  1. Meet nursing managers or wait for HR?

    Rednights replied to QueeenB's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Long term care... Go in person. As I've read before... In person in the hospital... Need to be lucky. I suppose it's how well you sell yourself blocking your way to the unit

  2. How long is the average wait before an offer?

    Rednights replied to bluebeetle7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  3. What are the best supplementary books for Med Surg I?

    Rednights replied to JasonKa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  4. Driving an hour to school there and back

    Rednights replied to SarahStoddard14's topic in General Students

    As others pointed out you'll be driving more in the long run with the LPN route. The 45 minute drive is a great time to review for tests. I spent the time going over info in my head during the ride....

  5. Failed the pre-employment talent screening test

    Rednights replied to Misskala's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You always pick the right or left side answer (agreed 100% of disagree 100%) on those. Never middle. And of course don't pick the controversial

  6. graduated in dec 12 and still no hospital job-nyc area :(

    Rednights replied to nursek2013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    NYC area only? You need an incredible amount of luck to land a job in the hospital, worse yet you've been hired already so that "new grad" title is off the table. If I had one choice of the other, I'd...

  7. Advice for 22 yo male in nursing

    Rednights replied to BosPediRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Rednights replied to vintagemother's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  10. Proper etiquette for filling out applications on site

    Rednights replied to Jmira.BSN.RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What you're doing is fine. I got my first nursing job going in person from LTC to LTC. The DON interviewed me on the spot when I walked in and I got the job right there and then. It's been 1.5 years...

  11. Opportunities After Nursing Home Employment

    Rednights replied to mcRN2b's topic in Nursing Career

  15. Resume help

    Rednights replied to oluchika's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it's a bit too general and should be trimmed / tailored a bit better for nursing. Meh who cares. Clinical Rotation / Experience horribly under-detailed / expanded on ... didn't even reach...

  16. Is this act considered cheating on NCLEX-RN test?

    Rednights replied to itk3838's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you can scribble it onto a dry board ... you don't have to do it at all. Come prepared. Don't give them any reason something is fishy going

  17. Will EMT experience help?

    Rednights replied to Mrs.Hyder's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Into ED yes, EMT does help quite a lot. Who knows about ICU, you'd have to back up that EMT with some amazing grades, interview, and pure luck

  18. Do i need that state's licenes before applyin for work?

    Rednights replied to Inori's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  19. experience before entering the nursing program

    Rednights replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Resume question-objectives?

    Rednights replied to oztizz184's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I did, it's like a single line ... it won't kill you. Keep it simple. Obviously RnrRWe's situation is a good example of why you should have it

  21. Am I rushing? Thinking LPN instead of RN

    Rednights replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you cannot move, you MUST scope the area if there are actually LPN jobs (read: ... almost guaranteed) available in your area, otherwise your education is going to be a waste and if you do get a LPN...

  23. Frustrated!!!!!!! Am I alone on this?

    Rednights replied to JenniferS_CNA's topic in General Students

    Don't be so quick to judge people. Admission saw something of merrit to accept this person into nursing school. Don't let the success of others get you so flustered, you won't get anywhere, and keep...
