   I had my interview yesterday and it wasn't bad. The interview was conducted by 2 nurse managers from 2 different units. It was pretty laid back. They asked a lot of questions drawing from previous experiences. For example, "tell me about a time when ...

4. St. clair hospital anyone have advice

   YCAussie replied to jenniferussell's topic in Pennsylvania

   I don't know much about how difficult it is to get a job there, but I would assume it is fairly difficult. The FBC itself only has about 10 rooms in the new section, and a few extra rooms for busy nights. Because it is so small, I would imagine that ...

   YCAussie replied to YCAussie's topic in General Nursing

   I already have one on my wrist that I got about a month ago. It is on my left wrist, so I was planning on wearing a watch to cover that one. I was just hesitant to get one on the other wrist since it will be more difficult to hide..(can't exactly wea...
