  1. Relocation Advice?!

    Spuen replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    So small update. Texas called HR person is supposed to be back today but no contact yet. Also, I went to look over the Emails from the Illinois job and noticed that the persons Email was linked to a...

  2. Confronted about charting at patient's school

    Spuen replied to doodlebuttRN's topic in Private Duty

    I wish you luck in sorting everything out! Sometimes people just want to micromanage everything. Teachers and school staff shouldn't have a say in what you write in your notes especially if parents...

  3. Confronted about charting at patient's school

    Spuen replied to doodlebuttRN's topic in Private Duty

    As said above it it probably best to contact your supervisor about the issue. I have had issues in school nursing before, not the same but similar, and it's better if you speak to them before the...

  4. Relocation Advice?!

    Spuen replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah that's pretty much what I'm doing. I have a car but something tells me it'll take me a while to get to work since icy roads are a whole new experience. Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing someplace...

  5. Nurse Recruiters yay or nay?

    Spuen posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So this is partially just a general question but how likely are you go get a job working with a recruiter vs applying directly to the hospital? Specifics for asking the question: I have just recently...

  6. Relocation Advice?!

    Spuen replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    That is very true, I guess it's the overly cautious side of me which causes a lot of "what ifs" to pop up. Like what if I wanted to go to texas? I guess it doesn't matter quite as much... once I have...

  7. Thinking about leaving nursing school

    Spuen replied to lsand22's topic in General Nursing

    Much like AuDDoc says sometimes your first rotation doesn't seem like a good fit. I started nursing school back when I was in highschool it was in a ALF it was really rough and I honestly didn't like...

  8. Relocation Advice?!

    Spuen replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't aware but I kind of figured if they were willing to pay relocation for such a small hospital that they really need nurses and not many people wanted to go out there. The recruiter did...

    Spuen replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    The town is not on the border but close enough, near Crystal City. Thank you for the warning though. I've applied at other places in Texas as well but haven't heard

    Congratulations on getting the job! That's wonderful. I've been looking for 3 years finally got a break through looking outside of Florida so persistence is key in the

  11. Nursing is a passion?

    Spuen replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've been studying to be a nurse since I was 14, in high school. So I would say it's a passion of mine. I know I might be in the minority here but despite searching for 3 years for a full time job and...

  12. Relocation Advice?!

    Spuen replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    I've always loved nursing. I was in a LPN program in high school so I ended up taking the accelerated program for my Associates. My bachelors I haven't been able to finish because of money and I am...

  13. Relocation Advice?!

    Spuen replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the feed back! The interview with Illinois is Monday, it's with the floor hiring manager. If I make it past that they fly me to spring field for a final interview and shadowing (by that...

  14. who believes persistence is key?

    Spuen replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've been trying to find a job for 3 years. So hundreds of applications to the same hospitals, same departments over and over again. It was always hit or miss. No department ever interviewed me twice....

    Thank you for the advise. Yeah I just turned 26, but my current job pays very little and Miami is ridiculously
