Just spreading some hope for new GN's. I just moved to this area, knew no one, and have an ADN (which in the north east is a disadvantage) and had 3 interviews. I was offered all three jobs. My advice, for what it's worth- Persistance is key. I ca...

I got a lot of behavioral questions: Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a co-worker, how did you handle it? Tell me about the a difficult patient and how did you handle it? Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a patient. Tel...

Joella I def. think you have a chance of landing a job here. Just make sure they know you are in this area long term. I think that scares employers most about seeing out of state applicants.
I changed my test date to Feb 1st because if I took it on Thursday I wouldn't get the quick results until Monday...and that would drive me absolutely CRAZZZZY

I just got my ATT and scheduled for Feb 3rd too!! I'm concentrating on Mosbys comprehensive with the CD cover to cover, throwing some lippincott in there and Davis's NCLEX RN Notes has a CD too that has questions as well.

I live in Rhode Island and have been applying in Mass with no luck as a new grad....however, IMO I think if you can get hired directly out of school as a GN the 6 month experience will help you in this area.

popgoesweasy replied to katyb213's topic in Rhode Island
Yes it was 12/28 that she emailed back. The job now says not taking any more applicants, so they must be looking over applications now. Does your lifespan account say anything about your application being under review? or does it just say applicati...
popgoesweasy replied to katyb213's topic in Rhode Island
I wonder how many applicants they are interviewing, and how many they are taking....I emailed and they said they are choosing "shortly"....Joella are you located around Newport? Interested in studying for NCLEX at all?
