  1. Need shoe advice!

    I love my Birkenstock clogs--I have the "Boston" style, in white.
  2. Do you get Exam Reviews?

    Our program does allow exam reviews--after all sections have taken their tests and after the instructors have reviewed the results and posted our scores. Our instructors stated in our orientation to our senior year that they feel we learn a great dea...
  3. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    One of our instructors gave a GI lecture and talked about the digestive track...
  4. What do you think of this comment?

    So--here's an update: I interviewed for a Nursing Assistant position at another hospital, and left my educational background on my resume, because I really feel it is a part of my qualifications. I was interviewed by two women, one from human resour...
  5. Thank you letter after job offer?

    :specs:Right on! Can you tell I tend to overthink things sometimes?! Thanks for your level-headed responses.
  6. Can anyone give me any advice about whether or not I should send a thank you letter after I've accepted a job offer? I interviewed last Thursday, promptly wrote thank you letters to the two interviewers, which they probably received Tuesday because M...
  7. Am I weird?

    I completely agree. I have actually suggested this to a few of my friends, who also find it helpful!! I take a bath every night, and I pick a topic that I need to work on, and it just seems to sink in!!:chuckle Osmosis, right?
  8. What do you think of this comment?

    Thanks for all of the advice; I really appreciate hearing everyone's take on the situation. :)
  9. What do you think of this comment?

    Timing probably wasn't an issue--I was among the first to get my application in--this interview was back in February for a position that starts in June. As far as being overqualified, well, I'm a nursing student applying for a nursing student extern...
  10. What do you think of this comment?

    Yes, I'd call this area rural suburban--former farming/industrial area now attempting to adjust...I've been here three years, and I didn't grow up here, so I don't know a lot of people. I really would feel dishonest hiding my education. And I don't m...
  11. What do you think of this comment?

    Thanks for the replies, and not just because I feel vindicated. The whole experience of interviewing for the nurse extern position seemed to go so well--and then many of the positions ended up going to people who know someone at the hospital, or who ...
  12. I just finished my first year of nursing school, and after our finals on Monday we all went to a local restaurant for a little fundraiser. I was talking to my professors, and they asked what I would be doing this summer...I told them I wasn't sure ye...
  13. (VERY long!) In a dilemma...need advice! :(

    Yes, some schools do have very stringent policies regarding past transcripts. They may see failure to provide all transcripts as an ethical violation.
  14. ATI testing

    I'm in my second semester of a four semester ADN program. We use ATI, and our school has a 96-99% pass rate for the past several years, which I think reflects, to some degree, the predicitive nature of passing the ATI tests. We have to pass each modu...
  15. the RN's appearance

    I'm not against it in principle, but there are some people who just can't seem to control themselves when they've got gum. I think we all have to abstain because the few crackers, smackers, poppers, and open-mouthed chewers have gone too far....:anbd...
