    PedsNP2013, that email is attached to my first post. Look for it, it's easy to miss. I suppose it would not hurt to email the nurse recruiter, but aim high and go for the nurse manager. I did state in...

    Exams...how to trust yourself? your instinct?

    tokyoROSE replied to madareebrahim's topic in General Students

    Do you read the rationales of the NCLEX questions? That is the key. Read it, make a note of it and apply it. You can find tips to answering these questions in the NCLEX subforum but it is tricky. For...

    mo2rn, Thank you, this is the least I can do to give back to the AN community for being a great resource for me through nursing school, NCLEX, and landing a job. I am sorry you haven't had much luck....

    I wouldn't email them back. I feel that DONs are not procrastinators, they tend to stick to their word. So let things fall into place. The reason I say this is because I got a call last week for an...

    Pregnancy and dismissal from nursing school

    tokyoROSE replied to Bronxtale's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Missing EIGHT days of clinicals is generous. Mine was one. You can make up some hours, but as many know, make up hours are limited. There were a couple of pregnancies in my cohort and one gal took a...

    tokyoROSE replied to hotnurse408's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    tokyoROSE replied to KATRN78's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Please keep looking, because you never know what you can get. Here's my story. Graduated in December 2011 and got my license February 15th. Did not apply to many places until I got my license, and...

    What do I wear?

    tokyoROSE replied to MeghanHeartsWVU's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My facility says business casual as well, but would it be too over the top if I wore more formal clothes? I absolutely love the business look and want to have an excuse to whip out my blazer, shell,...
