We had this same scenario on the Neuro Unit where I work, only it was a son. It was so heartbreaking to us nurses and he was so disconnected with the reality of the situation. I have always had an ethical issue with how this happens. Its so sad to see and have to be a part of this.

For the internship at Providence Alaska in Anchorage. Even though I have a tremedously fluffed resume, with honors, volunteering and loads of leadership positions through school, and a 2 year management position at a casino prior to college....I am nervous as heck on getting the job!! The interview process was my first in my new nursing career... I just graduated and take my boards on Friday. There were three nurses and about 20 questions, an hour long, interview. There were so many situational questions that my head was spinning trying to find new ones or good ones to answer with. And then I worried I didn't answer them well enough... UGH, I hate this nervous wreck stuff... I really want this job, I didn't look at NICU before but now I am and I am excited, its a nine month internship too, which gives me a tremendous base for a career in NICU. Theres a two year commitment on contract afterwards as well. I like the hours, nights 12's... Is everyone this nervous their first interview?

First go to the state nursing board website: http://www.dced.state.ak.us/occ/pnur5.htm This has an option to receive the candidate bulletin. This has an application and information inside as well as the state stats and regs for nursing. You have to get fingerprints done with their fingerprint cards (which you can request by mail) and have a passport photo taken, recent one. Then the cost of this all comes to $324. You can then go online to the pearson vue testing website, and pay online to take the NCLEX. Once you get your Authorization to test, via email is the fastest, you go back to pearson vue and then you choose a date. The testing center is in Anchorage off of Denali, in the Denali Towers. Does this help you?::welcome:
