    Turd Ferguson replied to 67chevelle's topic in General Nursing

    Google "nursing interview questions", you'll get tons of great sample questions as well as how to and how not to answer questions. Try to avoid simple one sentence answers to questions, be prepared to...

    Turd Ferguson replied to learning&yearning's topic in General Nursing

  18. is 5 months too short to ask for a recommendation letter

    Turd Ferguson replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    Before you ask them to write you a letter of recommendation, always ask them if they will be able to write you a GOOD letter of recommendation! If they answer yes, then you have the green-light to...

  19. Does volunteering at a hospital REALLY increase your odds of being hired there later?

    Strictly volunteering may not give you a leg up on others on a job in a specific area, but it will open the door for you to meet people and show your character to your future prospective employers....

  20. New RN's...do you have a job ?

    Turd Ferguson replied to pat8585's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Turd Ferguson replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Men in Nursing
