    avaloncar replied to hopeseeker23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  2. I just want to cry

    avaloncar replied to CVICUYSRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't overwhelm yourself with a lot of information at this point. Just focus on your weaker areas right now. That is what I did. Because you know what you know. And it will help to focus on your...

  4. NICU interview please help.......

    avaloncar replied to Encast's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  5. Nurses who go on breaks during report

    avaloncar replied to cleback's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would say something. Because report time is report time. I don't see how I am supposed to start a shift without hearing from the nurse who took care of the patient for 8 or 12

  6. 265 questions and 6 hours later, I've been defeated.

    avaloncar replied to ArlyneIvette's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well as everyone else said, DON'T GIVE UP. You may have to focus on topics you are weak in. The test has a way of working on your weaknesses. But for me ATI was awesome. I swear by it. My school...

  7. "For-profit" schools... As bad as they say?

    avaloncar replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    I went to a for profit school. I was very skeptical because I got in so easily. And paid out the wazoo. But you know what? Out of 10 students, one failed NCLEX and she only failed because she had...

  9. Crying?

    avaloncar replied to daisygirl5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh hell yeah! I cried with the family. I was so happy and birth is a beautiful thing. The rest of it (blood, episiotomies, fluid) is just what comes with birth. But one time I started crying and I...

  10. Help me get into the Nurse recruiters head??

    avaloncar replied to Encast's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes exactly, "stuck in the middle". But I hear you it is a battle. But you may have to look outside the box a bit and start contacting agencies. Put your resume on Indeed or Monster. Cover all the...

  14. Why can't I get a job?! No seriously, why?

    avaloncar posted a topic in New York Nursing

  16. Was your education worth it?

    avaloncar replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Nursing

    I have to pay off a butt load of loans. My school was expensive for no reason. I wish it was only 2500, that would be awesome. BUT I do have to say yes it does pay off. Although it is difficult to...

  17. 50 Minute drive to work.... would you take it?

    avaloncar replied to Encast's topic in Nursing Career

    I totally understand. If this is the only thing you are being offered you might as well take it. It was the same issue with my first job, it was the only thing I was being offered at the time so I had...

  18. Help me get into the Nurse recruiters head??

    avaloncar replied to Encast's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    We have very similar stories. I too had to move prematurely and I only have 8 months experience. And I also messed up getting a position by expressing my interest in a full time position when I was...

    avaloncar replied to Katniss88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  21. Shoes for clinical rotation!

    avaloncar replied to mandi_91's topic in General Students

    I loved Danko. My feet and legs never ache after a busy clinical day or shift. For me the leather was easy to clean (white) but of course like any other leather item you have to be careful for scuffs...

  24. Experienced preceptors

    avaloncar replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    You know that is why I had a hard time during my preceptorship during school. My preceptor wasn't very nice. She has a lot of experience under her belt and a lot to offer. I am a very eager person. I...
