scott5698 ~ You have answered your own question highlight your incredible compassionate care and your interpersonal skills.

I did the same thing. I first just listed my schooling, skillset and past jobs. I got one interview out of about 30 resume's sent out. The I started thinking that I need to market myself better so I re-wrote my resume to add more information about...

I heard that the funding is erratic and the rules can be tough. Call them and get all the details before you move forward. I ended up being able to receive unemployment while not having to look for a job, because they had a program if it was an "in...

That is one thing about Wayne State. The advisors and most everyone in the office is rude. It is nearly impossible to get an advisor to speak with you (I'm not sure what they are there for). Not to worry, I'm sure your GPA is fine.

I personally would practice how and why you are answering the questions the way you are. You really need to look for key words and clues in the answers and questions such and "alike answers" etc. THEN you need to take that with you to the NCLEX. ...

I did complete the program. I had a 4.0 going in, but I know for a fact that wasn't the case with everyone. The interview was basic and easy. I'm sure your volunteering would help when they make their choices.

Any hospital I've ever been at also just uses "no BP R/L arm". According to them too much information is a Hipaa violation.

Graduated with my BSN 3 days before my 46th birthday!

Without seeing your resume it is hard to say. Do you focus more on your skills (the ones you are expected to have) or your strong points and accomplishments. Did you personalize a cover letter stating your desires and what makes you the best candid...

LOL ~ I love when my upper lip sticks to my upper front teeth because my mouth is dry, then I have to walk around looking like I have tardive dyskinesia as I do tongue thrusts to generate some saliva!

I would simply call and ask why you haven't heard back and let them know you are still interested in a position.

You may get an answer in the "Denver" thread. It's under the U.S. Tab at the top.

You don't need to sound like you are lacking ambition BUT you need to be completely honest. Why don't you say, I've done this and I've done that and I've found that what I really enjoy is "this" and that is where I think I belong. "I've found my ca...

First off, I would say not to worry too much about making friends with the "cool" crowd. That may be one of your problems in and of itself. There is no "cool" crowd. Focus on making a friend or just getting to know any one of your coworkers. Just...

I agree with both sides. Some people have legitimate questions and want to vent or socialize. I myself do a lot of research through old forums and the web and then I post here if I need more. On the other hand when I see "how do I become a nurse" o...

I did the traditional program at Wayne and had some friends in CD2. Everything you have accomplished sounds fine. Not everyone in my class or the CD2 class had 4.0's. Go for it!!!!

At Wayne State we went to all Metro Detroit Area Hospitals. Including Pontiac, Livonia, Royal Oak and Down River in addition to Detroit Hospitals.

I had to take the HESI Med Surg (and about 10 other HESI I exams, including a comprehensive). What I learned is DO PRACTICE QUESTIONS!. We were given the online HESI Program to do practice online. I also used Saunders. For me it was about 50% kno...

I went to Wayne for the traditional program and only took a couple classes at WSU. The rest I took at Henry Ford. Some classmates took all of their's at WSU some took none. It really depended on your overall GPA and your science GPA,, and of cours...

Wayne State says they get thousands of applications and take 48 traditional and 48 second degree each year. You don't need 4.0 but over a 3.5 would help. My class lost about 8 students over the course of the program. Some dropped out, some failed....

I went to Wayne State. The hospitals that I did my clinicals at all said they really liked the Wayne State students. I was a really hard program, but very rewarding. You will learn a lot!

Three years. You start as a sophomore.

Daytonite......LOL ~ I love your answer. I've had tough instructors but they have all been "on our side". I loved them all so far. If you think an instructor is tough just wait until clinicals and you have to work with a nurse that's a bully. I h...

Its not only about pitching in and helping CNA's. As an RN, it is YOUR patient not the CNA's. You better know AT LEAST as much as they do about every type of care. Not to mention, there is no better way to inspect your patients skin integrity and ...

You also may want to see if your college has a health clinic. I got mine done here pretty cheap. Not to mention they were familiar with all the paperwork they needed to fill out.
