    Assisted Living

    BloomNurseRN replied to Stoogesfan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it changes things that you're still in school. Given that you're working on furthering your education, I don't think working on assisted living will hurt you in the

    Online job application and its status! Help!

    BloomNurseRN replied to NurseHailey's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If the manager is interested in you she can go to HR and request your information. It's quite possible that your application was weeded out due to arbitrary criteria and never got past HR. I would...

    Assisted Living

    BloomNurseRN replied to Stoogesfan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think any job in this economy is a good thing. You can always work PRN somewhere else for more experience or volunteer to build skills and keep applying elsewhere. Good

    Disadvantaged not being a CNA/PCT?

    BloomNurseRN replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    I didn't see that as being true. I wasn't a CNA/PCT prior to nursing school but I worked hard and did things the way we were taught. Did well and graduated just fine. :-) Actually, I knew a few...

    I have worked places that ask for applications to be filled out in the office to make sure the applicant can read and write legibly. Yes, it sounds crazy but we had people that turned in beautifully...

    Just got done with interview. Did I get the job???

    BloomNurseRN replied to night_owl_rn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It sounds like it went great but I'm going to be the voice of reason. Leave every interview assuming you don't have the job. Write an awesome thank you follow up letter and then try to move on as if...

    Is it ok to interview for 2 different units in same hospital?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Cls62011's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You should absolutely interview for both! You can easily be interested in each position for very different reasons and I don't see any reason why interviewing for both would be a problem. Telling...

    Pediatric Textbook help

    BloomNurseRN replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing
