  2. Good trait you have counts against you!

    whichone'spink replied to timidgirl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, I feel for you. I believe though, she only mentioned your personality because for some reason she did not want to hire you. Maybe it was a personality clash, or maybe she feared you knew too...

  3. What is the right answer to "Where do you see yourself in five years?"

    whichone'spink replied to *4!#6's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've formulated an answer with Benner's Novice to Expert theory baked in. I will basically mention the theory says it takes about 5 years for a novice nurse to become an expert in their specialty,...

    I have been invited to a new grad fair, where different managers will be at the fair and potential candidates interview managers for a set time. Like speed dating. Having already had an interview,...

  6. At what age do you plan on retiring from nursing?

    whichone'spink replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

    By my mid-30s, when I finally become a PA. For now, I still have a lot of pre reqs to complete, and since I will be paying for this on my own, it will take longer. Sent from my iPad using...

  7. Not satisfied with Kaplan

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the advice. There are some areas that I am strong in content-wise, but in all of them, including the weak areas, it's decision questions that get me. I've learnt my lesson. NCLEX reviews...

  10. Eating a new nurse for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or is it?

    whichone'spink replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    whichone'spink replied to hgerun's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, all my four references completed their surveys. Let's see what happens next. And while I'm bummed I completely missed the ER nurse resident position, other specialties take new grads. And...

    whichone'spink replied to NYtoCAtoNY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    all fine and well, but when it's lumped in with a threat to your job, well, it's hard to learn a lesson from that. the managers attitude strikes me as "smile, or

  13. Interview for an ED training program

    whichone'spink posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Only a day after graduation, I get a call from a manager to schedule an interview next week. My initial excitement has now faded to anxiety. For other new grads who have interviewed for a new grad...

  15. Good trait you have counts against you!

    whichone'spink replied to timidgirl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am quiet and deferential to others, especially those with lots of experience. Quiet can often be misperceived as socially awkward, and yes, this was used against me recently during a practicum...

  16. What's the difference between a graduate nurse and an experienced nurse?

    whichone'spink replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    A graduate nurse is shocked when a fellow nurse stabs her in the back.An experienced nurse has enough knives in her back that she looks like a porcupine. Hell, she's probably returned the favor many...

    whichone'spink replied to kesmarn's topic in General Nursing

    My floor has had a lot of new hires, many of them are young. The young ones are new grads, and the older ones are transfers from other floors. I haven't seen an older new grad, yet. Holy crap, I...

  18. Interview for an ED training program

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    whichone'spink replied to hgerun's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Would it be inappropriate to send an email to the recruiter asking for my resume to be forwarded to the ED manager? How did I not see this

  22. memorial health Co springs new grad

    whichone'spink replied to hgerun's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I didn't see a separate position for the ER nurse residency. I only saw one position for the RN 2012 New Grad. I think they forward resumes to the ER manager for consideration, at least I hope

  23. Interview for an ED training program

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Interview went well, I think. I was in front of a panel (oh dear God!), which consisted of the assistant manager, 5 nurses including 2 charge nurses, and one tech. So a wide array of people who...

  24. Students nursing during EMR go-live

    whichone'spink replied to jappey17's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked on the night we updated to the newest version of Meditech. Even with extra staff, the ED was a hell hole that night. I don't think the floor was all that different. Not a good...
