   Best way to have it all - work and make your partner stay at home with the baby. (Hey, I'm a feminist and it is a possibility). Otherwise, I would either suck it up and work with a newborn at home, or...

5. Weird Job interview

   tippytootagon replied to yachaaness's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   it's only been TWO DAYS. Give it at least a week. Then follow up ONCE. If they want you, they will contact you. Put yourself in the hiring manager's shoes. Would you hire someone you didn't like just...

10. New grads, How did you list your clinical rotations on your resume?

    tippytootagon replied to grownuprosie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I didn't put any of my clinical rotations on my resume - I got an interview at my first choice hospital and was hired. I agree with Sun that your hiring manager is going to know generally what your...

    tippytootagon replied to ChicagoRN1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
