5. Violated NCLEX rules

   Lauren the RN replied to virtouso's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

6. ma2cna = a well rounded nurse?

   Lauren the RN replied to Kaligirl02's topic in Nursing Career

   Here's the deal. Will having MA/CNA experience make you a more well rounded nurse? Maybe, maybe not. In nursing school you'll meet people with no previous patient care experience and also people with...

    Lauren the RN replied to Izzy11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree, it seems like an overreaction to fire you for that. Sorry to hear about it.

12. should I go to an interview

    Lauren the RN replied to treeye's topic in Nursing Career

    Yeah go. My first interview was a disaster (sorry, hope that doesn't make you nervous) but my next few were way better because of that experience. I don't get too anxious about stuff like interviews...

    Lauren the RN replied to Izzy11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wait, I'm confused. Why did the CNA put 92%? If they saw 78 and she put 92, and the only number you knew atm was 92, how are you in

    Lauren the RN replied to Gratefulprn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
