    Those are great
  2. Jobhunting--any tips?

    I'm a recent RN graduate and was promised a job at a facility I was an aide for. I had a perfect record there--no call outs, never late, great patient care, but ultimately they decided to hire someone...
  3. This too. I wonder why this works though. Do HR people sit around and think, "Well, if they REALLY wanted the job, they'd call us"? Or does it just show that the person's willing to go for that extra...
  4. I would downplay the fact that you're a "soon to be nurse" and talk about why you would be a great fit for them. With each cover letter you send, customize it to include the facility's name and why...

    Well, apply and see what they offer you, and decide
  6. Stay a CNA or become a PCT

    If they're willing to offer you better pay, more training, and tuition assistance, then definitely take the job if it's offered. Even if you don't like it, you'll have your RN in a year and will have...

    I never thought to say I'm a nursing student! I'll probably get in lot 3 or 4 then. They didn't seem too far away from lot 2, but maybe I'm misremembering. How often does the shuttle come around? At...

    Thank you for the advice, tero. I'm definitely looking into extra help. Wish me

    It's A & P II. It's looking like I'll finish it, but I'm a bit stressed over it. Thanks for the

    If for some reason I can't finish a summer class (prerequisite to the nursing program, and I start in September), what are my options? Can I take it again during the fall or next summer, or is that...

    That seems kind of strange. I don't think emergency responders would appreciate someone calling 911, not knowing it's a "training exercise," and like tero said, how would they know it was nursing...
