    Finding a job as a new nurse. Help?

    kataraang replied to MiamiR.N.'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Finding a job as a new nurse. Help?

    kataraang replied to MiamiR.N.'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nurses with self-harm scars?

    kataraang replied to art24's topic in General Nursing

    I have personal experience and can relate completely. I guess maybe try to ignore them yourself. I find that if I spend too much time looking at them myself (trying to assess how visible they are),...

    Can I get a job without a BSN?

    kataraang replied to Rb72390's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ADN new grad jobs

    kataraang replied to taylor92's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I forgot to mention that too. I put out almost 20 applications before getting a single interview. And I know people who have taken more than 20 apps to get an interview. Tough to get into as a new...

    ADN new grad jobs

    kataraang replied to taylor92's topic in General Nursing

    I have an ADN and no healthcare experience. I got a job in Telemetry in a large city hospital. It really has to do with how you sell yourself. I used my retail experience to talk about how I bring...

    Haha that made me laugh! Thanks all of you. I am definitely going business and bringing scrubs. I must sound like such a noob asking silly interview questions. Thank you all for being so understanding...

    kataraang replied to MissPatricia's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congrats on the interview :) I also have no relevant healthcare experience (I worked retail through nursing school). Think back to your clinical rotations for the scenario questions. Like, if they...

    I tried on scrubs today at a uniform shop. It is amazing how badly they are fitted! I have to hem off probably 6 inches off the bottom. They think I'm 6 feet tall? I only picked a size

    kataraang replied to fayzasabeen916's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Keep it basic--no need to try to memorize every detail of pathophysiology that you ever learned in nursing school. These are the broad topics that I felt were emphasized when I took it (and passed). I...
