The term New Grad RN seems to equate to unemployable these days. What about this growing shortage of RNs? So… I’m a New Grad, Dec ’09, then life happened and the RN didn’t get tacked on until a few weeks ago. Since then the job search has been disheartening, discouraging, demoralizing (redundant, I know, but I’m trying to make a point here). No experience, No job... Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200! And when did the application process become so impersonal? Please fill out the online application, do not contact us, we will contact you, that is when and if we deem you worthy of communication. These HR departments are making me crazy!! It was like pulling teeth talking to one recruiter, apparently the Chief Nursing Officer’s name and number are top secret, eff that.
Why do some people have to be so difficult…
One call to the very helpful hospital directory assistance lady and I had the CNO’s name, number, office location, email, her favorite movie, and how she likes her coffee …
Thank you to the very helpful hospital directory assistance lady, if I get the job* I will find you and say it in person, maybe even give you a hug.
So for now it’s back behind the bar, unless Mae and Kona (my canine and feline companions) are finding jobs…didn’t think so…
I swore I would not be returning to the bar scene, geez, my Danskos have barely even dried out and the martini elbow is still acting up, but here I am, Your Bartender, RN.
*Emergency Dept. 7p-7a… wish me luck!
