Good morning msannaa771, I wouldn't worry about it, especially since it was a one time occurrence, happened in 2003 and you disclosed it. Tina

Hi Cookies and Caffeine! When I interview new grads and they seem nervous, I simply tell them to take a deep breath and just view the interview as a conversation that we are having with each other. I am here to get to know you, why you became a nurse, what drives you and why you are interested in working at our hospital, and you are there to find out about the position, the hospital and whether or not we will be a good fit for you. Nine times out of ten, my candidate becomes much calmer and we end up having a delightful conversation. Also bring a notebook with a couple of questions written down that you want to ask the recruiter / nurse manager about the position, the culture (turnover, etc) and what types of patients they see or what challenges they face. You can also jot down some of your strengths / weaknesses to peek at as well. I hope this helps! Tina

Good morning. Do they list BSN preferred in the posting? I know that a lot of healthcare systems are looking to hire BSN prepared nurses, but at the same time will hire ADN's if the candidate is open about continuing on for their BSN relatively quick. What area of Wisconsin are you interested in? Maybe a med/surg unit would be more of a fit to start?

Hi, it is common for May graduates to be getting job offers at this time and accepting prior to graduating. I am a Recruiter for Ascension Health and have been interviewing and making offers to new grads. What type of RN positions are you applying to and where? (Specialty floors, Med/Surg, etc).
