   avhoney replied to sarabella11's topic in Job Hunt

   I believe that if you are doing everything that you are doing then maybe the right position for you hasn't been available. I believe that in time, it will happen! Keep contacting the recruiters but give yourself two week breaks in between leaving mes...

   Hi, It is definitely hard to get past the computer application BUT you should call and talk to the recruiters of the hospital! First apply online to all the jobs that you are interested in. Then do not wait around for them to call you. Call them! If ...

4. No name nursing school OR one with minimal clinical time

   avhoney replied to SBSN's topic in General Nursing

   No matter what school you go to, make sure to do an internship or externship! I did this plus worked as a nurse tech and this made me stand out as an applicant. I know other nurses who did this and were able to get employment quickly after school! Go...

   avhoney replied to SBSN's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly, there is always a risk with newly accredited places. When I was interviewing for jobs, I asked the hiring manager why they had openings on their unit. The person told me that they had to let go of two of their nurses. The two nurse's had wo...

6. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

   avhoney replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in General Students

   I started nursing school when I was 18 and I graduated with my BSN when I was 22. Although I do not have any children, I had colleagues who were married and had children. You are never to old to start after your dreams! If you want to be a nurse, you...

13. Please tell me why you dreamed of being a nurse from a young age

    avhoney posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone! I love being a nurse! However, I am that nurse who did not dream of becoming a nurse as a child. Even when I worked in the nursing home (a job that I loved), I swore that I would never be a nurse! It was not until I was older in college...

    Hi mnh03! Where to start studying? That is a really good and hard question to answer. I would say first make two list that prioritizes your weakness to strengths. Put in order these.... 1. Psych 2. Adult/geriatric Medical Surgery 3. Pediatric Medica...

15. Forceful opinions

    avhoney replied to mmcc26's topic in General Students

    If they are not a nurse or did not go through nursing school, they don't know what they are talking about. It is their best way to be able to relate to you. I cannot tell you how many times family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers have given me ...
