2. Cleveland Clinic - Physical Capability Assessment

   maria25 replied to maria25's topic in Ohio

   Thanks CCU - that makes me feel a little better! I was actually surprised to see people in other threads mention that their pre-employment physical asked for LMP - I would have never even thought they'd ask that! Oh, we are very excited - been tryin...

3. Long hair for interviews

   maria25 replied to maria25's topic in New Nurse

   haha - I won't even run up to the grocery store looking like that so no worries about showing up at an interview in such a state. Thanks for all the opinions! I wore it down to my interviews and up for my shadowing and was offered a position yesterd...

5. Cleveland Clinic - Physical Capability Assessment

   maria25 replied to maria25's topic in Ohio

   Thanks for your response! I'm actually not even 8 weeks yet - I think I should be fine, but will still double check with my dr. My assessment appointment isn't until next week. I've seen some people mention (in other threads) that their hospitals a...

   Congrats on your pregnancy! I am in a similar situation as I just accepted a position as a new grad - and found I was pregnant that evening. I'm only 4 weeks along (will be 6W when I start), so it's still quite early, but I'm uncertain how to handl...

   maria25 replied to nursejaneRN's topic in Job Hunt

   Robin, don't get too discouraged! I also graduated in May, took NCLEX in July and had ONE interview in 2011 that did not result in an offer. However, in the last 2 weeks, I have had phone interviews with three recruiters leading to 2 face-to-face i...

10. Interview thank you notes

    maria25 replied to maria25's topic in New Nurse

    Glad to hear so many in favor of email. I had another interview this week followed by shadowing today. I was pretty much given an informal offer today. I want to send a thank you for the shadowing opportunity and would like it to get there before ...

11. Long hair for interviews

    maria25 replied to maria25's topic in New Nurse

    Thanks for all the opinions. For my first interview I pulled just the sides back so nothing was in my face, but it wasn't "up" either. For some reason, I think pony tails are informal and an updo/bun is too formal for an interview. I recently cut ...

    Is it alright to send a thank you note via email if the manager provided their email during the interview? Or should it be sent via snail mail?

15. Long hair for interviews

    maria25 posted a topic in New Nurse

    Obviously while working on a floor, I pull my hair back/put it in a pony tail. But for interviews, do you think it is alright to wear your hair down? Or should it be pulled back for interviewing as well? It's not like I'll be doing pt care and I a...
