  3. I really screwed up on an interview

    DoubleblessedRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Recently I interviewed for a position I really wanted. Interviewing has always been an extreme weakness of mine. I choked and gave a lot answers I didn't feel confident with. Needless to say, I...

    DoubleblessedRN posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    Do any agencies hire newly licensed RN's? I got my license about 6 weeks ago, I interviewed at one hospital, it sounded promising at first but I'm not so sure now. I DO know that that position...

  6. What is your favorite scrub brand and why?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Patrick Brooks's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I absolutely love Landau. They are soft and never have that stiff, itchy feeling when they're brand new. I like the top style no. 8219 because of the double pockets, and I like the pant style 8555...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to EricJRN's topic in Excelsior College

    I graduated in September 2008 and was a Paramedic for 12 years. I currently work in a cardiac stepdown unit. Many of the other nurses are shocked when I am asked where I graduated from, in disbelief...

  10. Cardiac Stepdown?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to LovePurple's topic in First Year After Licensure

  11. transitioning for EMS

    DoubleblessedRN replied to trauma_queen2010's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take TJ's and Erica's advice...DO NOT tell your instructors that you are an EMT/Paramedic. They will either give you a lot of crap or hold you to a higher standard. In their eyes your experience...

  12. Beaumont Hospital

    DoubleblessedRN replied to XxWINSTONxX's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am sorry this happened to you. An acquaintance worked there for a very short time and hated it there. She didn't get into a lot of specifics but said that it's a very good hospital for patients...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to TraumaInTheSlot's topic in Emergency

    DoubleblessedRN replied to MereSanity's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If I take into account EVERYTHING, I would say close to $12000, partly because I took the CPNE three times. I had most of the non-nursing requirements, except for EC's Information Literacy, which was...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to PLM311's topic in General Nursing

    It's ok and normal to have your heart set on something, but also be open to other areas. You might find that you like something else better once you try it. It happened to a couple of friends of...

  18. Cannot get into RN school cuz I went to Special Ed

    DoubleblessedRN replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    So the issue is that you don't have a chemistry credit? Your HS science class entailed chemistry but it doesn't state so? Am I understanding this correctly? Or are they holding the special ed...
