    hotflashion replied to LoneRN's topic in General Nursing

    hotflashion replied to emrebeth3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know anything about the career path for Xray technicians, do you know what Xray techs in your area make? Discussing benefits is appropriate for an interview, not before. Also, a cautionary...

  11. IV Therapy Certification/Training

    hotflashion replied to oslogirl's topic in General Nursing

  12. New Grads and Resumes

    hotflashion replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. New Grads and Resumes

    hotflashion replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I assume formatting for both the letter and the resume are screwed up b/c of the way you saved them to Google. But you might want to have a reasonably formatted text version of your resume and cover...

  18. Phlebotomy training

    hotflashion replied to CAM0787's topic in General Nursing

    hotflashion replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

  22. Portfolio vs. Resume

    hotflashion replied to RNStudy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you've been lucky in that the hiring entities have been organized and prepared. From what I've heard from friends who are required to interview job candidates, it's not uncommon to be told...

  23. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    hotflashion replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can tell you, the BSN doesn't help, I have one. Maybe they mean "Get your BSN while you're waiting out this famine." I've had people say to me "Get your MSN." Ha! I actually love being a student but...

  24. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    hotflashion replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  25. Do you identify yourself as a nurse when you or your family are a patient?
