I wore business casual for my interview. Every time I have had any kind of an interview, and the interviewer asks me "Do you have any questions," I usually focus the question on them asking, "What brought you into nursing?" or "What is your favorite part of working in the medical field?" etc. Not saying it's the "correct" thing to say, but it has ALWAYS worked to my advantage. Job interviews, school interviews, etc! I hope it helps you!

Okay not a doctor, but someone who lives in my town that I knew growing up. Pardon the raunchiness... Sharon Hiscock If you don't believe me...check out Facebook.

Hi! I posted something in reply to you, LFCLay, and I have no idea why it didn't show up so I'm sorry! I'm sure at this point you took your CPR class =). Well Orientation starts tomorrow, and class begins Monday! Yay! LFClay I will see you tomorrow!

If it means anything, I doubt you're alone :) I think a lot people are having credit issues/ filing for bankruptcy in this economy. If they were to discriminate against you, they would have to discriminate against MANY others. Including me! I had to BK due to hefty hospital bills back in the day. Good luck!

Hi guys obviously its been a while! I ended up taking a BLS class today with a friend rather than Kaplan's CPR class...It was fairly easy...but my arms are sore haha! Sadly! One more week before school starts and I am getting very excited! How's everyone else doing?

I am doing days at Kaplan. So it will be Monday thru Friday 8:00 - 5:00. Although, and I would love someone's input on this, I've heard from a few people that lecture never goes past 3:30 or 4:00...I am curious to find out if this is true or not...

Thanks again for the info. I would like to work at least a few days a month...perhaps during the weekends to earn a few bucks...haha! I have a two year old and one of my loans I am starting to pay back immediately so... I will take the CNA test...seems a waste not to...My buddy works in assisted living and said she could definitely give me a few per diem shifts a month...so I'm gonna take it!

I get that reaction...I had kidney stones and refused narcotics (I have terrible side effects i.e. non stop vomiting) They finally convinced me to take Demerol..but they thought I was nuts!

Okay I'm silly I forgot about the prior post..you have been a CNA for quite a while LOL

Thanks so much for the info!!! I appreciate it..and LFClay10 thanks for the info on the flash cards..I appreciate that as well! I'm getting more excited the closer it gets!! Nurseinthemaking2...Did you get your CNA license? Did you start working? My friend said it's good to do if you can and work a few days per diem here and there to get some experience and your foot in the door...what is your opinion? Thank you

Yes I second that please!!! PS. Congrats...you're just about done aren't you? That's awesome.

That's scary. You think someone who has a misdemeanor of domestic violence should have a time limit and it just should just be waved from their "permanent record" without any questions asked??? Or theft, loaded firearm in a public place, indecent exposure. All of these things are recognized as misdemeanors, and the list goes on. You cannot place a "time limit" on a crime committed because every case is different! A man punches a wall...domestic violence. A man beats the you know what out of his girlfriend, misdemeanor. Sure it has the potential to be a felony, but nine out of ten times the DA does not take the case on. So do you truly think it fair to put the man who punches a wall with the man who tried to obliterate his girlfriend? Or do you think it's safe to say okay guy who beat up his girlfriend, you have to wait five years, and you have to be on your best behavior and not kill your girlfriend, but then we will give you a license no questions asked...That's just crazy. That's like saying there should be a set jail time for people who commit crimes. There is a reason we have court, judges and trials.

Ohh...my mistake! June 17th- 9AM

I will see you there! CPR class is Friday June 10th from 9AM to 2 PM. It's $31.00. I like the idea about the stain remover that really is a good idea!!! Do you have a Facebook? That way we know who we're looking for in class!! I finally got back my background check/drug test back...65.00..blech...

Awesome Lyn!!! I found a cool link on here that someone posted for nursing fundamentals through brooksidepress.org that I have been reading over. I'm excited to find someone else going through this program! yay! We will have to meet up at orientation!...Have you looked into white shoes yet? That's about the only thing I have left to do...buy my shoes haha! Are you CPR certified yet or are you takin the class in June?
