   DNPBrookie replied to KBnurse2B's topic in New Nurse

   Also, this is just a side note, but once you apply, answer every phone call! I know of at least two people from my program who missed the call from the recruiter and by the time they returned it I think all of the interviews had been scheduled. Now t...

   DNPBrookie replied to mommyoftwinks's topic in Arizona

   Hey all, I just wanted to say that they've been talking about this program since before I started at ASU! Not that it won't happen, but I would just get in where you can. I had a previous degree in business and was advised of this program and they we...

   DNPBrookie replied to KBnurse2B's topic in New Nurse

   Hi all, I wanted to check in regarding my interview. The interviewers were such nice ladies it was difficult to tell how I did! I think I could have said anything and they would have still been great... so who knows!? They put me at ease and it was v...

   DNPBrookie replied to KBnurse2B's topic in New Nurse

   I wasn't offered an interview for med/surg but I believe I specified ICU and ED when I applied if I remember correctly so that may have been why. I honestly answered the call thinking it was someone else so I was not mentally prepared to ask question...

   Perfect I will do that! Thanks so much! And then I guess I will be in the waiting game with everyone else. Hopefully this is the last round and they don't keep us suffering too long!

11. Who is writing the job postings??

    DNPBrookie posted a topic in Arizona

    I just need to vent! I am graduating in May and therefore have started my quest for that unicorn of the nursing world: The New Grad Job. In my search I am using engines such as Indeed, Monster, etc. One would think that by using terms such as "New Gr...

12. 18 July 2010 ODS? (Navy)

    DNPBrookie replied to meg314's topic in Government

    So that confirms my feeling that there should be something I can do to start the process prior to actually graduating. Hmmm. I guess I'll wait until the new fiscal year and but him again. Maybe then he'll want to help lol. Scuba, I want to go to San...

13. 18 July 2010 ODS? (Navy)

    DNPBrookie replied to meg314's topic in Government

    Can I just ask if you all entered via direct accession or the NCP? I'm going to graduate May 2011 and I'm very interested in the Navy. Because I want to do direct accession rather than NCP my recruiter is basically telling me I'll have a slim chance ...

15. Any ASU Fall '09 Hopefulls out there?

    DNPBrookie replied to determined 2succeed's topic in Arizona

    Congrats to you! I was considering the LPN route if I didn't get in this time so I agree that any program is great right now. The plus of the associates program is that you'll probably be able to get your employer to pay for your BSN bridge program. ...
