  1. Unit mgr interview help

    I am being considered because of my management experience as well as being an internal candidate. None of the things you mentioned are new to me and also have nothing to do with length of time as a nurse. A person can be a nurse for twenty years and ...
  2. Unit mgr interview help

    Ok all- I need some advice on how to rock my upcoming interview. I have been an RN for about 8 months, but have 9 years of management experience in my "previous life" and was elected class President in nursing school. I am always finding myself the "...
  3. Anyone? Anyone?

    Hi all- I'm currently attending OUZ, and biting my nails to see if I was accepted into RN ADN program for Spring 2011. I'm freaking out because they met early this week...but as of yesterday (Thurs) letters had not been mailed out. WHY THE WAIT??? Th...
  8. I agree, that's a joke to spend that much money. Like I said, I spent $400 on my class to get my STNA (CNA) license, plus the state testing fees, and I have been an aide for six months and I start at a hospital on Monday in the ER. It's not easy here...
  9. I am not sure how this works, if it goes by region or what, I am new to this posting. I am in Central Ohio. I went to My Tees on Cleveland Ave and it was a three week every day course for $400. They were very very thorough. It was better for me to su...
