    chibiRN replied to acmj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. New Grad RN ...Will you critique my resume?

    chibiRN replied to chibiRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In my original draft I had more info about what skills I did and procedures I observed (and about my work as a server). It seems the general opinion on AN is that hiring managers know what students do...

  9. What to expect at your first clinical at a senior assisted living facility

    chibiRN replied to Ireland1122's topic in General Students

    chibiRN replied to YourHero's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school used ATI to prepare us for NCLEX and I found them to be quite helpful. I especially liked the "comp predictor" we took in our last semester. It gives you a predicted probability of passing...

  12. New Grad RN to pursue BSN...how do I indicate on resume?

    chibiRN replied to chibiRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
