  2. Chamberlain college of nursing

    Meeshie replied to Jfighty's topic in Chamberlain College

  5. Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    Meeshie replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    The thing is.... the nurses on this board are under no obligation to guide you. None. You're not paying them. They haven't signed an agreement with you. Your assumption that people will do so comes...

    Meeshie replied to AlmostANurse321's topic in General Students

  16. Navy wife: suggestions on nursing school in Hawaii

    Meeshie replied to Gstarlantz's topic in General Nursing

    Remember that timing is going to matter here. Generally speaking, nursing classes don't transfer. That means that where ever you start is where you need to graduate from. So if there's a possibility...

    Meeshie replied to Star_Couch's topic in Government, Military

    Meeshie replied to RNJR1115's topic in General Nursing

    Could you speak to your school about setting up some mock interviews, by the way? Mine offered that if asked. If you feel that you are not presenting yourself effectively it might be helpful to get...

  21. Help! Landing Interviews, But Not Jobs

    Meeshie replied to RNJR1115's topic in General Nursing

    The above advice is excellent. I'll add in this - patience. New graduate nursing jobs are extremely competitive. It might take a half dozen interviews before you land a job. It took me a few...
