Maybe shadowing on each unit to get an idea of what a shift might be like? I personally would start in general med-surg (peds) and move to PICU later down the road once I...

    Should I feel bad?

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reassurance. Unfortunately it is a small agency so they aren't always able to provide a nurse on our days off. They do try but it's hard to find a nurse who is willing to train on the...

    How do I get nurse recruiters to call me back?

    PediLove2147 replied to pitaya's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Uh yeah! I agree, try e-mailing. I have always had better luck with e-mailing. Hope you get a hold of someone. You don't have to say why, I am just curious.. why the big move? It sounds like you have...

    First Job

    PediLove2147 posted a topic in Pediatric

    I am graduating in a few weeks and I am very interested in pediatrics. Everyone that I talk to says I should get adult med-surg experience first. I guess I am just trying to get some feedback. I guess...

    My first job rejection!

    PediLove2147 replied to kujomonster's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got that e-mail a couple of weeks ago after interviewing for my dream job. It sucks, I know. Definetely don't stop applying to that hospital (if that's where you want to be) since different managers...

    Two job offers...torn on which to choose - advice?

    PediLove2147 replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    There is only a 13 mile difference between the two jobs and you will be driving to the further one much more so in my opinion it comes down to what kind of job you would be happier doing not which has...

    multi-state compact help!

    PediLove2147 replied to WogM's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really have any input since I don't live in a compact state but I just wanted to say, that really sucks that they gave your job away! It's hard to believe that they couldn't wait 2 weeks,...

    New Grad RN: Home Health or Wait it Out??

    PediLove2147 replied to MBrickle's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was in the same position a year ago! I was nervous I would be limiting myself but it's been a year and I am no closer to finding a job in acute care. Thank god I took the job, I would be waiting...

    Which job for a new grad sounds more appealing?

    PediLove2147 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely med-surg oncology. I do private duty peds and I am bored out of my mind! I started as a new grad so I don't have "acute care" experience and therefore cannot get another job. You can always...

    Is this a policy for other agencies too?

    PediLove2147 posted a topic in Private Duty

    I know a lot of people work for several agencies in order to get more hours. At my agency (pretty small, privately owned) there is a policy that if you work for a case for them (my agency) you cannot...

    I would definitely follow up. They may still be interviewing the first batch of people but be prepared also to possibly hear they have already filled the position. Unfortunately, sometimes when they...

    payscales are secrets huh?

    PediLove2147 replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of hospitals won't discuss pay until the interview and some until you actually have a job offer. I have never seen pay discussed in a job posting, I think you are spoiled in that aspect. If you...

    I had one today and it was as bad as in person interviews! I hate interviewing, I am horrible at saying what I am thinking, without falling over my words. I did like that I could have a "cheat sheet"...

    PediLove2147 replied to learning&yearning's topic in General Nursing

    I hate interviews for the very reason you stated, "I don't know what to think." Honestly, you never can tell how an interview went. I had an interview the other day and I thought I nailed it, couldn't...
