A
Feedback:
The nurse should be prepared to give references to potential employers and have the addresses and telephone numbers of the individuals acting as references neatly printed on a separate sheet. The nurse should also fill out the application neatly in ink because some employers use this as a criterion for evaluation. When taking timed tests, the nurse should go through the entire test as quickly as possible, answering the questions known. Then, go back and work on the other questions. Generally, it is best not to change a test answer after it is written.
