   MarlynneRN replied to RNfindingherway's topic in NCLEX

   I used the Pearson Reviewer, and just did plenty of questions in addition to that - Saunders, Lippincott, Mosby, etc. I did not open any of my textbooks unless there was a topic/med/disease process that I really did not understand. Don't lose hope an...

   I got that email, too - it said that it was due to a late bid or submission. ... If I turned it in late, then why was I interviewed in the first place?

   MarlynneRN replied to LoveRNADN's topic in California

   When I was applying for LVN jobs, my first 3 interviews didn't go well, and I think it's bc I let myself become too intimidated by the manager. On my 4th though, I prepared for it much more thoroughly. I gave myself plenty of time to commute to the s...

   I was told this, but I didn't get the exact details about the interview. I just called HR right now and the office said an email will be sent tomorrow for the selected candidates. Is this the same for others? I'm feeling discouraged now...

   I'm really confused as far as how the procedure goes now... my friend who had gotten hired at PanCity said that they do mostly internal hires/transfers... but if that was the case then your friend should've gotten priority. Did she apply to the woodl...

    I chose peds, and, yes, I live locally. The recruiter said they're arranging the meetings so they can put a face to the names... they'll be scheduling interviews during which we'll meet hiring managers, DAs, educators, etc. I didn't get a tour... is...

    @missdia - yes, woodland hills. Maybe they'll schedule other meetings after the memorial day weekend. @kv07 - I've worked as an LVN for 3 years at a clinic and my RN experience amounts to less than a month. I'm hoping that persistent applying will ha...

    I got that questionnaire/email early this week. My response was a paragraph or two. I then received a follow-up email with dates and times on when to come in so we can have a "brief meeting" regarding the program with the recruiter - just talked abou...

    MarlynneRN replied to lperkrn's topic in Career Support

    Volunteering can be a foot in the door of some company that will hire nurses but may be completely unrelated to direct patient care! Look into hospitals that have research groups who are needed volunteer nurses - this may be an eye-opener and an opti...
