  1. Change my major?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to frencheeek's topic in General Students

    Yea I would dive into pre-reqs for medical school. Both are really different. I understand your concept but it would take a lot of time to do what your proposing. Good Luck with whatever you

  2. Resume help

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to StillsmilingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow....all hospitals/states must be different. Why would a recruiter advise someone not to include previous employment history? Just because those jobs are not nursing related doesn't mean that the...

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to alymora's topic in General Students

    It's perfectly normal to be nervous.....especially because of things people will tell you. Just keep in mind that it's all relative. People from all different walks of life enter nursing school. Don't...

  4. Forwarded to hiring manager...

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Calinurse4's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would be excited! Unless the HR 'gods' find you qualified for a position, your resume doesn't make it into the hands of hiring/nurse managers. Good luck and fingers are crossed for

  5. Commuting, is it worth the drive?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to RN4L's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to iliketosneeze's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  8. Resume help

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to StillsmilingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  9. Offered a Mother Baby job- Help! What really happens in Mother Baby???

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to blonde0140's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to whatdoIdonow?'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Maladroit's topic in General Students

  20. Assessing and Diagnosing Self-Care Deficit

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Ted's Wife's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  21. How common is it to get fired?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to TurtleCat's topic in General Nursing

    keep in mind that when you read a post on this site, you are only hearing one side of a story. for a "minor" error, one would not be fired. they would be fired if they repeatedly made that same...

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to jacky8168's topic in General Students
