  1. What was your GPA when you were accepted into the BSN program?

    avaloncar replied to supermom.of.3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    avaloncar replied to Zerkenzy's topic in New York Nursing

    avaloncar replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    For me I always say I would like to continue my education. I never say specifically what I want to do. But employers ask that "in 5 years" question. I think employers love to hear that you want to...

  6. How would employers look upon this?

    avaloncar replied to CanCan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wouldn't worry about that. I don't think the managers say oh it was only 21 beds? They will look at your experience and how you were able to handle your patient load. If you think you could get a...

    avaloncar replied to britthohenbrink's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    avaloncar replied to Zerkenzy's topic in New York Nursing

  21. What Experience is More Valuable? CNA, EMT or EKG Tech

    avaloncar replied to claudianyc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think for nursing, CNA would be best. I was a CNA for many years prior to becoming a nurse and it helped tremendously. The other positions are great too but then again, if you can get into any of...
