5. Bio (Anatomy) and Chem Together

   meeks123 replied to GoodnessFlows's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Very doable. I remember taking A&P II with chemistry part I together while working full time. A&P was the one I had to concentrate for and study for. Chemistry wasn't bad, it was fun, I would read a chapter the day before the quizzes. I w...

   Get to know at least one person from the class ahead of you, and make sure you ask for detailed tips on how to pass the class before each semester starts.

7. 8hr vs. 12hr work days

   meeks123 replied to sjm30's topic in Management

   My goal is to get a 12 hour shift job.. I would love it if it happened to be three days in a row... Since I have no children, I would see it as a reason to hybernate from the outside world for three days and then enjoy my four days off... I see it a...

8. Critique my resume

   meeks123 replied to meeks123's topic in Job Hunt

   They are minor skills, but a lot of nurses in my program haven't even performed NG suctioning or hung up the tube feedings, or hung up piggyback meds... I was able to do that in my last semester at my preceptorship, so that's why it makes me think th...

9. Critique my resume

   meeks123 replied to meeks123's topic in Job Hunt

   Yes, that's what I was thinking, I hear short and to the point, but to me it doesn't sound like it matches the whole resume. I was thinking of one of these two: Spanish – Expert Fluency Proficient knowledge of disease processes and medical terminolo...

11. Critique my resume

    meeks123 posted a topic in Job Hunt

    The way we were taught in school was to list our clinical experience, I tried to shorten it a bit to make it fit into one page. At first I made a resume that was two pages long, excluding the reference page, but I have not received a single call in a...

12. I want a medical job!!!!

    meeks123 replied to quintishaf's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Depending on how long it takes to get a CNA, it could be a waste of time and money, or not. From my quick reading that I read online a couple of minutes ago, I think it would be a good choice. It appears that is a one semester training course, so is...

13. Nursing School. Did you work?

    meeks123 replied to ana86's topic in General Students

    I tried to work full time and do Nursing school, and it was hard lol. After the first month, I began working part time hours depending on my schooling, 20-30 hours a week, back to 40 hours whenever I was on break. With working, you can expect to wor...

14. Where should I buy my interview clothes?

    meeks123 replied to meeks123's topic in Job Hunt

    Thank you all very much, I will try Banana Republic one of these days, those other stores mentioned, I don't have locally. Anyways, thanks for all the help, and for those that shop in Nordstrom, they currently have a sale, I just got some non-intervi...

15. Where should I buy my interview clothes?

    meeks123 posted a topic in Job Hunt

    I'm pretty clueless about this because as most new nurses, I have not been interviewed for a "professional" position thus far. I wore casual wear for my current non-professional position. In Nursing school, I heard is good to invest in professional l...
