Tips to getting Hired

So you finally got those letters after your name. Congratulations! Just when you thought the hard part was over, you may discover that getting the actual job is pretty tough. Don't worry, it will happen, try not to get too panicked about it. In the meantime, I have compiled some tips and tricks that helped me to get hired at my "most wanted" location just 6 months out of nursing school.  I know you can do it, you finished nursing school and became a Nurse! Nothing can stop you now, plus I'm rooting for you! Take a deep breath, YOU GOT THIS! Getting that interview/Jobs tips from the episode: * Start making contacts early * Make sure you have the right experience  * Send gifts * Keep learning * Get Certified * Don't overdo it * Remember who you know * Ask for help * Update that resume * Stay Positive

I'm not a nurse, I just play one on T.V.

Situation: People pretending to be bedside nurses when they really aren't Background: Nursing is a well-respected profession that just won (for the 21st year in a row) the most trusted and ethical job in the Nation. So how about we all stop pretending to be registered nurses and treat them like people? Assessment: After careful deliberation, all the nurses on the unit agreed that the person claiming to be a nurse, might have been exaggerating a little bit. Recommendation: Don't pretend to be a nurse! We know when you're lying   Have you ever had someone tell you they were a nurse only to find out they aren't? Maybe they work in the healthcare sector but they don't actually possess a nursing license? You would be surprised to know this happens a lot in the hospital and there's really nothing we can do about it. This episode highlights what it's like for nurses when community members claim to be nurses when they really aren't. The goal is to raise awareness and remind the great pretenders to keep the drama at home. The hospital has enough going on as is. Enjoy!

Goodbye 2022! Happy New Year!

I'm back, after sitting down with myself to figure out what was holding me back from creating this podcast I realized that it was ME! In this episode I talk about what happened in healthcare post-pandemic madness and welcome the new year with new goals to hopefully inspire all you healthcare heroes out there.  It's early but if you like the show so far or just want to support another nurse please take the time to rate, and subscribe. I'd also love suggestions or topics you would like to hear about and if you are a student or just a nurse with questions I can answer those too.  Catch Ya later xoxo Brandi
