    Hiring manager offered position, HR said no and won't tell me why.

    Sour Lemon replied to MiloRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if one of your "good" references didn't have the nerve to be honest with you about their opinion(s). That's the only thing that makes sense to me as a

    Is it best for the new nurse to start with night shift?

    Sour Lemon replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I never worked days, but was required to orient on days as a new graduate for several months. I'm a night person and always have been, so that's how I chose my preferred shift. At night, there are...

    Job hunting

    Sour Lemon replied to Starr223's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, that's not easy either ...because they know you'll pack up and leave as soon as your license does come through. A temp job that requires very little to no training would probably be...

    Job hunting

    Sour Lemon replied to Starr223's topic in General Nursing

    You may apply anywhere that will accept your application without a license. Most employers want a license in hand before they'll bother with you, though. They are well aware of how long it can take

    Sour Lemon replied to Imnotasailor's topic in General Students

    If you're already having difficulty, piling more on your "to do" list is probably not going to help. I would speak to someone in the nursing department and see if you have any realistic chance at all....

    Long interview and waiting to go back

    Sour Lemon replied to ILoveHorsesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was once told that peer interviews help prevent the staff from "attacking" newcomers. It makes them feel as if they hired you, so they're more likely to help you be successful. I'm not sure how true...

    Sour Lemon replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Students

    I took out 40K in loans while getting my ADN, but I lived off it as well as paying for school. In my case, it was the only way I could get ahead. Despite the loan payments, my standard of living went...

    Starting nursing school this fall. Any tips?

    Sour Lemon replied to Jeage's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you have assigned textbooks, start reading. Get a drug calculation book and start looking over that, too. A lot of programs seem to require high or perfect scores on drug calculation tests. People...

    Yes. There are already countless positions like that, but the girls have to be younger and thinner. It's up to me to decide if I want to buy what they're selling or otherwise do business with

    Robots, automation, and A.I. tech to replace nurses?

    Sour Lemon replied to DannyBoy8's topic in General Nursing

    Both. By the time we get to that point (if we do), everything in society will be so completely different that it's not worth while to trouble-shoot at this point. It's like trying to pick out a hat to...

    Loss of all personal freedom.

    Sour Lemon replied to Runnerlives's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it would depend on my perspective at any given moment. I'd love to be free to do whatever I'd like as an employee, but doesn't "personal freedom" apply to the people doing the hiring,

    Did I ruin my chances?

    Sour Lemon replied to ladder22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools accept retakes and some do not. Some average the retaken grade and original grade together. Check with the program you're interested in and see what they look for. You're down, but you...

    Most places are not interested in hiring people who can't start for several months. I would try applying closer to the date that you're actually available. You should probably apply at hospitals and...
