    StarN Residency -

    Chrispy11 replied to jessmarieb's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just want to comment on reviews. Think of someplace you really like. Look at the reviews. See if they're in line with your opinion. People are quicker to write a review when they are unhappy. Not...

    Did I mess up my chances for nursing? SUNY Orange

    Chrispy11 replied to followyourdestenie's topic in School, College Programs

    My school had a seminar on how they viewed courses when applying for the nursing program. It was a point based system. Maybe the program you're applying to also offers these one hour informal

    Job offer while doing other job interviews

    Chrispy11 replied to mediwizard's topic in Nursing Career

    First, thank you for your kind wishes. I was verbally offered a handful of positions. I said I was interested but still interviewing. One I declined because it was the same money as three closer...

    Non bedside nursing Option ... and a side question bout Nails?

    Chrispy11 replied to lovelyc's topic in Nursing Career

    Lots of doctors` offices list positions. One I came across was phone triage. You can have the nails in an office job. But the NCLEX comes

    Did I get the job?

    Chrispy11 replied to Ad808's topic in Nursing Career

    You're just never sure. I was offered positions for interviews I didn't think went well. I had one call me an hour after I left the interview to schedule part two. I sent an email yesterday about when...

    LVN need2vent: patient complaint & unfair assignments

    Chrispy11 replied to liznrs30's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Having been in a similar environment as a CNA, I can say the issues you have are pretty common. Residents forget and try to pit employees against one another. Best thing I can say is to tell the CNAs...

    Is it hard finding a job after graduating?

    Chrispy11 replied to MGK2018's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated with an Associates in May. Passed the NCLEX the end of June. Did a bunch of applications first week in July. Interviewed the next few weeks. Received multiple offers. Accepted one last...

    New grad sinking fast

    Chrispy11 replied to Sheika34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm new myself. The one take away from every interview I had is that there is an orientation and some individuals take longer than others. I'm sure your preceptor has seen nerves before. It's only day...

    56 With Multiple Back Surgeries Wants to Become an RN

    Chrispy11 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You are the best judge of your physical abilities. I went back to school and can tell you clinicals are very taxing. I was required to have my doctor sign off on a physical before I could sign up for...

    Quit Job While Pregnant and Can't Get Hired

    Chrispy11 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Every place I applied has a 90 day probationary period. If you got a job now, you might not make it though the 90 days because hiring is a slow process after interviews and background checks. Maybe do...

    Second degree / career change

    Chrispy11 replied to Nutritionturnednurse_tn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good suggestion. I also agree on the LPN. Nursing homes and assisted living are the only places in my area that hire LPNs. Three years at my local community college for an ADN was cheaper than two...

    Are online RN to BSN/MSN programs legitimate?

    Chrispy11 replied to RNikkiF's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    All I can say is look for regional accreditations. This is what I learned from a friend of mine who is an admissions counselor. I went back to school for an ADN after earning a Masters degree in...

    Job offer while doing other job interviews

    Chrispy11 replied to mediwizard's topic in Nursing Career

    I was asked if I was interviewing and my reply was, "Yes, because nothing is certain." Each place is unique in the steps required and I am going through the process on each as I said, nothing is...

    Job offer while doing other job interviews

    Chrispy11 replied to mediwizard's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm in the same boat. I was honest and told them I was interested but still interviewing. I even had one place ask me to still come in even after I told them I accepted another offer. I decided to go....

    I was offered a job

    Chrispy11 replied to 1homehealth's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I'm a new RN, just passed the NCLEX. Worked in Corporate America for many years. Having that experience taught me one thing. It's not firm until you have something in writing. I'm interviewing myself...

    What translates as experience?

    Thanks, can't move right now. Just looking to take the right first job. After I posted this, I got four more hits. I am in the N.Y. metro area so there are a lot of jobs, just missing the...

    What translates as experience?

    Hi, I just passed the NCLEX at the end of June and have been scanning the job boards. I worked as a Medication Aide in assisted living and haven't worked the past year due to concentrating on school....

    Chrispy11 replied to Priori-Incantatem's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school offered a HESI exam, which I did well on. I took the in person Kaplan course and did 200 questions a day for three weeks. It shut off at 75 questions. Maybe a third was SATA, one med calc so...

    NCLEX JUNE 2018

    Chrispy11 replied to SAMc0515's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wish I'd seen this thread sooner. Kaplan offered a deep discount through my school, so that was all I used. I took the NCLEX on June 26th. My scheduled time was supposed to be at 2 but I arrived...
