Hi Fellow Nurses, I just started a job as a nurse working on Medicare appeals and grievances. I LOVE this job!! I haven't had a good employment track record. I HAVE TO MAKE THIS WORK. (yes I just started therapy). Can you please give me any pear...

Hello, Thank you for responding. Do you have a research position at U of M? I'm taking some newbie clinical trial courses for free on Coursera. Namaste

Hello everyone, I accepted a job at Aerotek Scientific as a clinical research coordinator with a university doing a COVID vaccine clinical trial. I have a BSN and have always wanted to be a research nurse. They told me it's 3 months to permanent posi...

Have you tried buying them online from sites such as Alibaba? They sell them in bulk.

Well, I have great news, I have a phone interview with U of M tomorrow morning! I was first contacted by the ambulatory transplant center. I'll be speaking with a recruiter tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I have a job shadow & team interview next week with U of Michigan. I want this job SO bad. Can anyone give me any advise? Does any one know what the culture is like there? Do they prefer one kind of personality type to others as far as RN's are c...

First, I hope everyone is safe and well. My medical leave of absence is ending on 3/25/20. I don't know if I can return to the unit I was at because I had performance issues related to my husband's death. HR told me I have 30 days from 3/25 to find ...

Understandably this is a very emotional time for you and physically painful. During moments like these, sometimes people make drastic decisions that they otherwise wouldn't do. Before you throw in the towel on nursing as a profession, why don't you c...

I feel absolutely devastated and abandoned by my current unit. After my husband dies unexpectedly just five months ago, that on top of everything else, I have to worry about getting a new job to support my child and myself.

I have a phone interview next week for another position at the hospital where I work. Hopefully it goes well. Honestly, I don't want to have to start at a new hospital and go through the orientation period, more preceptors, having to change/transfer ...

To 'Just Me', yes I feel I am mentally and physically read to return to work. I wouldn't go back to work unless I knew 100% that I am ready to give safe and competent care to my patients. I wouldn't put my license and livelihood on the line like that...

Thank you for the great advise. I have done a lot of research and put everything in a notebook. Unfortunately, my interview was postponed until April because of COVID-19.

Thank you very much.

I have a job interview tomorrow that I really want. It's in another state because my husband passed away not too long ago, and I need to be closer to family for childcare reasons. If they ask me why I'm relocating should I mention that? Why or why no...

I'm not going to tell them about my husband, just that I'm relocating. I got a call half way to the interview and I got a call saying that they had to cancel the interview because of the coronavirus. They said they still want to interview me and the...

You got it, I totally understand. Less personal information is better. Thank you

I definitely won't bring it up unless the relocating thing comes up.I hope they don't though. Thank you.

Hello, I'm on FMLA until 3/12. I went back on leave because I'm not dealing well with my husband's unexpected passing on 9/19/19 at 50, and we have a 12 yr old. I have no family, so the childcare thing is impossible. I already went through 3 people. ...

I had a long phone call with my daughter's 6th grade teacher a couple of days ago. She said her and another teacher at her school would take care of her when I'm at work if I have to work 3 12-hr shifts. I don't know if that's enough of a deal to kee...

I have a job shadow & team interview next week with U of M. I want that job SO bad. Can anyone give me any advise? Does any one know what the culture is like there? Do they prefer one kind of personality type to others as far as RN's are concerne...

Everyone's having really good valid points. Yeah, I feel bad having my daughter move to another school. But I don't have close enough friends and I can't afford to pay someone $100-200 per day to take care of her. I have the emotional support in OH, ...

Hello Everybody, sorry I've been MIA. My daughter and I are Michigan right now. It's been a challenge living with my dad. But my daughter likes living with my 10 yr old nephew. There are 4 RN career fairs in March. I really want to go to one of them...

Thank you, that's a good idea. I'll just start applying for ANY nursing job. I should be able to get one quick, maybe a per diem job. I kind of want to everything to calm down, and then we'll make the decision about moving. You all are great, thanks.

I have a 12 yr old daughter. She found him in our basement and is traumatized, taking zoloft and hydroxyzine for anxiety. I can't leave her alone for hours. I have spoken with her and she has mixed feelings. I will definitely take her input into acco...

Business hours would be the best situation. To be honest, when I went on leave I was at the tail end of my orientation period. My manager had a meeting with me to evaluate how I was doing and she said I was "struggling" right now in orientation. My p...
