   maine28 replied to _nurselewis's topic in Job Hunt

   Take out the objective and put instead overview and use that area to highlight your strengths. You can put it in there you have CPR and IV certs, if you know another language i would also put it in there. Take out the clinical experience part and ela...

2. Are nursing career fairs actually worth it?

   maine28 replied to RedNavy's topic in ADN/BSN

   I once read career fairs are the least likely place were you will get a job offer. I went to one while I was still a student nurse and sat there for 3 hours. I never got a chance to talk to anyone. So in my experience no, it's not worth it. But, as a...

   maine28 replied to maine28's topic in ADN/BSN

   You are absolutely right. And that's one of the first things the DON told me, but she said she was willing to give me a chance because of my experience. All the positions I applied for I found them on indeed.com I saw the job posting and applied, she...

8. New Grad: feeling defeated

   maine28 replied to maine28's topic in ADN/BSN

   You are absolutely right. There are lots of medics out there with that attitude and believe me that's one of the reasons why I was very careful to tell anyone I was a medic while going though nursing school. What I said about I can intubate and work ...

9. Updating my resume... what to and what not to include?

   maine28 replied to ecf1972's topic in Job Hunt

   Not to sound negative, but I don't think you should list that. Like you said, every RN has to know how to do that. I would instead list skills such as IVs or EKGs, maybe wound care...
