  1. Externship interview questions...help!

    Most interviewers ask behavioral questions - in other words, "tell me about a time when..." You can answer those with scenarios from clinical experience, from volunteering somewhere, pre-nursing jobs, from school projects - it doesn't all have to be ...
  2. Direct entry MSN worth over $100,000 in debt?

    From personal experience, and from being a clinical instructor, I would encourage her to do an accelerated BSN program. She can probably complete the program faster than she'd be able to do the MSN. It will involve less debt, and she can always go b...
  3. Anyone NEVER been hit/hurt working psych?

    This is a great topic, and I love reading the answers in this thread! I've worked psych for about a year, plus I have ~6 years experience in med-surg, NICU, mother-baby, and home health. I've only been swung on / thrown things at on the ...
  4. Duke Fall MSN 2021

    I got in! PMHNP post grad certificate. Fingers crossed for everyone else!!
  5. One Page Resume?

    Speaking from experience as a nursing leader in a hospital, hiring nurses: for a new grad nurse, there's no need to go beyond one page. More than a page for a new grad nurse would put me off, even if you're a second-career nurse. It gives the impre...
  6. Duke Fall MSN 2021

    The next two weeks? The suspense is killing me!
  7. Opinions on KSU BSN program

    I'm a current student in the accelerated program. It's intense, but it's well respected and the caliber of students is great. There are some organizational pitfalls, like it's hard to get information about what to expect for future semesters. I have ...
  8. Calling all moms

    I'm the mom of 3, ages 4, 6, and 8. I'm in my last semester of prerequisites, and I've been accepted to an accelerated BSN program starting in January. First, let me say that this board has been really helpful to me. When I start my accelerated progr...

    I just got my acceptance letter for the Accelerated program! :) In case you were wondering, my Degree Works has not changed. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!

    I didn't get anything in today's mail either. And my Owl Express hasn't changed. I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow!
  11. Kennesaw Spring 2013 applicants

    I'd planned on wearing a skirt, but there was horrible rain Tuesday morning and I had to hike across campus from chemistry. I ended up wearing high-heeled boots, wool slacks and a cap-sleeve shirt, and was very comfortable. I have to say, having comf...
  12. Kennesaw Spring 2013 applicants

    I just came from my interview. I think it went really well. I interviewed with 2 ladies, and both were super nice, easy to talk to. The person before me didn't show up for his interview, so that made me (selfishly) happy! It was those behavioral int...

    How do you set up a mock interview?
  14. Kennesaw Spring 2013 applicants

    I got my letter - and I got an interview for the accelerated program! Good luck to everyone else!
  15. Kennesaw Spring 2013 applicants

    Congrats, trixjones... Mine still says the same thing as before - not selected. I'm not going to accept that as conclusive yet though. Still hoping that they just haven't changed all the stuff in the system, and the rest of us will get our good news ...
