  1. UAB's FNP program - stats?

    Thanks for your reply! I've been wondering about when I want to apply - most people have told me to wait a couple years. Do you think it was harder for you compared to others who had more work...
  2. Quick question for night-shift nurses

    LOL, don't be embarassed. It's easy to overlook simpler solutions sometimes. My first clinical instructor gave us all CVS penlights that we could put behind our name badges (and they have the...
  3. 2 page resume, what to do?

    The advice career services gave me was to use short, 1-line phrases with "action words" (obtained, applied, administered, etc), and then to narrow them down to your 6 most impressive
  4. Quick question for night-shift nurses

    During my peds clinical, my instructor didn't want us to wake the kids up when we first got there; she wanted us to keep the lights off and just use the light coming in from the hallway or use a pen...

    I am a senior BSN student, and I tried to take ACLS at a local hospital during my 2 week break in May. I paid for the class and even told the lady who signed me up that I was still a student. I got...

  12. Chattanooga area

    I am graduating from Kennesaw State University (in Ga) with my BSN at the end of July. I live right smack between Chattanooga and Atlanta, so I am looking at hospitals in both cities. I recently...
  13. I have an interview coming up with a recruiter at Kennestone in Atlanta, Ga. I was wondering if anyone had any insight/advice on what kind of questions the Kennestone recruiters like to ask and how it...
