  1. How do you do a study group?

    Pick01 replied to KLBatchelor's topic in General Students

  3. Pre-Employment Survey Prior to Interview

    Pick01 replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    They are more of a way to see what kind of person you are. Loyal, team player, or loner, so they can see if and where you will fit in. I think they would still interview you. Hope this

  4. Anyone else feel this way?

    Pick01 replied to Crazed_NS's topic in General Students

    The nerves will be there every semester until you get going. Orientation may actually get them going more, as you anticipate the start of the new semester. The nerves will also get worse getting ready...

  5. Accepted! Now what?

    Pick01 replied to mmills63's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Pick01 replied to skighler's topic in Male Nursing Students

  8. Should you arrive on time or super early for job interviews?

    Pick01 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    5-10 minutes early, no more. Earlier you seem desperate, and force them to be uncomfortable making you wait which can work against you. On-time is too close to late, which makes them wonder if you...

  10. Changing careers

    Pick01 replied to MAMAYBE's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  11. Good Idea to Disclose Criminal Background and Stipulations on Cover letter??

    Pick01 replied to lashuna1028's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Pick01 replied to 240zRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
