3. what to do

   PutToSleep! replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think you have to stay at any place for a year. Why not look for another job if your so disatisfied? It wouldn't hurt to try. Remember attitude is everything. Try to stay positive and people will see you are doing your best even though you ma...

   PutToSleep! replied to josephj's topic in SRNA

   The test was challenging. Either I knew it or didn't. They didn't ask me about current topics but your interview could be different than mine. From what I understand there are different students and faculty that participate at different times. My int...

   Thanks LNeonurse! I did retake my general chemistry and A&P this past summer and received As. That was the only thing they did mention in regards to my grades/transcript and said that was "really good and would help a lot" (with school). So I def...

    Beam8: Thanks! If I remember right they said that traveling to clinical rotations is up to 3 hrs away (I think). As I understood it your not required to stay (unless on call) they do give you free room/board at the facility while your there for the w...

    PutToSleep! replied to josephj's topic in SRNA

    The interview itself is relaxed and they don't drill you. Just get to know you stuff. Practice answering your questions out loud because saying your answers is a lot harder than just thinking about what you want to say. That seemed to really help me....
