    LTC job and schoolwork

    NurseNightOwl replied to cazach0122's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    How can I get a job in LTC/SNF as a new nurse

    NurseNightOwl replied to DixieGrace's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    2nd Interview for Tele/Med Surg Floor!!

    NurseNightOwl replied to RNFluffeePuff's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It went really well! It ended up being a CDU position rather than straight tele, and I interviewed with the director, assistant director, and one of the charges. They said I just have to wait for HR...

    NurseNightOwl replied to lydespain's topic in Western Governors University

    I think it's what you choose to put into it, like anything else. The amount you learn depends on you. The resources and materials are certainly there to facilitate learning -- I am WAY more impressed...

    PSA Healthcare in Florida

    NurseNightOwl replied to FrancoRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to the assessment center today. We went over CPR and mickey buttons. It was pretty low-key, but the lady leading it was definitely watching to see if each applicant would be a good fit for the...
