I am a new grad in the same position, but I have gotten personal call backs and emails, and had my resume looked over by hiring managers (in other careers) and by two dons, so it's a little strong ... I guess it's just my over the phone and online in...
Sorry that happened to you and made you feel all bad! I definately think questions are good, but just remember there is a time and place for asking questions. We were told we would automaticall fail clinicals if we asked a question in front of a pati...

My mom always told me, when asking for something you need, the worst response you can get is no, or a laugh with a no. So shoot for it, if the worse you will get is a no. I live in Dallas and I have been doing it. I was told by HR here and in El Pa...
Sad to hear about your accident, but thankfully, nursing has different careers inside of nursing. I always thought forensic nursing sounded cool! What about a nursing instructor or camp nurse over the summers. I hope it all works out for you!!!! :)

AND THIS TO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!! You will do fine next time. I must say that exactly the content you described is right. IDK if you did a lot of book studying, but I have noticed that people who do book studying as much as questions don't always do th...

I am so sorry this happened to you! I am a new grad too applying for jobs, and I was told I would have one before I graduated because I was a patient at the hospital for 18 years and I volunteered there faithfully and that when they posted the app fo...

I don't have a good poop one, but I got a good bloody one! When I was in nursing school I was in the pre-op for surgery helping all the patients get ready, and this one nurse couldn't stick a patient, so they called me in to see if I could get it to ...
YOU CAN DO IT! I had people with lots of kids, all kinds of kids, sick (lived in the hospital sick) kids, newborns, etc, in my class. Oddly those were the people with A's! It's not easy and can be really hard at times, but it's possible! You just hav...

I agree with the HR departments not being in the hospital. Like Parkland here in Dallas. I was just going to go to my top three hospitals to speak with NMs, with scrubs on, resume in hand as many of people on here have been advising people to do. I d...

Thanks! I am going to wear business attire when I get an interview. I had just read on allnurses, that people who went to the actual hospital to talk to DONs and NMs wore scrubs, and a lot of them got jobs that way. I've never heard of doing that unt...
Hi guys! So I have been reading post on here unregistered for about a year, and I finally just decided to get registered to ask a question. Background: I went to college out of state, but came back home to Dallas to find a job. I have put in applicat...
