You stated he was a long-term resident. Is this a new smell or has he always smelled like this?

The biggest motivating factor for me is giving my son a chance for a better life. I hope that I can sock enough money away to pay for his college in full, so he won't have to deal with student loans...

I was in the mortgage/real estate industry and a skilled workman that is good with his hands earns a heck of a lot more money than most nurses. I have known people who started out as general labor...

Thanks, llg for your insight! Sometimes it's hard not to take things personally but now that I've had some time to think it about it, you're probably right.

Yes. I graduated in December and have been hired on the spot for 3 different positions thus far (pending reference checks). I have declined two and started the position I accepted this previous...

A second interview is a very good thing! Congrats! You can probably expect more of the same type of questions (although probably not as many). It's a little more relaxed atmosphere (but stay your...

I talked with my references and they stated that they were still willing to give me references and they are hoping I get a job soon, etc. Maybe they already had someone in mind for the position and...

Hi nrsyann - Yes, I work and am also a single mom. Everyone in my class works as well. You have to be dedicated but you can make it work. The way GCU online works is they set the program up...

rn/writer - I was thinking that too, but I don't think so. I know that the PRN job I have now checked references (one of my references called me to let me know they gave me a good reference) and...

So, I had an interview with a local inpatient hospice unit manager. The interview went very well (second interview, I was referred by someone else). She stated that new grads are fine, which is...

OP - This woman is miserable and sees that you are happy in your life. That is why she is picking on you. Not only that, but it seems that she is getting a "rise" out of you and, in doing so, is...

Holy COW! I thought I had bad interviews before but after hearing these stories, all of my interviews seem like a walk in the park! LOL. larien37 - I really hope that you get the job you want! ...

I've liked it so far. They walk you through everything, they make sure everything is in order prior to you starting classes and it's just a year long. It is a bit busy but so far, it hasn't been...

I think it is about a year to no longer be counted as a "new grad". I was kind of wondering this too.

I am not sure how often it is offered however I can tell you that when I worked at Swedish (where the Preiop Program is offered), I loved it! It was a great hospital with great employees! One...

We have come so far! Only good things for our careers! Good luck and stay in touch on the new grad forum!

Good luck, shannalim! Go in there and OWN it! Good luck to you!

You got it! I will pray for you too! Good luck!

NurseLoveJoy - I came on here to let you know that I prayed for you this morning as I knew you were taking your NCLEX today! I, too, felt numb with the PVT and like I "couldn't believe it" but...

c2brn7 - If it is possible for you to stay in a hotel or rent a room between your shifts, I would say go ahead and interview. If you think you are going to have to commute between your shifts, I...

Congrats on your new job!

...and I am so nervous! The person who called told me that it is going to be a behavioral interview and they wanted specifics. I've practiced these types of questions before but I am def. no...

As a single parent and a second career person, I got my ADN first and do plan on going back for my BSN (with my employer's tuition reimbursement program). It makes better financial sense for my...

Hi Danielle - With your experience, I don't think you are going to have a problem finding a job. I would wait until a little closer to your move time (around November) to start putting in...

Congrats on passing! Your story sounded a lot like mine. I shed a few tears after I walked out of the testing center and was stunned the entire 5 hour trip home. LOL. I also didn't believe it...
