    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Kaysmom8's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This came highly recommended to me. I completely changed my resume to follow it and I really believe it made a difference....

  2. Should I pursue a career as an RN? Help

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to xlightx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMO if you don't feel passionate about nursing (at least in the beginning) nursing will eat you up and spit you out emotionally and physically. And you patients will feel your lack of passion. Find...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to cc8671's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you tried LTC or Home Health? I agree with PP, you are in a really tough spot with only a diploma.

  5. Adding clinicals to a resume

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to shall62's topic in General Students

  6. Nurse Aides?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to x0xerika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many hospitals will let you if you are a student nurse, or they have student nurse positions (which is still a CNA really). I HIGHLY recommend this. Its hard work, its not glamorous, and its not even...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Nursing entrance essay "Why I want to be a nurse" 500 words or less

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to bfrisby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You want to be truthful, you want it to be interesting, you do want it to be tailored to the school but not in a manufactured way (it will show), you want to be respectful not a kiss ass. I agree with...

  11. do you wash your hair every day?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Knights Nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  18. Career-changer, floundering in the hospital

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to guest464345's topic in Nursing Career

  22. LPN/ADN/RN/BSN differences

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to CallieBennett's topic in General Students

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to sl_94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
