   vandydani replied to LCSWtoPMHNP's topic in Post Graduate

   I never got an email to check my portal. I just went into my portal and into my application and it had a status update that I opened. Just FYI. I still have not gotten any emails from them. The letter is legit and says my name and whatnot but I only ...

   vandydani replied to LCSWtoPMHNP's topic in Post Graduate

   I honestly don't think you need to attend the open house at the beginning of March as a prospective student. It looks like an informational session for potential applicants and they just threw in a small session for admitted students because people w...

7. Why choose a 2-step TB skin test vs. TB blood test?

   vandydani replied to micheljd's topic in General Nursing

   As stated in other replies, the quantiferon gold is historically very very expensive. I had a positive PPD and a negative chest X-Ray. I was told to do the anti-tb regimen (about 6 months of liver and kidney toxic drugs) because I had latent TB. I as...

8. How fast did you land a job?

   vandydani replied to johndough's topic in General Students

   Got my first job offer in March of 2015 (started applying in January of 2015). Graduated and took the nclex in May of 2015, started working in July of 2015. Residencies are more apt to hire you early, contingent on passing boards. Most of my classmat...

9. Cooks Children's Pediatric Nursing Residency July 2016

   vandydani replied to monseolmos's topic in Career Support

   The interviewers are different in the morning and afternoon. Interviewers do 4 hour blocks either 8-12 or 12-4. Again, I'm sorry for your experience and that it was not representative of Cook as a whole. All the best in your job search.

    I'm so sorry you all had that experience. I'm a current resident and it is one of the most positive and supportive places I have ever been. I apologize for any coldness and I wish you all the best going forward.

    vandydani replied to monseolmos's topic in Career Support

    They are waiting for feedback from those that were extended offers to see if there are still available spots. I don't believe they are offering positions in the October cohort. It is usually a separate application/interview process for each cohort.

12. Can blogging hurt or harm your career

    vandydani replied to btcoonhound's topic in Entrepreneurs

    I think that it depends on the content of the blogging you wish to do. If you are wanting to engage other colleagues in intellectual discussion and talk about current events with a clear statement that you are not representing your hospital of employ...

    Fentanyl and Precedex usually. The occasional Vecuronium drip for sedation nightmares.
