  1. 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...
  2. Jobhunting--any tips?

    Those are great
  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...
  5. Stay a CNA or become a PCT

    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...
  7. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    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...
  8. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    I got a call today that the uniforms and name badges are ready. Also, how do I set up my Blackboard and e-mail accounts? All I have now is access to
  9. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    This. I have a cheap, no-frills plan right now. But if it makes it cheaper/easier to read textbooks, it'll probably be worth the cost. Have they said what books they want to put on it? Also, I passed...
  10. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    I'm psyched about the Smartphone, but what exactly is it? Do we have to change phone carriers (and if so, how much will it
  11. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    Thank you for the advice, tero. I'm definitely looking into extra help. Wish me
  12. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    It's A & P II. It's looking like I'll finish it, but I'm a bit stressed over it. Thanks for the
  13. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    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...
  14. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    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...
  15. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    That makes sense. Thanks.
  16. If I'm working Friday and Saturday nights, I get up early Friday morning, take a nap later in the day, and go in to work. Then I sleep Saturday during the day, and after work I stay up until about 5...
  17. Having trouble....

    How long ago did you apply? I applied for a new job a month ago, and employers are just calling me now. If someone offers you a part-time job, take it! Experience is experience, and it could lead to...
  18. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    Do we have class on both Thursday and Friday? My September calendar says so, but I registered for NURS-102 and 104, and both just say
  19. Stressed out

    Thanks, everyone. I think I will just cut my hours down for
  20. Stressed out

    Hey all. I'm a CNA, working at a LTC facility for a few months. I've been reading through the threads here, and it has been very eye-opening, to say the least. A lot of the problems I've been having,...
  21. Stressed out

    Thanks. Money isn't too much of an issue, as I live with family and have enough saved up for my first year of
  22. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    That seems to be the same as this year, then. By any chance do you remember how much they cost, all together? I have one of the pocket guides but it seems I'll have to buy all the
  23. STCC Nursing Fall 2009

    Wow! I'm glad I found this thread. Does anyone know how many books we'll use during the first semester? I read through the booklist and I wasn't
