Fr what it's worth: Every bit of knowledge you gain makes you better able to advocate for your patient. Do what you're doing and believe what you tell yourself over the noise you will hear from others...
Libby1987, BSN, RN: I am an RN, BSN too (I place BSN 2nd because I find the "RN" the important part in any nurse). I am a "baby nurse." I made it 4 days on the floor into orientation before my doctors...
Thank you for answering the question about your interest, but this really doesn't tell us your interest and allow us to gauge our responses accordingly. There's no personal gain for you in having this...

Hi, I did my AAS (Associate/2-year degree) while working full time, with 3 kids and going through a divorce. We were told not to work, but I was forced to tell them if I didn't work, I couldn't...
I've always found it to my advantage not to try "outsmarting" interviewers. If they've read your resume, they know your background/ experience. i simply ask, "Can you tell me what to expect next in...
