    Getting a job - from the employers perspective

    itsnowornever replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    And to further clarify (dont know the OPs application set up) but for the ones I filled out they wanted a chronological "what did you do and where" type of thing. So work, education, unemployment,...

    Getting a job - from the employers perspective

    itsnowornever replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Burn. "Smart enough"....having two kids and going to school full time was job enough. Either way, it's a moot point. I have my jobs, I'm good now. I tried all different ways, on all applications. Dont...

    L&D Interview!!! Freaking out!!!

    itsnowornever replied to knufflebunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only reason I say emergency situations is because thats what a stress question was based about for me--- for being a new grad in L&D how would I handle the stress of a mom/baby suddenly going...

    Can i be a mother/baby nurse if I have never had kids?

    itsnowornever replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was unable to have my children "naturally" and had to have c-sections...doesn't mean I can't help a woman in labor! You will be fine! I'd be more concerned if you said "If I hate teaching can I...

    Help! ATI

    itsnowornever replied to Kagemaru's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My school was ATI based and was a TON harder than NCLEX I felt. One of my instructors said you can't practice questions that aren't created by the same source you are testing off of, for reasons like...

    Severe anxiety at work

    itsnowornever replied to *4!#6's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is what you need to tell yourself every morning and every evening! Caution and being alert is good! You asked for help! You took a moment if you needed it! You will do fine! Nurses aren't born...

    Getting a job - from the employers perspective

    Getting a job - from the employers perspective

    itsnowornever replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Again I have to explain the unemployed time and why is it deceptive when I put down "student nurse" as my title? Glad not everyone thinks like you do!

    itsnowornever replied to itsnowornever's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There is always hope! You just have to find those special people that believe in you and know that with training you too will be as good as the seasoned nurses....after all, even a veteran MedSurg...

    Want to be a nurse in Doctor's Office...which degree? ASN or BSN RN?

    itsnowornever replied to mrspolly's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is true in most cases, but my graduating cohort has seemed to find the DONs who understand that with the right training it can be done. As the CNO that hired me said "I find it best to grow my...

    Getting a job - from the employers perspective

    I listed it and got a job. Not everyone looks at the resume first and you have to explain unemployed gaps on most applications, so what else would I

    L&D Interview!!! Freaking out!!!

    itsnowornever replied to knufflebunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good, but saying you will take a minute on your own is rather scary when you have a baby crowning! Find an example of a stressful time and what quick thinking you did to deal with it or solve the...

    L&D Interview!!! Freaking out!!!

    itsnowornever replied to knufflebunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My questions were pretty normal. Stressful situations, how did u react? How do you handle stress? Why L&D? How have you communicated with doctors? Any time when you had a touchy situation in...

    Need to vent...being volunteered by someone else to do overtime...WHAT?!

    itsnowornever replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't sound right with the hours. Work is work right? My husband is a police officer, his hours writing a report INSIDE are COMPLETELY the same as working patrol OUTSIDE...that's fishy! I'd...

    itsnowornever replied to mrspolly's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Pain management clinics (at least here in So Cal) are small surgical clinics, so the RNs are doing PACU/Recovery work. A friend who works in one say she's busy with assessments and recovery from...

    Interview Monday...Is this a good reason for interview????

    itsnowornever posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    L&D is one of my main areas of choice. The reason why is rather personal. When I had my daughter (my first child) I was in labor 33 hours. For whatever reason I was failing to dilate. (same thing...
