Risa Ruiz

Good Evening, This is a request for examples of documentation and advice for onboarding as a Nurse III at the VA. Specifically, I am looking for examples for the dimensions of nursing practice (practice, professional development, collaboration, scientific inquiry), and the associated criteria (practice, ethics, resource utilization, education/career development, performance, collaboration, collegiality, quality of care, and research). I Thank You All So Much in advance for your information

You're welcome!

Dear hopeless romantic, You're SO sweet!! I'm sorry you didn't get the job at the clinic. I surely hope that something comes along for you VERY soon, any hospital system would be lucky to have you on staff!!

Dear hopeless romantic, YOU ARE FANTASTIC!! Thank You SO MUCH!!! Some of those questions were asked during my phone interview, and the one that was most challenging was 'tell me about a time went you went above and beyond." I TRULY appreciate the list of questions you gave, I will DEFINITELY review them and prepare answers in the event I am asked any of them. WOW, you have a GREAT memory for questions that you were asked!! VERY impressive!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this site, I always find supportive members that are willing to assist with my queries. As we all know that have been through the journey to become nurses, we share a common bond of helping each other, even people we may never meet in person. I SURELY HOPE that you were offered a job at the Clinic, as you are someone who enjoys helping people, even when they are a user in 'cyberspace' that you may not ever know. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Hello members, I have a face-to-face interview at the Cleveland Clinic. Would anyone who has had an in-person interview there be so kind as to give me some examples of interview questions that they were asked? I Thank You so much in advance.

Hello allnurses.com members, I have a face-to-face interview coming up with a nursing manager at the Cleveland Clinic. Would anyone that has had an in-person interview there please give me some examples of interview questions that they have been asked? I Thank You in advance for your information.

Thank You MissM.RN for the well-wishes, you're VERY sweet!

Hello MissM,RN! Thank You SO MUCH for your critique. Yes, I did attend a hospital school of nursing which closed after my 1st semester, then transferred to the associate's degree program. As per your suggestion, I did remove the word 'termination'-THANK YOU FOR THAT SUGGESTION and advice-that's AWESOME!! Also, you nailed it when you suggested I put my home care experience first-I was TRULY looking for suggestions into ways to highlight my life experience-I have DECADES of it, which is why I chose nursing, and was looking for a way to make this stand out, I know I'm WELL qualified for a new grad position, I just need a boost to get an interview!! I'm VERY comfortable once I get to that point , and feel that the biggest step is contact for the initial interview. THANK YOU AGAIN!!

Hello Joanna73, Thank You for your critique. Regarding the use of tense, I use the past tense to indicate things I did in the past, and present tense for things I'm doing currently. How do you suggest I clarify this in the resume without changing tense? Also, due to the fact that I cut and pasted the document, the original format is very different from the way it appears.

Hello Guttercat, Thank You for your response. You are correct in your assumption, the program was terminated in the middle of my 1st semester. Do you have any suggestions for ways to clarify this in the body of the resume? Regarding my use of tense, I used the past tense to indicate things that I've done in the past, and present tense to indicate things that I am currently doing. In terms of my 'related experience,' can you suggest a way to incorporate my past experience into my present experience more seamlessly? I Thank You in advance for your suggestions.

Hello Heathermaizey, Thank You for your critique. Regarding the formatting, I copied and pasted from a Word document, which altered the formatting immensely, perhaps this is the reason it is hard to follow. Would you please elaborate on the parts that you do not understand? Also, I am not following what you mean by 'relevant nursing stuff.' I have no professional nursing experience, I have the education, and life experience. Do you have any suggestions for incorporating my life experience more effectively into the resume? I Thank You in advance for your suggestions.

Hello forum members! I am a new grad RN, and would like to ask if anyone would be so kind as to provide critiques on my resume. Please forgive the repeat posting, the previous post format came out pretty funky! I'd certainly appreciate any suggestions anyone would provide. I Thank You SO much in advance for your suggestions!
