    Interview question

    Kooky Korky replied to delilas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You maybe should have asked the interviewer if she thought your priorities were correct. I do, BTW. Asking coworkers for help is a real 2-edged sword. I think we're supposed to have octopus arms...

    Hardest or craziest interview questions you've ever been asked

    Kooky Korky replied to ixchel's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It sure would be nice if you told us what the "right" answers were. What was this boobie hatch thinking? Did she want to know if she was being badmouthed? Did she want you to use spellcheck? Help...

    Kooky Korky replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If a person does not have further interviews lined up, does that make him or her look uninterested in the specialty and/or the employer? Couldn't someone honestly answer "no" at the interview but line...

    Critique these Interviews for me please

    Kooky Korky replied to Pneumothorax's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Best wishes, do let us know. It sounds hopeful. I would think, too, that they would not have spent all that time with you if they weren't pretty sure about

    Very first interview in nursing, first interview in 12 years

    Kooky Korky replied to vampymegs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sickening. Yeah, it's all realistic, Justin.J, at least for you, but I still think the whole process is just sickening. People want to work because they need to support themselves! They want to...

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

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

    No doubt what you have said is true. I don't mean to insult you, but it seems like such a canned thing. How can you tell if someone telling the truth? Some people are desperate to start earning and...

    If you are a supervisor or manager and you have an employee (the complainor) come to you and complain about another employee, how do you handle this? Do you seek out the view of the person who is...

    Nurses Also Eat Our Old

    Kooky Korky replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you're right, PW. No need for elixirs. The bosses are largely to blame. But there are also just some nurses and other staff who find it necessary to complain about anything and everything....

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

    Kooky Korky replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Well, I guess a graduate nurse expects bosses and patients and families to use common sense and be nice. An experienced nurse expects no more than a paycheck. Sorry for the cynicism. I guess I've...

    Thank You notes

    Kooky Korky replied to Gem0607's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Could you write to the main interviewer only? I'm not sure email is best. Maybe a snail mail thank you card is best. Or is this old-fashioned? I hope you get the

    Do you visit a patent without knowing anything about the patient's condition?

    Kooky Korky replied to 50kn's topic in Home Health

    Kooky Korky replied to little2one's topic in Home Health

    Don't become the Sup so fast. you need time to work as a staff nurse for at least a year. Doesn't mean you can't learn other duties in your free time during that year. Salary - no idea. What state...

    Kooky Korky replied to ErinRad's topic in Operating Room

    Shift wars are as old as I am. And that's pretty old. Just ignore it if you can and keep on doing your best. If you can't ignore it, invite them to come spend a week or so with you on Nights and see...
