    magn1jes replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

  9. Pregnant and nursing school... full or part-time?

    magn1jes replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

  10. Likeliness of getting a job without healthcare experience?

    magn1jes posted a topic in General Nursing

    How many of you had previous healthcare experience before getting your nursing job? Are the chances of me getting a job MUCH better with some experience, or is it not really that big of a deal? I am...

    magn1jes replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses. I don't know where I want to work when I graduate, but I do know that I don't want to work in a LTC facility. Things I don't like about my job: the hours, a few lazy...

    magn1jes replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

  18. Job application etiquette

    magn1jes posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just applied for a job online that I would really like, but am kind of kicking myself in the butt now. Instead of applying online, I wish I would have waited (I am very impatient) and gone in...

  19. Job application etiquette

    magn1jes replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for the great responses! The place I applied is a bit smaller, so that's why I was kind of kicking myself for not going in personally. I will be patient, though, and wait until next...

  22. Good grades or CNA experience more important when applying for jobs?

    magn1jes replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, thank you all for the wonderful responses! I think I will turn down the job offer, and look closer to home. I live within blocks of about a dozen LTCs, and it would make more sense than...

  24. Direct care position vs. CNA

    magn1jes replied to magn1jes's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I was told the salary on the phone, and it is much lower than I would get at a nursing home/hospital etc. I will still go to the interview, and will consider...
