So I just received a job offer for a PRN job that is perfect for my specialty and what I want to be doing. However, during the interview the nursing director asked how much I wanted to work, and I said 1-2 days a week. She said it could be more or co...

Again, thank you everyone for your insightful responses and sharing your experiences! I will be contacting the nurse recruiter tomorrow and asking the minimum PRN requirements for the health system and clinic. Should I mention to her my concern abou...

Yes JKL33, there are no weekend or holiday requirements since they are a small clinic and closed then. :)

Thank you, everyone! So if I find out the minimum for the PRN nurses for the facility, I can go off of that even if it's different from what the nursing director was thinking? I'm totally game for finding out the minimum number of days and going fro...

Thank you for your responses! I have been in communication with a nurse recruiter for the hiring process. She called me Wednesday afternoon to give me the job offer and I have been trying to figure out childcare stuff and such since. Do I contact her...

I do have volunteer work history that I can add as well as references. I just didn't know if it made it too bulky as this is already a full page on Word.

Hi there! I am a RN with 1 year experience working in Labor and Delivery and Postpartum. I am looking to go elsewhere for PRN work (mainly Postpartum Units and Dr. Offices) and wanted some critique for my resume, as I have not updated it since gainin...

I just bought a transcript from when I took the TEAS last year to send to the school I'm applying to, and when I bought the transcript it says it was sent to my school. However, when I look at the "Order Details" under "Shipping Information" it has m...

Hello! I have recently graduated from nursing school and passed the NCLEX-RN. Today I had an interview for my dream job, and I felt it went extremely well. I'm in the process of writing my thank you notes (as I interviewed with several people) to sen...

That was my thought as well. I just wanted some others' input as I didn't want to come across as too "stuffy". Thank you!

I'm applying to the Reading School of Health Sciences nursing program for the fall of 2012. Anyone else going to be applying? I do have a question about the application process though. I applied and was accepted to DCCC's nursing program for the fal...

It's best to go by what each individual hospital's guidelines are. I asked the same question on here not too long ago (due to different posts I was seeing about getting jobs prior to NCLEX) and received varying advice. The main consensus was to only ...

Hello! I'm heading into my final months of nursing school (I graduate in July!), and I had a question regarding applying for RN jobs. I have spoken to several instructors about applying for jobs before graduation, and I was told I can only apply for...

Thank you for your responses in clarifying that! I thought that was the case in applying for RN jobs. I was just reading several posts on here where students were applying for GN and RN job positions and wanted it clarified. Yes, there are a few plac...

I'm currently a nursing student, and within the next few months I'm hoping to apply for a surgical assistant position at my hospital. This position at my local hospital is basically the same as a PCA position but in the OR. I want to become an OR nur...

Thank you! I had a perioperative experience a few weeks ago and absolutely loved the OR! I want to become more knowledgeable about the OR, so I know it would be an incredible learning experience to work in this position.

Hi there! The requirements for this job are the same as a PCA. I realized after I lost the editing capability that I used improperly used tech and assistant interchangeably. The actual position title is a Surgical Care Assistant (which is different f...

Yes I am! :) What a small world! I can't believe school is just around the corner.

The school I'm starting at distributes a CRT, and it is an iPod touch. I'm not sure what software is downloaded onto it, though. I've heard from other students from my school that it's helpful. :)

My school has the same shoe requirements as you, and I got the Nurse Mates Dove after reading reviews on several popular nursing shoes. They are very economical in comparison to other shoes out there! Another added benefit is they have a leather stai...

Congrats!

Congrats, Bucky! And I'm in the day tract with the both of you!

Congrats! :yeah:Glad to "meet" another classmate! :)

Hi, Kayla! The wait is definitely hard. I'm glad to hear the committee is meeting soon (although I'm sure it feels like an eternity away! :) ) Good luck! I hope you hear from them soon and get that acceptance letter!

That's great you're getting a head start on studying! Since you have plenty of time, you'll be able to fully see what areas you're strong in and devote the majority of your study time to reading and understanding the areas that need improvement. What...
