Long time since I've posted here! Where I work the computer system is having issues and we are unable to chart our regular visits. I was typing up a complete assessment and pasting it into a prn visit narrative section. My supervisor is telling me...

Thanks everyone for confirming what I suspected. This is a small, newer company and this is not the only issue I've worried about. I emailed the supervisor about the legalities of this and she ended up saying we can type a narrative but when the co...

I am so worried about this. I've tried to find the rules/regs on the Arizona BON to show my supervisor but am unable to locate it.

Same here - let's keep in touch!

I am also scheduled to begin Chamberlain's FNP program Mar 3. They were still finalizing everything Friday so I have no log in info or anything really! I wanted to start familiarizing myself with the website this weekend. Oh well, I'll just roll w...

First test I did fine. Now the 2nd and 3rd I've missed 8 out of 15 and 7 out of 15. I know the material pretty well and I study quite a bit, but it's the critical thinking, I guess, that I'm lacking. Some of the questions I can see where I didn't ...

sure - go ahead and send me a message

Thought I'd pop in you all know that I graduated from Carrington in Nov, passed the nclex with no problem, and got 12 interviews during the 4 months I was on the job hunt. I ended up being hired at a local hospital - one where I had no connections a...

PM me your email address and I will email you a template cover letter/resume with my suggestions of what to fill in.

I had a total of 12 interviews and 5 offers. I accepted the offer into a great local hospital new grad program. (I turned down other jobs along the way because of a lack of orientation). In my area, like almost everywhere else, the hospitals are n...

Chillceb - do you already have a resume and cover letter? Send me a pm and I'll take a look at it over pm/email.

mnforever: I had a panel interview at a hospital and while waiting for the other interviewers to show up I chit-chatted with the one interviewer there. She told me they didn't care about the degree, it will be all about how well I sell myself. I ...

You can search this forum for "interview questions" "behavioral questions" "scenario questions" One of those will lead you to the right threads. Here's the link for the Johns Hopkins guide. There's also a mayo clinic one but I can't locate it http:...

What a great thing to say, LunahRN :)

Thanks for the congrats! Good luck Scibruin on the job Monday! It's exciting, isn't it!!

I would take the time to prepare thoroughly rather than "if it's meant to be" approach. If you search on allnurses (or google) you can find the mayo clinic or Johns hopkins interview guide. It will tell you possible scenario questions. Write your ...

Totally understand your frustration. Have you thought about sending your resume to local doctor's offices as a last resort? If you could get hired, it would be a paycheck and possibly networking opportunities.

If you can afford to get it, I would. I got mine as a new grad and interviewers have been impressed that I already have it. .

First, is this something you had to disclose? I guess I'm asking, does the board know about it? If so, did you send a letter in with your application explaining it? If you did, I would just call them and ask the status.

Plenty of people who are "hardworking and have the right outlook" are out of work right now. Plenty of unemployed new grads are doing ALL the right things. The problem is the economic climate we find outselves in. Unfortunately, a good outlook and ha...

She shouldn't even need to know someone personally that needs an organ transplant to understand that it's not comparable to buying a Mercedes.

What state is this?

Hoozdo - Don't you know Obama is the cause of everything bad that happens in this country, even before his presidency lol Interesting where the real death panels are coming from now...

What about recovery facilities? Seems like you would be a good example to others trying to recover. Another option you may want to look at since employers can be rather unforgiving - opening up your own group home for people recoverying from alcoho...

In Arizona one of the community colleges is now offering a Nursing Continuing Education Track of courses that are targeted towards the new-grad student. The course design allows students to take a core group of classes that are based upon the new-gra...
