    gobananas15 replied to SacramentoNurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hmm. I can't really answer those OT questions as I do not work full time, just PRN until I find an rn position. I know at Parkland they do 8 and 12 hour shifts and I think overtime starts after you...

    gobananas15 replied to gobananas15's topic in Texas Nursing

    I has asked the recruiter about 4 times for the study guide for the med exam and she still hasn't sent it to me. She tells me not to take it until I get it. Today I was told they are still...

  10. parkland jan 2011 residency

    gobananas15 replied to gobananas15's topic in Texas Nursing

    I live and go to school in DFW and currently looking for GN positions, more specifically in Dallas area. Did you say when you are planning to move? Well, to me (as an active GN job hunter) it seems...

  12. parkland jan 2011 residency

    gobananas15 replied to gobananas15's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yea, all the questions were "tell me about a time when you had a difficult patient" and things like that. I think its called situational interview or behavioral? You can look it up for all kinds of...

    gobananas15 replied to gobananas15's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yea, luckily the recruiter was the same for L&D. I scheduled my interview for next Thurs, so I intend to be VERY prepared for this one! I was telling one of my friends about my interview, which...

    gobananas15 replied to gobananas15's topic in Texas Nursing

    The recruiter called me and told me. I asked if she had any information as to why I was not selected and she said she didn't that they just give her a list of people not selected.

    gobananas15 replied to NurseVN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    And also, same thing happened to me I interviewed with a dept that was my dream job and I was not selected. It is very hard to not take it personal! But gotta get used to it I suppose until the right...

    gobananas15 replied to NurseVN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would think it is acceptable....that is what I am doing! At least where I am from, there is limited GN/internships available at every hospital I think they would assume that people are going to be...

    gobananas15 replied to jadu1106's topic in Texas Nursing

  20. HESI EXIT EXAM

    gobananas15 replied to Decemberblues's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the HESI Friday and I passed by 8 points. I thought it was very different then what I was expecting. It did not seem as general as I expected. Most questions seemed to be about a specific...

  21. Customizing your cover letters

    gobananas15 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Also, I don't think you can ever really know if your cover letter helped or not, so I personally don't think it could hurt to write one! You really only need to spend the time to draft up your first...

  22. Customizing your cover letters

    gobananas15 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I hear so many different things about cover letters. Some people say they are useless and some people say thats what gets you an interview. I am no expert, I just wrote my first ones about a month or...
