  1. question about panel interview

    nminodob replied to it's hot in phoenix's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had a panel interview of 3, but lucky for me, one of them was a no-show so it was less intimidating. One thing I will advise - they gave a short (10 question) math test - if you know ratios, D/H x V...

    nminodob replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    I grad. in Dec 09 and got a job in April - and only because I had been a CNA/clinical student at the hospital so I made some connections. My advice: get your foot in the door in the hospital you want...

    nminodob replied to brandy1215's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had the same experience when I went to 2 of my schools job fairs - wished I had never gone! However, got a chance to see a few friends from nursing school

  4. Exit HESI exam quirks. Material on test but not in HESI review book. (No specifics)

    nminodob replied to fathertod's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There were lots of questions on the HESI that I was clueless about - but the ones that were the hardest were the one I did know something about! More of a problem of double thinking the possible...

  8. Blind in one eye...can I still be a nurse

    nminodob replied to tripleagraham's topic in General Nursing

    I am practically blind in one eye - and don't believe it when people say that you can't do things because you have no depth perception, the human body is amazingly resilient and I never have a problem...

  9. SO ANGRY...help!!!

    nminodob replied to ac123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    IMO, the idea of suing is one that most of us would consider - and then as we cooled off, reject. You would get nowhere with it, and it would just bog you down in negativity at a time when you should...

    nminodob replied to jhidalgo75's topic in General Nursing

  11. Discouraged new LPN

    nminodob replied to ALawson's topic in General Nursing

    If you live in California you may qualify for a CalGrant when you finally do go to school for RN - a lot of people don't know they can get 8K/year directly for tuition. Also, it took me 4 months to...

  12. My Room Mate tried to commit suicide tonight.

    nminodob replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    When people do desperate things like your roommate tried, it really messes with the heads of the people close to them. It sounds like you are going through "survivor's guilt" even though it seems your...

  13. GPA Question

    nminodob replied to Stina's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the admissions panels will look at the whole picture - I graduated with a summa cum laude (4.0 GPA), and a 4.0 in all my pre-reqs as well - but I didn't get in to a masters program. I...

  14. Stupid ANA Question

  16. Can a RN fill a CNA slot?

    nminodob replied to SkySoldier's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how this could be true, because I worked as a Public Service Aide (student nurse) in a California hospital after I had passed the NCLEX but was not yet hired there as an RN. I did...

  17. John Muir New Grad training program - huh?

    nminodob replied to nminodob's topic in General Nursing

    I called the Walnut Creek number and they gave me the # 925-947-5215 for Human Resources. Since nothing turns up on their website, I am assuming that the new grad program has been postponed or...

    nminodob replied to mamaames's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with RedHairedNurse - reading threads, then going to google for background on stuff you are a bit hazy on, always helps me. I just started working my new job after a 4 month job search, and...

    nminodob posted a topic in General Nursing

    nminodob replied to Ginger's Person's topic in General Nursing

    nminodob replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing
