    One thing that's helped me in interviews is to interview like you have nothing to lose. I noticed it with my interview for my newest job. I already had a job, so if I didn't get the position, I had...

    why do nurses discourage nursing students?

    WannaBNursey replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even as a nursing student I worried about those who didn't have a real idea of what working in a hospital was like. I don't know how the students who struggled with only one patient in the past are...
