How does this sound? Dear Mr. ABC, Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to interview me about the registered nurse position at the..........Regional Medical Center. I highly appreciate your time and consideration. After speaking with yo...

We are nurses but...We give you small, sometimes sad little smiles as you leave for the night, letting us know that your mom or dad or grandparent is ready for bed. We nod and smile then tell you that we'll be glad to help them back to bed. Once you'...

I graduated from them in 2012. The instructors have changed around a little bit since I've left but there were great the whole way through. There were only a few (it's a big staff) that caused issues but the Director of the program is good about prot...

Hi everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your summer. On my unit, as part of shared governance, I'm one of the editors for our monthly newsletter. We're a med-surg floor. Right now the newsletter has been very basic with just some updates on the unit such a...

I almost always dilute all narcotic IVP meds, but in general if it needs to be diluted I go one of two ways. 1) If I'm using all of the dose from the bottle, I just put a needle on a flush and draw up. So our dilaudid comes in 1mg/1ml ampules so I ju...

I wasn't sure where to put this question, so I put it where I knew the most people would be able to have an input so if I am in the spot, I apologize. I live in Pennsylvania and I recently got my license in August 2012. It expires in Oct 2013 so not ...

I recently got an interview for a job in which they had my original resume. I had updated in the mean time applying and getting the interview. I took the newer one to the interview. The newer one doesn't contain the job I had as a teenager(I'm only 2...

Thanks for the feedback. I just had my first interview Monday, I applied to that job with an older resume but gave them this one included in my portfolio. I think it went okay. I was nervous ekkk crossing my fingers.

I overhauled the whole thing saying pretty much Thank you for your time and consideration. I enjoyed having the chance to interview with you. I look forward to hearing from you soon and added a sentence about a point we talked about in the interview....

Thanks. I was short and simple and added a little personal part to it. Hey, it can't hurt my chances.

I bet they don't to be honest. I only got interviewed by the manager so its easier. I am a card person and they drilled that into me in school as well so I hope it works. Thanks!

I have trouble with putting thoughts on paper. That sounds great actually. Thanks so much. He said I can expect to hear anything by the end of next week because they do backgrounds before they make offers. I think the interview went well save for in ...

Very true. I was just always taught to restate my interest in the job and touch on something talking about in the interview then about I'm a good candidate. Thanks for your advice. I see how it sounds a little like a resume. What do you think about m...

I have been working as an indepedent contractor for a health screening companies and it's very PRN so I never thought of putting it on my resume because of that. I want to now put it on my resume because I don't think it could hurt my chances in job ...

Reading Hospital program = full run of that hospital. I can't tell you how much cool things I got to see and pulled to because I was a student of that hospital.

At Lehigh Valley, are you still considered a GN if you have your license but never worked?

I've searched and searched and really got no answers other than Hershey Medical Center. I live in southeastern Pa. I'm looking for a hospital-based training program to apply to. I'm a new graduate; taking NCLEX later this month.

That's actually the program I'm interested in. I recently graduated from their RN program. I'm having trouble finding information about it. Could you PM me with details?

I've seen this before and it looks amazing. The only downfall in my case is it requires a BSN. I just graduated from hospital-based diploma program.

Just wondering if someone would give me a brief description of what they included in their portfolio. I just graduating so would it be appropriate to include my nursing school transcripts and awards for things such as dean's list? Also, is standard t...

Thanks everyone. Those of you who have interviewed, did you leave a copy of your portfoilo with the nursing manager or anyone? Or was it something you had them look at right there during the interview?
