    happynurse14 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    happynurse14 replied to kejRN88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    happynurse14 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

  7. please critic my cover letter

    happynurse14 replied to brittney1890's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The word "I" is way overused. I honestly couldn't even read the whole thing because all I could notice was how many "I"s were in the entire letter. Believe it or not, a cover letter is a lot more...

  8. ATI Tests

    happynurse14 replied to CSIPAIGE's topic in General Students

  12. To those without a 4.0 (rant)

    happynurse14 replied to Jasonat6034's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are right in that depending on what school you attend, a 4.0 gpa is not the only means to get accepted. However, you cannot apply that notion to every school. My school ONLY looked at gpa. No...

    happynurse14 replied to AndyRN2013's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    happynurse14 replied to theeemmakate34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say go with spanish... because even the fact that you are doubting nursing school whatsoever (especially to learn a foreign language) is a red flag!! You have to KNOW you want to be a nurse. Good...

  20. Quick Results in 48 Hours?

    happynurse14 replied to xObabytiggerr's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
