    wish_me_luck replied to ctrn3478's topic in Nursing Career

    Viva, that's the way VA asks it too. I hated it because I didn't understand whether I answered what they were asking or not. I don't think I am a danger, but it says "could". Well, mental illness...

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi, ya'll, I have been looking around at jobs and there's a few I am interested in. If this one is still open (gets posted again, which I hope so), it's a public health job...part time. Then, there's...

    I am talking inpatient though. Only one of the three is clinic and I don't know if that is going to be an option. It won't be if they have applicants for it. But, the psych positions are inpatient and...

    Your Opinions, please

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know all of them, but I know VA, TX, and TN all ask in some form or fashion about mental illness. There's more states that do, just don't know them all. It's on the application for licensure...

    wish_me_luck replied to LookForward's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Another tip to not get confused on what info was given and what you did/need to report is use two pen colors one for taking report and one for what you did/giving report.

    any experience you have, you need to put down. The reason being if it turns out that they actually want some experience and ask, then what would you say? If you used your externship but didn't put it...

    wish_me_luck replied to HappyRN2323's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't know how your resume is set up, but could you divide it into healthcare experience and "other" work? It makes it look like you have a lot of experience. If you have done LTC, then you probably...
