    Post Interview Wait

    mindofmidwifery replied to Deneshia94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, I would definitely call on Tuesday if you haven't heard anything. I would also send out a thank you note. I sent one out to both of the managers that interviewed me within a day after my...

    Post Interview Wait

    mindofmidwifery replied to Deneshia94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    During one of my interviews the manager said "I'll offer you a job regardless" when I said I can only work part time (it was a full time position) and after the interview I asked when I'll hear back...

    mindofmidwifery replied to journey2success's topic in General Nursing

    How was your first code blue? What role did you have?

    mindofmidwifery replied to journey2success's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the ER so no code blues but it was maybe my second day (as a tech, I'm not a nurse) and we had a heroin overdose come in where I got to do chest compressions. My adrenaline was rushing like...

    mindofmidwifery replied to peterlecompte's topic in General Nursing

    I came in to get a patient's temperature. I asked him to open his mouth please so it could go under his tongue and he said, with the straightest face "I only get rectal temperatures" I looked at him...

    Does anyone know Spanish?

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Students

    I was looking at what my college offered and if I get to level 5, it becomes conversational. Do you think it'd be worth it to go through the 4 levels before getting to

    Better to be an LPN than not a nurse at all?

    mindofmidwifery replied to livimo's topic in General Students
