Looking for a Job

I was at the Texas Board of Nursing yesterday and saw the new nursing licenses being prepared for mailing. While there a discussion was ongoing regarding new nurses and it then led to first impressions and job hunting. A lady stated that she was contacting a potential new hire to gather information and she encountered the new nurse's phone message. There was music in the background containing very inappropriate language, so the lady just hung up and never called the nurse again. Be careful how your "personal" life impacts your career. In this situation, a nurse was deemed inappropriate for a position based on a vulgar phone message.
