  2. How Do I Juggle Multiple Job Interviews/Offers?

    whatdoIdonow? posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't mean to annoy anyone with this thread...I know how hard it is to get calls for interviews. I had to wait three months to get my first job interview (I had it this morning)... but after months...

  3. How Do I Juggle Multiple Job Interviews/Offers?

    whatdoIdonow? replied to whatdoIdonow?'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if you accepted the seasonal job and then later backed out because you got a full time offer, though. It's not a major company that you'll be burning...

  4. How Do I Juggle Multiple Job Interviews/Offers?

    whatdoIdonow? replied to whatdoIdonow?'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This experience reminds me of dating in college...I could never date more than one guy at a time because once I knew I liked one of them, I had no interest in the other! But, there were times, when...

  5. The "one thing"

    whatdoIdonow? replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    Happy to say that I encountered zero vomit in my clinicals in nursing school. Maybe you will be so lucky. However, it's probably better if you have to confront it so you can conquer it and move on....

  6. Will paying for ACLS etc myself help me land a job?

    whatdoIdonow? posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not that I have any money left to even do this right now, but... I can take ACLS classes and other certifications for peds, cardiac etc at the local medical university. I just have to pay for it...

    whatdoIdonow? replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My experience was: Micro-had a lab, very time consuming but our professor wrote the text and tailored the course to medicine (skipped the environmental micro and history of micro stuff). Super great...

  8. How To Answer The Most Common Nursing Interview Questions

    whatdoIdonow? replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I understand what you are saying. I had this problem while a student. I would get overly wrapped up in a certain patients' situation and spend too much time on it after clinical was over, researching...

  9. How To Answer The Most Common Nursing Interview Questions

    whatdoIdonow? replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow! It's beyond funny to me to be lumped in with 'child molesters, murderers, drug users or simply rude people' because my children aren't vaccinated. Also beyond funny to me that you don't appear to...

    whatdoIdonow? posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hi Everyone! I'm a new RN...without a job still (shocker)...and definitely a bit clueless as to how I can approach the job search for openings in Doctor's offices and primary care clinics. I would...

  11. Did I fail the NCLEX?

    whatdoIdonow? replied to LucaBella's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I failed at 75 questions. The number of questions does not determine pass/fail. I had several SATA, delegation, priority, put in order, picture, one drug calculation. My test was all over the...

  12. Did I fail the NCLEX?

    whatdoIdonow? replied to LucaBella's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Someone one told me to try this: go back to the pearson website and try to reregister to take the test again. If it won't let you, if it says you already have a file or something to that effect...I...

    whatdoIdonow? replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Nursing

    In my area, LPN's do the same science requirements that the ADN's do- A&P I and II plus Microbiology- but the LPN's exit the program after the second round of medsurg- that's before the abnormal...

    Thanks for the encouragement! I already have the book, I figure I will start studying it and then when the money come, take the class. Hopefully, that will make the information stay with me if I have...

  20. Can a licensed RN work as an LPN or CNA if she never obtained those licenses?

    whatdoIdonow? replied to whatdoIdonow?'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you, everyone, for the input. Here in SC, the CNA must pass a practical examination and renew as well. There are also PCT-patient care techs who do CNA work and aren't certified. This is what...

    whatdoIdonow? replied to blinky's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Substitute teaching here in SC in my district is pretty basic- if you didn't have 60 credit hours of college, you only had to prove basic literacy. It required a two day workshop for $10 dollars and...

    whatdoIdonow? replied to blinky's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Personally, I hate to admit it, but, I think the hospitals realize we learned barely anything in the half-online, clinicals staffed with adjuncts who could care less, nursing 'power point education'...

  25. Can a licensed RN work as an LPN or CNA if she never obtained those licenses?

    whatdoIdonow? replied to whatdoIdonow?'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would like to add: In another post I saw a suggestion for working as a patient aide or siter. Could someone give me some information about how and where to apply for these types of
