   onehusbandsevenkids replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Kentucky

   Well, I made it through LPN school, so RN can't be much worse.....or can it? Especially at EKU! Ha! BTW the husband is now gone, after 14 years, and three of the kids are now 20, 18, and 18. I think they've exhausted about all of my brain cells!

   onehusbandsevenkids replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Kentucky

   Well, it went okay. I was rear-ended earlier in the day so my mind was a bit distracted. I could have interviewed better, but oh well, what do you do after the fact?! It's routinely up to a 4 week hiring process since its a State job, so now its just...

   This is my first nursing job interview and I am soooooooo nervous. Has anyone interviewed there? If so, can you tell me about it? Was it just one person or a "team" of people at the interview? What kinds of questions were asked? Ugh. I am not good in...

    onehusbandsevenkids replied to nurturer's topic in New Nurse

    I don't know anyone that studied that much, or even close to that to be honest with you. Like the other posters have said, though, it's specific to the individual and circumstances. Good luck!

    onehusbandsevenkids replied to palee's topic in Kentucky

    This is great for new grads, however for those of us, like myself and some fellow students, it's too little, too late! The BON should have made sure there were ample facilities ready, willing and able to take on all of these students needing an addit...
