  1. Interview Call Back

    justin.j replied to Gem0607's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The wait is always the worst part! Try to keep yourself busy. Exercise, read a book, take care of late spring cleaning...most importantly hang in there and good luck!

  2. Why do you feel that nursing is for you?

    justin.j replied to nyroshan's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Although your story is very moving, it's way too personal for an interview. That's not to say that you shouldn't mention how your personal life has lead to your decision, you just need to present it...

  3. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    justin.j replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    Way go to on the weight loss! Getting fit is no easy task. :) Regarding your story, it made me laugh, not because of the situation, but because it reminded me about the other day. Out of the blue,...

  4. RT to RN student @ Excelsior anyone else? Or advice?

    justin.j replied to Hyperbaric4u's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm not sure how you learn, but for me I knew I couldn't just memorize that the bones of the wrist are: Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate....ugh. Buuut, I...

  5. Interviewers asked me about other job interviews...

    justin.j replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nah, even the most unethical recruiters that I worked with wouldn't go that far. I wouldn't sweat it.

  6. Very first interview in nursing, first interview in 12 years

    justin.j replied to vampymegs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi Megs, Given that I'm still a nursing student, I can't give you pointers on the interview content, but as a former recruiter in HR, I can definitely give you a few simple tips for the actual...

  7. Interviewers asked me about other job interviews...

    justin.j replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Before going back to school for nursing, I worked in HR and was part of a recruiting team. Some of the other folks in my department would ask that question, make a note of it, and then unfortunately...

  8. AN STUDY GUIDE?

    justin.j replied to carvit3308's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Aongroup1990, I got your PM, but because I don't have enough posts, they wouldn't let me respond. However, I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you! :) You asked about the NCLEX rn or pn, but...

  9. Devastated :(

    justin.j replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    The only thing I can think of is "ouch"! I can only imagine how difficult that is to hear, and I'm so sorry you had to go through it. But, while getting the generic letter definitely would have been...

  10. Excited, and Angry

    justin.j replied to veroniicaxoxo's topic in Nursing Career

    My personal opinion is that NAs can very much be considered part of the field of nursing in that it really does help to get your foot in the door and help you become comfortable around patients. But...

  11. Is the LPN program the same as the first year ADN?

    justin.j replied to countrygirl1234's topic in General Students

    Before being accepted to an RN program, I had been accepted to an LVN program, so I had a chance to see the class flow for both programs. I definitely agree with both of the previous posters. The role...

  12. Anyone starting at Bay State in the fall???

    justin.j replied to miche22's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi there, It looks like this thread hasn't been used in a while, but I figured I'd take a shot just the same. I'm applying at Bay State and was just wondering if either of you ended up attending Bay...

  13. Bay State college nursing entrance test?

    justin.j replied to blanc1986's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi there, Just found these boards and your questions, so you've probably had them answered already, but figured I would respond with what I know just the same. :) To be honest, I'm not sure if I can...
