  1. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    The letter they sent about hearing in January was a mistake. A friend emailed and they ment to put February. So we will not hear for a while

  2. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    This is supper helpful. I am an officer in the nursing association and the treasurer of the Intercultural Association. I didn't think that stuff would come in handy but I did add it to my reusume...

  3. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    Wow that is awesome. I am very surprised they went to the trouble. I would count that as a good sign because I would imagine they have many incomplete applications. I know this was different as it...

  4. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Misty did you look into this? I plan on testing for Wisconsin because I know there are no jobs back in California and Wisconsin is a compact state as is Arizona. I thought the idea of getting...

    Yes definitely. Everyone post when they receive their letters,

  6. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    My friend that told me was in the program and had been speaking to someone in charge of the selection process. She may have used that GPA just as an example. But she said the first dump the GPA's...

  7. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    It really does not take a lot of funds. I used frequent flyer miles for the plane ticket. Then in Malawi I paid 5 USD a month rent staying in the village. I bathed in the lake so there was no water...

  8. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    I was told they only look at the nursing GPA. So with a 4.0 you are golden. Yeah I spent 18 months traveling in Africa and Asia and I volunteered in Malawi in East Africa. Plus they like diversity...

    I hear

  11. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    OH MY GOSH! Tell me about it. It was quite frustrating that they didn't put those things in the description. I know people that applied last year and a resume and cover letter were not a...

  12. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    ayassin23 I don't think they would consider your application incomplete. I just think that it is so competitive that not having a cover letter is just one more way to weed out students. It goes up a...

  13. Companies/Facilities that hire new grads?!?!

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to nodle's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I realize that pretty much any big city in the country is saturated, even the small urban cities. I know I will have to move to a small town. I can totally do that for a year or two. But I don't...

  14. Mayo Clinic Summer III 2012

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to _ac_'s topic in General Nursing

    I was stressing out last weekend trying to get everything together at the last minute. I wrote the essays weeks ago and then when I started to apply it asked for a resume which was not updated so I...

  15. Mayo Clinic Summer III-2011

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to sj73201's topic in General Students

    So I finally submitted the application!!! I went back to the application after putting together my resume, having it checked and checked again. Then I got to the cover letter block. I really wish...

  16. the "mean girls" of nursing school

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    And not all the guys have this lame competition thing. Just a few of them. Maybe it is 35% male but it is pretty high. I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Puerto Rico for nursing school and...

  17. Should I put my CNA certification on my resume?

    WorldTravelingYogi posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it may look weird because time wise it will be listed between my BSN and my BA. Unless I put it somewhere else. This is for a very, very competitive internship I am applying for. I only did...

  18. Should I put my CNA certification on my resume?

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to WorldTravelingYogi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the quick reply KelRN215. I added it but I think it looks weird so I'll take it off. Yeah I know after our first trimester we were able to work as a CNA. I go to school in an English...

  19. the "mean girls" of nursing school

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    Luckily I am in an accelerated second degree Bachelors program and the students range from 22 to 60. We have a lot of older students. No mean girls. Lot's of different personalities but for the most...

  20. Are you "required" to volunteer?

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to brillohead's topic in General Students

    Would you really want less clinical time? I mean you would rather be at a health fair then in the hospital? I would never do that but maybe we have less clinical time then most people. To the OP:...

  21. Mayo Clinic Summer III-2011

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to sj73201's topic in General Students

    This thread just isn't moving like it did last year. Plus a bunch of replies were erased in the update. I didn't realize we needed a resume so I have been scrambling to update mine and after my...

  22. Companies/Facilities that hire new grads?!?!

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to nodle's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have the exact same question as the OP. I posted something similar and mine was moved the the regular job hunting forum. But FNP-2-BE that is exactly my question. How do we find out where the...

  23. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I am officially unsubscribing from this thread. I hired an ADHD coach to get me organized and this is one of many time suckers. So hopefully people that started this past August can jump in and help...

  24. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I'll send you an email. I may know the person. Like I said before this is a small island. There was an opening of a local bar/club right before Christmas break. I know I said I don't normal go to...

  25. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    WorldTravelingYogi replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Avoid parties? Naw don't do that. I am not too into night clubs or loud bars so many of the people I met were at parties. But these are parties of people from school or Couch Surfers or my Puerto...
