   OhioRN2011 replied to NayD_RN's topic in General Nursing

   OhioRN2011 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in New Nurse

   Not sure if this will help you, but ours had a lot of developmental stages questions. This test was my lowest (level 2) and the most difficult. I wasn't a note take either, I just read, re-read, highlighted, read again, then looked over my highlights...

    OhioRN2011 replied to pishoncna's topic in General Nursing

    OhioRN2011 replied to OhioRN2011's topic in New Nurse

    Thanks for all your thoughts on this. At the hospital I interviewed with the manager of the unit, not HR. I wasn't expecting to hear from the hospital just yet anyway. She let me know that she had other interviews to do this week. The LTC also said s...
