2. Interview Attire?

   csm99 replied to ZooGurl3's topic in New Nurse

   I have worn a pants suit to all of my interviews. I think it's the best way to go. The Limited has some very nice ones and they aren't too expensive. They have traditional ones and short sleeve ones for spring/summer.

3. Accepting two job offers then turning one down later?

7. Need some advice from nurses about accepting internships...

   csm99 replied to csm99's topic in General Nursing

   It seems like it's a pretty common problem, so I'm a little surprised that there weren't more responses. I just wish my top choice hospital was not my last interview. That makes things tough because if I don't get that job I would be SOL if I didn...

   Well, this isn't exactly true in nursing. That is the beauty. There are so many choices and paths to take.

9. Need some advice from nurses about accepting internships...

   csm99 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm just wondering, is it bad to accept all of the offers that you get, then when you decide at the end, just decline the ones you don't want? It's just kind of a tough decision as it is, and it doesn't help that the offers that I have received want...
