1. Should I take the first position I am offered?

   RN59217 replied to bluegreen26's topic in Job Hunt

   I'm in this boat now. The local hospitals are accepting applications but haven't been actually hiring yet. It looks like they plan to do so in May. In the meantime, I was offered an interview at a physician's office, so I am going to that. If offered...

   Congrats to you both! I am awaiting my second interview at a hospital. So excited!

3. Why do you want to leave your current position?

   RN59217 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Job Hunt

   This question was asked during my first interview that I had last week too. I'm leaving a retail position. So I said that I actually really like my job: my coworkers are great and the job itself is fine. I just want to start my nursing career and don...

4. Invited to interview today! What to expect?

   RN59217 replied to RN59217's topic in Job Hunt

   Well since no one replied, I'll just update. I waited till I felt better so that I looked good on the video. Dressed in a cardigan and otherwise just the usual way my hair/face look. Presentable and not over-the-top. It was 10 questions ranging from ...

5. 2014 Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) Poll

   RN59217 replied to mslovebug's topic in NCLEX

   Worked for me. I did the PVT 10 min after I was done my test, got the good pop up, then 24h later my name and license # came up on my state BON's website.

6. Invited to interview today! What to expect?

   RN59217 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I got invited for a video interview today! All I've been told is that the questions are prerecorded and I have to answer them in front of a webcam. So I guess it's a glorified "phone interview". Has anyone done one of these? I have so many questions....

7. So I failed my HESI Really bad... :( Am I going to fail the nclex?!

   RN59217 replied to futuresctRN's topic in HESI

   I did NCLEX review questions from Saunders to prepare for the Hesi for Med Surg and Exit. It helped a lot. I don't necessarily think your score means you'll fail the NCLEX since that was your raw score with no prep.

8. NCLEX Study Tips Requested Please

   RN59217 replied to cappie000's topic in NCLEX

   They decreased the amount of pharm on the test! Used to be 12-18%, now it's 9-15%. Know your classifications. I had I think 3 pharm questions out of 75 and that was it. One I think I got wrong, quite frankly I didn't like any of the answer choices so...

9. Confused and Overwhelmed!! Please Help.. NCLEX-RN

   RN59217 replied to aed2010's topic in NCLEX

   You all are aware that the NCLEX is adaptive testing, right? Some people from my class passed the NCLEX with little preparation. Then there was me. I took Kaplan, did questions out of Saunders, studied for months, did lots of reading in my weak area...

10. Answers to "why you want to work here"

    RN59217 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Job Hunt

    If L&D is your dream job, but you're interviewing for Med-Surg, I would play up Med-Surg in the interview. You don't know that in 5 years you're going to still want L&D. You might adore Med-Surg so much that you don't want to leave. Each unit...

11. interviewer asked about religion - what would you say?

    RN59217 replied to ceccia's topic in Job Hunt

    Was it on a unit where the religious preference would even be an issue? Like a L&D/OB unit where you may have to deal with abortion clients?

12. interviewer asked about religion - what would you say?

    RN59217 replied to ceccia's topic in Job Hunt

    I think that was a perfect answer. I don't know if you could report the person to someone higher up since it is really illegal for them to ask you that question?

    Thanks. I will tell him that. I think he's just having a "proud father" moment, lol

14. Embroidery on lab coat

    RN59217 posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    Hi, my dad and I are having a discussion/debate on what is the appropriate title to give me now and have embroidered on a lab coat. The options are, (My name), BSN, RN or (My name), BS, BSN, RN since I have a prior BS in another field. I just said BS...

15. Nclex results

    RN59217 replied to BeautifulDisaster's topic in NCLEX

    Check your state BON's website. If your state is quick, they might post your license before the Quick Results are available. Don't get freaked out if they don't though, they could just be slow to process the new info. I took the NCLEX Jan 15. Literal...
