  3. Will computers take over the CRNA profession?

    MikeJones replied to MosquitoXEL's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    MikeJones replied to nursecat64's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  7. New grad interview help

    MikeJones replied to Newrngrad1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you ever had a clinical instructor evaluate you? If so, you should have come across some weaknesses that they should have pointed out to you right there, unless you're perfect :) Those weaknesses...

  8. What do you wear to an interview?

    MikeJones replied to LynnLRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    wearing a suit is fine, just make sure it is not too loose/big and not too small but looks "fitted." To solve the "boring" funeral look, just wear a colorful shirt under the suit

    MikeJones replied to meownur's topic in Texas Nursing
