Ok so I had a 2 step interview today with the nursing sup and the DON...here's the scenerio: I got there about 10 minutes earlier, sat quietly and patienlty in the lobby for about 20 or so minutes. Then finally the nursing sup came and got me, we sat...

Thank you for the clarification...interviews are far and few in between so for them to be a little on the weird side is a little unnerving. Just had never had anything like that happen with an interview before...

How is that possible? Dont kno if its ever happened, pretty sure it has, but what if someone gets every answer right? That doesn't make sense that it could be designed to make an individual fail 50% of it, not knowing your individual degree of intell...

Off topic a little but I have a few ?'s about the VA. I have an interview with them coming up. What was the interview process like? The position Im up for is in one of the clinics not the hospital. I have a couple months exp. with the VA from my clin...

I wish I was in your shoes as well. Its good that you are taking the position though and most places that dont give you vigoriuos training should have no problem with you asking ?'s and trying to get better understandings once you are out on your own...

@amandap213 thank you, i have the MA training on my resume but never worked in the field so thats helpful to know...i always kept it on there as a part of my healthcare experience, but no i will be removing it! @mommyX2 Hillcrest is part of the CCFH ...

Thank You for your insight and perspective! But maybe I didnt clarify myself...i started entertaining the idea back in August '10 before I even finished nursing school my husband and I had already discussed it and by the time i went in and spoke to t...

Hello All! Ive been seriously considering joining the military as well esp. since I can not find a JOB. But I already have a family...I went in and spoke with the Army Recruiter he was nice and helpful...he told me to take my time and think about...

@ShantheRN it really is not fair! What makes it even crazier is the are in the paper or on the 'net sayin "needed IMMEDIATELY" What does immediately mean these days? I Thought it meant right now guess it has a new meaning Im not aware of...its like i...

@WSU Ally RN yes I have and I get the same response its not that we wouldn't hire you but the lack of exp. makes it a big risk that we just dont wanna take at this point in time is basically what I hear when they reject my application. Its not like I...

It all depends on your states nursing board...if it is apart of the nurse compact act then you can apply in multiple states that are included in the compact...for instance I live in Ohio and wanted to move to NC ohio is not apart of the compact act s...

Kinda off ur subject, but are they hiring LPNs by any chance?

My friend was in your shoes worrying about a criminal history and the state boards...she had a misdemeanor expunged like 5 yrs ago and was scared to even apply for licensure but did and was approved to take the NCLEX...my answer to you is you really ...
