Had the panel interview for my dream job at HEB. I felt it went well but apparently not enough as I didn't get it. I'm a bit heartbroken. Back to square

I am trying to do the same by obtaining certifications while the so far unsuccessful job search continues. Where were you able to do your NRP skills test and AWHONN fetal monitoring? The only...

Thanks jennyshambles and good luck to you formack! I had my panel interview today. I think I talked too fast, which I do when I'm nervous, but otherwise I feel like I had a pretty decent answer to all...

Yes. It's rough, but at least this time around I have nothing better to do than apply and interview all day! I missed a lot of opportunities that last semester with class and clinical

Most of mine changed to "forwarded to hiring manager" last week, and one went to "interview to be scheduled." Haven't heard anything from them yet this week

Yes, I applied to several OB related positions on March 5 as well and received the online assessment last night. Most of my submission status are still at "application received" but I also have 2 that...

I'm getting the elective out of the way. I've heard S1 is incredibly tough with 3 clinicals (especially Adult II) so I didn't want to add anything on top of that. Plus the electives change every...
NurseMNE replied to kathleenl88's topic in Texas Nursing
Yeah, this last weekish has been hectic. We had clinical, concepts test, assessment test and pharm test in about an 8 days span. Brutal. I would love to knock out classes in the summer but they don't...

You don't get to pick your instructor or class time/day for any class/lab/clinical except for your 1 elective. Everything is assigned to you by section and you get who you get. There is only one...

Yes, and no. You will have a basic knowledge from the various classes to apply to your care plan, and they provide a reference sheet that gives you books to use for help in certain areas of the...

It's rough because you can't always plan ahead, but doable. If you have a good support system, or at least someone for hire you can call last minute when things change- you'll be ok.
NurseMNE replied to kathleenl88's topic in Texas Nursing
Yes, you only have to have 2 completed before the first clinical. Other than the hospital orientation though, clinicals don't start until several weeks in; so if you get started now you'll likely have...

JON!!!!!!!! How's it going? How was nutrition? I still wish you had knocked that out last summer so you could be with us! Ah well, you're here now! Congrats. Advice. Hm. I'd be happy to answer any...

Make sure you're searching under Biology classes, not Nursing. It's there, at least for the Dallas campus. I would also recommend doing face-to-face vs online if you can make it. Online is MUCH...

Congrats future J1's! Make sure you take advantage of the opportunity to get Patho out of the way this summer. It will make a significant difference in your stress level if you don't have to manage...
