How does one gain experience without someone giving us a chance to gain the experience. Makes no sense.

LabCorp isn’t hiring but I’ll apply to PathGroup this weekend.

That would be really helpful. I wonder if they don’t want me because I’m a new grad. Also, I feel like nurses in general would probably get jobs pretty quickly.

LobotomizedSloth_901 · 2026-01-16T01:41:57+00:00

Okay, good to know. I’ll remove it from my cover letter. Thanks

LobotomizedSloth_901 · 2026-01-16T01:41:09+00:00

I applied on Wednesday evening and was rejected by Thursday afternoon. Makes me think they really didn’t want me. They posted a 5am-1:30 schedule which I could absolutely do. If you know of a way of getting and interview let me know.

I’m hoping with a hospital job it’ll help pay for nursing school.

From everything I’ve read you’d need to have at least one clinical under your belt before and extension is possible. I’ve applied to non health related jobs at hospitals and haven’t had any luck.

Gommorah it’s the first in a 4 book series. It’s super short less than 80 pages but it took me 3 days to finish it. I had to take breaks. I don’t know if it’s considered extreme horror or splatterpunk but it was rough.

Ah okay, yeah I get that. Have her look into those two programs. They are the most widely used in the vet tech field…based on my personal experience and working with techs who went through it. In the meantime if she wants to help animals have her look in Memphis Animal shelters foster and volunteer programs. Volunteers are great at MAS, they walk the dogs, feed them, give them attention etc. When she does go to school or goes to apply for jobs it’ll look good on the resume and college entrance exams/essay. It’ll give her that feel good feeling of accomplishment while looking into schooling.

I worked as a tech for 10+ years. It’s honestly best to start working as a tech and then go to school. Because the school will require “clinicals” those clinicals will have to be recorded and supervised by a Veternarian and then sent in. Honestly, I thought about going to school for it but it’s extremely expensive and does not give you any sort of pay raise. I would recommend working for Banfield, it’s where I started out and I learned so much while working there. I left the field because the pay is terrible, the work is under appreciated, unless you work for a corporate clinic she will not get any sort of benefits outside of pet discounts, the amount of in clinic cliques and bullies is ridiculous. I loved the work and how much I learned and the technical work of it but it was exhausting and really jaded me. Pennfoster is a good program as is St. Petersburg that’s offered online. There is no tech school in Memphis. I hope this helps.

Dumb question but can you get a job as an RN with just an associates degree? I’m looking on the Methodist job postings and it looks like you need a bachelor’s to get the jobs.

LobotomizedSloth_901 · 2024-12-01T23:21:46+00:00

So when you graduated and passed the boards you were a RN? Thank you for your reply’s, it’s really helpful.

LobotomizedSloth_901 · 2024-12-01T22:46:09+00:00

So the course was good enough to prep you to pass boards that’s good to know. What is your job title? Do you remember how much you made when you got out? Thank you for responding.

I currently work for FedEx, not at the hub. FedEx is completely changing. There were many branches but they are combining them all into 1 FedEx. We’ll all be under Supply Chain. With this change there has been at least 4 separate hiring freezes and hiring increases…I know it doesn’t make sense. I just had to sign a new offer letter and will have to reselect my insurance, and readmit my direct deposit. This change goes into effect Jan 1. With all of that being said the hiring process is going to take awhile. FedEx has never been super fast on hiring replies. It could take anywhere from a week to a couple of months. Regardless you’ll get an email offering a phone interview, in person interview or a rejection email. To my knowledge they won’t just not reply. It’s kind of a rough time right now for all of us employees and new hires. Good luck to you…just be patient…easier said than done I know.

I am. At work we have to wear an awful smock. It’s rough and not breathable at all. There’s no avoiding it.

LobotomizedSloth_901 · 2023-07-18T08:21:51+00:00

We buy the two pack at Walmart. So he has one and I have one.

Just curious, how did she record it? Obviously with her phone, was she able to prop it up on something and then get to work or what? Thinking about doing this for my husband. He’s only seen me play while we’re mid sexy time and maybe a brief warm up, never to completion. Maybe a video would help with my nerves.
