Hello,
Does anybody have any advice about new entry level, new grad interview questions for the ER? I am moving to Omaha and would love nothing more than to be an ER Nurse. It is my passion and lifelong dream to pursue that type of specialty. Down the line I would like to work my way up to be a flight nurse. I have a scheduled interview in Omaha at UNMC in December and any advice would be highly appreciative. I want this more than anything in the world and have been waiting for an opportunity for me to finally get a chance. Out of many applicants they narrowed the applicants to 20 and there are 2 open positions. What would it take for me to sell myself to prove to them that I should be a potential candidate. I have great references and I have only been a nurse for 9 months and currently working in a skilled rehab nursing home facility. That is all that was available to me in Massachusetts and I figured any experience is better than no experience especially in this economy. Besides it gave me the confidence to know that I am able to do just about anything if I put my mind and effort into it. I am also going to be enrolled in a Nurse to EMT course offered by Creighton University in April. It is a one week course and then I want to enroll in the Nurswe to Paramedic program as well. Hopefully those 2 things willl help to help me get one step closer to pursuing my dream. I know that everyone will say that they will ask strengths and weaknesses? What type of behavioral or scenario questions would they possible ask a new nurse? I would hope that they know that we are entry level and have not experienced a lot of things yet but all we can do is learn and adapt to whatever we are faced with. So any advice that could be helpful would be great. I look forward to hearing back from someone out there.
Thanks,

I have decided to pursue nursing, but would like some insight on CSM's program. This is my first semester there, so I don't know any nursing students to ask. I've spoken with the Director and gotten all the info I could pretaining to requirements, etc. Did anybody attend CSM for nursing?:spin: ]]> Nebraska Nurses MzRN2B http://allnurses.com/nebraska-nurses/college-saint-mary-440432.html http://allnurses.com/nebraska-nurses/cna-programs-438417-new.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:21:16 GMT Hi Everyone,

I'm new here and feeling a little overwhelmed. I've been searching for CNA programs here in Omaha that are free or VERY inexpensive and the cheapest I've found is around $450. I cannot afford that. If anybody has any info, please, please let me know. I have not started nursing school yet, but I would like to work to gain experience and make some money because I also have a child. Thanks in Advance. ]]> Nebraska Nurses MzRN2B http://allnurses.com/nebraska-nurses/cna-programs-438417.html http://allnurses.com/nebraska-nurses/has-anyone-taken-437565-new.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:59:25 GMT Just wondering if anyone has taken Nutrition at Metro and if so, did you take it online or in... Just wondering if anyone has taken Nutrition at Metro and if so, did you take it online or in class? Doesn't look like they have too many classes but quite a few online courses for it. Just wondering what you thought of it and how much work it was? The last half of the class will overlap with A&P II and I don't want to be overwhelmed. Would appreciate anyone's input who has taken it. THanks! ]]> Nebraska Nurses lizl123 http://allnurses.com/nebraska-nurses/has-anyone-taken-437565.html http://allnurses.com/nebraska-nurses/creighton-vs-clarkson-436860-new.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:54:44 GMT Hey!

I am currently a student at the University of Iowa for a traditional BSN and am considering transferring. I have looked into Creighton, Clarkson, and Nebraska Methodist. I don't know much about the programs. I applied to Creighton to enter there from high school but turned CU down because it was too expensive and gave me too many loans. Clarkson and Methodist are cheaper than Creighton. I am wondering what program is a better choice and will give me the best experience I need?
Thanks! ]]> Nebraska Nurses mrtaylr http://allnurses.com/nebraska-nurses/creighton-vs-clarkson-436860.html
