I have kids and their school cancels classes during snowstorms. What will be the implications if I reschedule the interview? Or should I not reschedule? (In a previous interview at a hospital, I went ahead. Now, with a nursing home, I cancelled.)...

Thanks for all your suggestions! I did call the HR and asked whether it would be okay to resched the interview for the next day. The forecast was really bad (all day snowstorm). I could have gone to the interview but getting back home would reall...

Hi all, I am a new RN and I applied for 2 positions at a local hospital - one in Birthing Center and another in Med/Surg. The listed requirements were the same for both, and I love OB-Gyn. I only applied for M/S because I was not sure if entry-leve...

Annointed and Jolie, Thanks a bunch! I will keep it in mind to not emphasize the CNM. I do love all those aspects that you mentioned, Jolie, and I really am interested in sharpening my assessment and clinical skills, because I really want to be able...

Hello everyone, I badly need your advice. Here is the scenario: I applied online for M/S day shift - was told in email it was offered to another candidate. I browsed on their website other possible fit for a new RN like me without prior work experi...

Wow, thanks a lot for that great tip, KatRN,BSN! I have always thought that the HR wanted every applicant to have a clear direction for career advancement, but I have known all along that I want to be a part of a company's growth (as long as that co...

I am a permanent resident already when I took the NCLEX. Now that I am licensed, I am quite nervous because I never really had any experiences working as a nurse. I am not even sure how I should prepare my resume when I had minimum to say about nur...

hi pinoynp, you know, sometimes i feel like pm'ng you, :) but thought that maybe it is better to share here for everyone to see how my jobhunting experience is going. so here goes my story for everyone who might be interested to read... within 24 hou...

Hello all, I had my first interview with the HR last Friday (despite a snowstorm -- she said she appreciated my not cancelling. I thought it would not make a good impression if I canceled because of a bad weather. Appearing on time despite the bad ...

That is exactly the reason why I posted above about this link: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/pdf/ti-alien.pdf If you read that, it will give you exactly what the medical exam is all about, as instructed by the CDC to the panel physicians (MDs conducti...

pinoyNP, Thank you so very much for the very useful tips (and the encouragement)! You have answered more than what I have posted. A friend of mine told me about looking for a day shift, because during that time, I would have more learning opportunit...

Hello lawrence, pinoyNP, and suzanne, First off, thank you for all the tips/insights that I have found very reassuring and informative (for someone like me who has absolutely no clue on how to start in this new career). Okay, I left my resume at the ...

PinoyNP, Thanks a lot for your reassuring words. I badly needed that. Sorry I was kinda late in replying...maybe I posted my last reply at the same time you posted yours... I am seeing more jobs for home health care or long-term care...but I applied...

Lawence01, Thank you very much for the info, links and the encouragement! I am on my way now to the nearest hospital to submit my resume! :)

I just recently passed the NCLEX and still am waiting for my certificate. I have been working as a home-based MT (still am doing it part-time) and I admit that I find it daunting to make the first step in working as an RN once I have my certificate ...

Many thanks for your advice, acadia (and the congratulations)! I know of one hospital nearby, and I hope they have good programs for newbie RNs like me. I will inquire as soon as I have my temp license at least.

Oh...so that's what it really meant! Thank you very much! :)

Hi Suzanne, Here are the questions: 3. I am in good standing with respect to or in full compliance with a plan to pay any and all taxes due to the state of Vermont. 4. I am in good standing with respect to or in full compliance with a plan to pay...

Suzanne, I have a follow up question. In the application form, there is the part about Taxes, answerable by Yes or No, pertaining to the State of Vermont. Should I just put N/A even if that is not among the choices, and just emphasize that I live in...

Thank you very much, Suzzane. I will now start my inquiries with the Vermont BON. :)

Thank you for the leading question :) . I checked the Maine BON about endorsement, and it says there: "As of January 1, 2003, Maine is no longer a "walk-through" state for endorsements." What exactly does that mean? Anyway, the...

Hi Suzanne, Thanks for the quick reply. I plan to work in Maine where I live. I have contacted the BON before. They require CGFNS and license from the country of origin for foreign nurses. I contacted the BON, explaining my situation, as I did not fe...

Hi to Suzanne. First I would like to thank you for the valuable input you have provided in this thread. I learned a lot. I presently live in in a rural area in the USA, on a permanent residence status, with SSN. I was an MD (a GP for 5 years) in ...
