I have my first job interview after graduating. YAY!! I really want this job, but do not know what to expect or how to prepare. Its in hospital, as a part of their nurse recruit program. I had to apply and I got an interview! Does anyone have suggestions?

I took my second exam and got an 88!! That brought my grade up above the passing limit!!

I'm kind of going through this right now and went through it last year to. Its tough when the nurses aren't excepting of you. I found that one day I was paired with a younger nurse who didn't seem to b bothered by my presence. After dealing with my patient I asked her if she would mind if I went with her to see all of her patients. She said sure. From this point on I was able to ask questions and she was happy to answer them. If this opportunity does not seem to come about talk to your clinical instructor, they should be there to help you and give you advice. Also, keep your ears pealed for nurses talking about special procedures or skills that you have yet to do. Ask if you can either watch or do it yourself. They like when students taker the initiative. I hope this helps!

I'm in my last semester of nursing school and we had our first test this week. I got a 60!!! I had a lot going on at home and clearly did not prepare enough. I've always gotten pretty decent grades and am devastated by this test grade. I was wondering if anyone started out with a horrible test grade and was able to bring their grade up. If so, what did you do differently? Thanks!

I am in the same situation. Keep a planner and plan time to study and get assignments done. Most of all stay positive, if you think you can do it, then you can!! Keep you chin up and stay focused!!
