  1. Interview attire.

    Missie Hannie replied to Brooklynn89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My outfit choices really depended on my mood for the day; several times I wore a nice business-y dress and jacket, while on my last interview (the one where I finally got hired) I chose to wear...

  2. NICU new grad question

    Missie Hannie replied to KJCnango's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    There are a few hospitals who will hire new grads with only an associates degree for residencies, but generally having a BSN is preferred; if it came down to a choice between an ADN and a BSN, they...

    Missie Hannie replied to KJCnango's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I can't speak for everyone else, but I got hired in a NICU residency as my first job after graduation, as did many in my residency cohort. Many nurses told me that I would most likely have to "do my...

    Missie Hannie replied to danicaone_101's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just replied to your other post before seeing this one - I had a feeling that you were going to be working for MultiCare. I am currently in a MultiCare residency (though not at Good Sam), and it's...

  5. Past and current RN Residents - Got any advice for a freshly NEW RN resident

    Missie Hannie replied to danicaone_101's topic in Nursing Career

    Graduated June 2015. Took the NCLEX in July 2015. Job offer in March 2016. Started job in May 2016. All totaled, 9 months and two days between graduation and job offer. Not for lack of trying,...

  7. I was just accepted into my program

    Missie Hannie replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    Good for you, getting everything in order before diving into nursing school... although any sanity you save up before starting will quickly fly out the window once you start! The nice thing about...

  8. Worst/Best thing a nursing instructor ever said to you?

    Missie Hannie replied to CryandNurseOn's topic in General Nursing

    When I started my preceptorship / senior practicum (whichever you prefer to call it) my preceptor and I had a discussion about me being nervous about working as a nurse. At the end of our very...

  10. Is nursing a good career?

    Missie Hannie replied to htharpe_24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One nice thing about nursing school is that most programs have a variety of clinical sites, which gives the students not only lots of practice, but also exposure to different nursing specialties. If...

  12. Is nursing a good career?

    Missie Hannie replied to htharpe_24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a particular area of nursing that fascinates you? In my experience, nursing homes always seem to be hiring, while other specialties in hospitals may be a bit more of a challenge to get. The...

    Missie Hannie replied to RachealAnne's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    MultiCare Health System (in Washington state) has a new grad residency program, with a new cohort beginning several times a year (last time I checked). Multiple hospitals in western Washington and a...
