    I do have my BSN. Started out as ADN, then went back to school a few years ago. I think the fact that you are actively working towards BSN will weigh heavily in your favor against another ADN who is not. Focus on what you have to offer and your goals...

    I would call the hiring manager, or whomever interviewed you. Ask what they feel you could do to improve your interview performance and if they would consider you if you reapply. You may get constructive help. Worst they can say is no. Good luck and ...

  7. Fluids in Moderate Sedation

    I have only worked in civilian clinics/ hospitals. Experienced in sedation/ GI and infusion. Have always hung fluids. Fluids not only assist in delivering the meds, but reduce vein irritation. They also relieve possible dehydration, can help maintai...
  8. VA Hiring Process

  9. Try looking on USAJobs. Mostly VA jobs. The process can be lengthy, but, great opportunities. They have had a quite a few jobs in the bay area lately. You should also call a VA recruiter, if interested.
  10. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    The goal of education is learning! How do you expect to learn if you refuse to challenge yourself?
  11. Mandatory flu shots????

    I understand both sides of the vaccine issue. I received the flu vaccine yearly until I had a severe allergic reaction to it a few years ago. Now I get tired of being treated like I'm a bad nurse because I don't get the vaccine. I also don't feel li...

    I got the call from HR. I just have to complete the forms they sent and go for the physical and fingerprinting. They said it should take about 6-8 weeks to complete everything. :)

    I got a call today with a tenative job offer. Tenative until vetpro screening and physical are done. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes quickly and smoothly.

    I have applied to several different locations. I am planning to relocate so that allows me to broaden my search. The uncertainty is miserable. I talked to a recruiter when I started applying and she told me to just be persistent. So that is what I'm ...

    I have had two interviews this week both said they were planning to make a decision within about a week. They also said I will be notified even if I am not selected. I am finding the whole process frustrating. In the past I have always interviewed ve...
  17. I admire your enthusiasm. It seems like you have a wide variety of interests, that's a good thing. One of the great things about nursing is the ability to change paths. You can start out in Med-surg, then move on to ER or Peds, or Ortho. The list go...
  18. You sound like someone who understands this process. Are you familiar with the NOR rating? I recieved an email with a rating of 94. I'm not sure what this means.
  19. I am in the midst of the same process and have also recieved the same emails. From what I have been told the times can vary greatly. The whole VA hiring process seems to be a, hurry up and wait, system. I am trying to be patient, and I am not a pat...

    I am in the process of trying to get hired by the VA. I have had one phone interview, not sure how it went. It wasn't what I expected. I also have gotten a couple emails related to other positions I applied for. They say "Eligible- referred to selec...
