Thanks for the responses so far. I'm the type of person who stayed out of politics in the classroom or clinical setting. I never had a disruptive family but I did have one angry patient that I had to deal with. Another question they asked was abou...
I just had an interview today with a major hospital and I didn't get the typical interview questions such as, "Why do you want to work here?", "Tell me about yourself", or "What is your greatest weaknesses?" The whole interview was scenario question...
Ohio Board of Nursing is just slow. I graduated on May 3rd, got my ATT on June 21, took the NCLEX on July 5, and my license showed up on yesterday (July 9). I also turned in all my paperwork and did my fingerprints 8 weeks before I graduated. It ...
I just took mine and I had about 20 SATA questions out of 75. There always seemed to be one answer that was questionable on the SATA questions. On the regular questions there were two answers that were obviously wrong and two answers that were clos...

Wow, these courses sound scary. I got straight A's in my nursing classes but I have no problem memorizing concepts and terms. My biggest weakness is my writing. I barely got two C's in my freshman English courses. Looks like I will be taking on...

Thanks for your responses. I took 308J during the summer for 5 weeks and I really struggled with that course. I can't imagine taking 2 writing courses in a 5 week period. My plan was to take one course at a time and work full time, but then I go...

It doesn't matter what degree your going for as long as your doing your Pre-Med courses. Things might have changed now, but when I was in college back in the 1990's, my Pre-Med advisor told me to get a degree in something you like. He said medical ...

I'm in Ohio and I applied to about 10 positions so far; five of them being new graduate positions. I had two interviews at hospitals out of state, and two interviews at LTC facilities near me. I heard nothing back from the hospitals-one I interview...
These nursing homes are taking advantage of desperate nurses. I just got a job offer for $17 for a RN position at a LTC facility when I get my license. I would start at $14 as a LPN until I pass the NCLEX-RN exam. Not as bad as $12.50, but still p...

Yes, my wife smokes and I don't. It's probably best for me to talk directly to the hospital to see if this disqualifies me from employment or health insurance coverage for my wife. But if anybody works at a hospital that doesn't allow smokers, pl...
Not sure if I posted this in the right section but does anybody know if a hospital requires their employees to be non-smokers, is it alright if his/her spouse smokes? I don't smoke but I want to apply for a job that says they test applicants for nic...

I have a few of questions. Do they hire assoicate degree nurses? I will be doing online RN-BSN classes next fall. I will be graduating in May from my associate degree program, but probably won't get licensed for at least 2 months. When should I a...

I just finished my finals on Friday and got one more semester to go. So far I'm not too impressed with my LPN-RN program at OU. During this last semester they told us we weren't doing any preceptorships for our final semester because they couldn't ...

I'm the OP (forgot allnurses password and the email account I used). Anyways, to clarify this further, I'm in Ohio University's LPN to RN program at the Chillicothe branch campus. They handed out a form that second year ADN students (or LPN-RN stud...
