    Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    Multicollinearity replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    I'd extend this to instructors as well. I cannot believe how many times I've been with a group of students and an instructor, and one of the students begins ranting about how horrible instructor...

    Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    Multicollinearity replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question about interviewing. Let's say the interviewer asks the question about what is your most significant weakness. Would it be detrimental to honestly say the following: "I do not...

    Vent!! Why do families think nurses know all about insurance coverage?

    Multicollinearity replied to txredheadnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it would be beneficial to point the patient in the right direction. I think this sort of class should be required in all RN programs. I guess I was expressing my frustration between what I...

    Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    Multicollinearity replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good reminder that the interview is a two-way examination. The prospective employer isn't the only one making a decision about qualifications and

    Vent!! Why do families think nurses know all about insurance coverage?

    Multicollinearity replied to txredheadnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My BSN program's core curriculum includes a US Healthcare Policy and Healthcare Financing class. I just received the textbook. It's over 1000 pages of policy, politics, and healthcare financing...

    Do you always state that you are a nurse?

    Multicollinearity replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    A couple weeks ago I had an experience with a surgeon, as a patient. At the beginning of the appointment he asked me what I do. I said, "I'm a student." And I intended to leave it at that. But it...

    Do you always state that you are a nurse?

    Multicollinearity replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    I've been asked three or four times now if I'm a pharmacist, when I'm a patient or with a friend or relative at a hospital. Nobody's ever asked if I'm a nurse. (Of course, I'm not, yet!). It must...

    Multicollinearity replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You're not alone. I'm fuzzy on what Twitter is/does. I think it's a sort of auto-feed system for text messages? Of course I've only sent a few text messages in my life, and my cell phone is always...

    H1N1 Vaccine in October, IF all goes well.(that is a big IF)

    How would this vaccine be any more dangerous than our yearly influenza vaccines that contain different strains each year? I think I'm missing

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Multicollinearity replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think there is a certain moral covenant involved when you accept employment that involves service to the public and risk. For example, on 9/11, the firefighters ran towards the buildings, not away....

    Thanks class!

    Multicollinearity replied to JBudd's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you had an enjoyable experience! I think it would be really challenging to be an instructor. Students can be hyper-critical of their instructors. So yay for you that you made the...

    tricks and help from instructors

    Multicollinearity replied to lulu rn's topic in General Students

    Test reviews? I'm envious. We don't get a real opportunity to see rationales or ask questions about our exams. The only opportunity to ask questions about the exams is if you make an appointment to...

    tricks and help from instructors

    Multicollinearity replied to lulu rn's topic in General Students

    The "don't change your answers" mantra is bad advice for me. When I'm done with my exam, I always go back and quickly re-read the questions and the answers I chose. I find I change 3-4 answers per...

    Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    Multicollinearity replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    This is becoming ridiculous. Some of us have the ability to earn 4.0s semester after semester while happy and healthy, and some do not. Students have different abilities, priorities, demands on our...

    All 'A' students do not stereotype. Also, I'm tempted to note that overall, 'A' students are probably less likely to say "all" about

    No More Fingersticks for Techs!!

    Multicollinearity replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Granted I'm still just a nursing student with limited experience. However, I do not think techs should be able to insert foleys. From my limited experience in clinicals, with what I've seen, some of...

    Multicollinearity replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

    What I find interesting is how some other boards for other professional licenses outside of health care tend to be more strict. For example, I have an insurance license. In my state, you cannot get...
