It ain't a Workin

Yesterday was a BAD day. Everyone in class has interviews at hospitals that I've applied for months ago! Most of these folks are people that have no other school than nursing school on thier resume....I'm thinking my 'diverse' educational background is a BAD thing! I did just what I thought I should do an apply online to all the places I wanted to work. Well that's a bunch of BULLshit. All the recruiters are these 60 year old bags that don't know a compter from a microwave. After grilling the people that have interviews I found out they all have gone to each hospital in person to fill out a paper application. WTF? What's the point of an internet application if you don't look at em, you old fuckers!

So I take off down to one hospital that some friends have interviews...and wait and wait....to be told that all thier internships are filled. I very nice, crazy (good crazy) woman said that they had 2 ER internships left but they were not accepting any more applications. I told her that I applied in JANUARY for the spot and even talked to a recruiter. What's wrong with my application??? What on my application says 'DON"T HIRE HIM.' So Jose and I chit chat with the woman, she gives us the name of another recruiter at a sister hospital and off we go. I'm DEPRESSED as fuck after that. I was gonna head down farther into Dallas to apply at Parkland but I was not in the mood for rejection.

On the way back to the country the crazy recruiter calls and says that she really enjoyed talking and thought it would be a big mistake to pass us up for interviews.....so she called the ER director and told him to interview us for the 2 remaining spots. That's great and all but they never called me....they called JOSE! WTF!

Bad turned to good when Parkland scheduled me for an interview for their ER.......and I relaxed a bit.

But I still can't figure out why I can't get in the door. It's like they want people with just thier associates degree.

I love Neuro! I'm on a neuro unit and I am eating it up. CVAs, TIAs, Seizures.............all so interesting. For the past three semesters I was on a Oncology floor and I KNOW cancer and it's complications like the back of my hand.

After clinicals today the Education staff at the Hospital wanted to teach us about delegation. About what we can and cannot tell other healthcare team members to do. It's great to be in the country because you get to hear educators say things like 'cain't' and 'axe' and 'shoulda' ....
