It’s quite easy after 6 months on a desk. Very hard in interviews. And there are always people who surprise you.

It really depends. Had an analyst on my team a few years back who had a great resume and interviewed well but couldn’t hack it once he came on board. Bad time management, couldn’t think creatively/on his feet, etc

Can usually tell after a few weeks of work, but it’s a confidence interval type thing. The longer the time, the more certain you become. I’ve seen some people who I thought couldn’t cut it after a few weeks completely change after 3 months in and have become very successful. While others who start strong tire out and lose motivation or give up.

I’d say 6-9 months is really the sweet spot for when your mind is made up

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.
