learning&yearning

Hi guys! I recently graduated from a BSN program in New Orleans. I started applying for local jobs in December and have no had any luck. After taking NCLEX-RN yesterday, I am now searching again. I've read about new grad residency programs online,...

You can purchase Hurst online and watch the videos at your convenience rather that attending a live review.

During my first interview, the NM was aware that I was a new grad. She acknowledged my grocery experience and said that she knew many of my answers would come from that experience. I was very relieved! I had quick answers for all of the questions ...

I read somewhere that your pulse ox wouldn't be calibrated and checked with those on the unit therefore you couldn't use it. idk though...

relax while you can!

What are those things?

1 hr 5 or 10 min for 75 questions.

I took NCLEX at 8 am and did questions til 11 the night before. I even studied notecards in the car before I went in for the test. I don't recommend this but the point is this: do what makes you feel good! Good luck! :)

and MONEY.

When I started out in college, I was more interested in partying and friends than my GPA. By the time I was eligible to apply for nursing school, I didn't because I knew I wouldn't be accepted (my GPA was 2.9 which was above the minimum requirement ...

graduate nurse.

During my first degree, I had three different roommates in a dorm. The first ended up being one of my best college friends. The second was great but we don't really keep in touch. The third stole my check book and credit cards! lol! I think it's ...

i cried! and then got on my knees (literally)! I sent my mom an inconspicuous text, signed Lauren, SN. She was like, "What's an SN?" lol

So is it alright to call them Ms. FirstName? Or only right to say Ms. LastName? My cousins (from NY) tease me (from the South) for this saying Ms. FirstName while they say Ms. LastName. :) I guess if I continue to live in the South I can say Ms. ...

I didn't want to tell my peers that I got hired at first because I was scared of that reaction. Good luck to you!

just wondering. :redbeathe

This makes me laugh.

I had an interview last Thursday. I found out today that I was not selected for the position. The entire process starting from when I arrived at the hospital for the interview until today seems (for lack of a better word) sketchy. Anyway, now that...

I was offered the job!

I had an interview yesterday. When I arrived, I was informed that I would be interviewing with someone other than with whom the interview was scheduled. The interviewed told me that she was new to interviewing. The interview went well, in my opini...

I was offered the job!

TAKE IT! You have all of us jealous! :redbeathe

During the past few weeks, as I was preparing for NCLEX-RN, I often found myself on allnurses.com. I appreciated being in touch with so many who were going or had gone through what I was experiencing. It became my guilty pleasure during my study br...

I see where you're coming from. I couldn't believe how much the 1 hour and 15 minute interview focused on patient satisfaction. I didn't get asked about apples though. Her questions seemed to be direct, but I could be very wrong.

I think it's unpredictable these days. I had an interview today and the NM was more interested in my 9 year history at a grocery store than my clinical experiences as patient satisfaction/customer service is a must.... Never know...
