An interview!
I got a call for an interview today. It is for a stress lab and working in the nuclear med area. It’s a part time position but it’s an interview and a possible start. So I’m psyched. My interview is next Wednesday at 2 pm. It’s about an hour away but I can deal with …
Hello, jobs? Jobs?
I still haven’t found a job in nursing. I’m not giving up yet but it is a bit disheartening still to not have a job. I’ve been turned down for at least 15-20 jobs and have heard nothing from any GN residency programs from any of the hospitals to which I have applied. Who are …

Paul Piff, the scientist who conducted this experiment mentioned in the article published …
Nursing jobs, where are they?
It seems very difficult to find a nursing job. I have placed at least 10- 15 applications and been refused several due to lack of an RN license, or lack of experience. There are plenty of jobs out there. It’s rather disheartening to find the number of jobs which require 6 months, 12 months or …
