Employers are so hard up for nurses, nurses are going to be JUST FINE without a portfolio. Employers will really just need a resume and some references. The only time nurse portfolios really matter is if you want to land a very specif/limited-opportunity job.
this is so helpful!! when i was a nursing student, i could not differentiate or process this type of info from the flames of all things burning toward nclex - i was so overwhelmed just to finish school and pass boards...now that I have some space to think, breathe, sleep, and shower in peace, without the pressure since passing, i have been appeciating your nursing content on a new level:)) this portfolio 411 is so helpful!!! thank you, Nurse Blake, you are a natural born highlight to the shadows of this whirled:))
Blake, I’m starting a class to receive my CNA certification next month. I was so nervous until I found your videos and they’re helping me so much! Thank you for everything you do!!
I recently graduated nursing school and looking for jobs so I'm binge watching Nurse Blake lol. I was so happy to see a recent comment on this video since it's years old but I wish you the best of luck starting your CNA journey, you guys rock and wouldn't know what to do without y'all!
Thank you so much for taking your personal time to make these videos. I have watched almost all your videos, and they are very informative and helpful. I am a year away from graduating my nursing school. Class of 2019!! Thanks again!
And places are hiring me calling my off the phone organizations LOVE portfolio's ty so much for helping jump start my nursing career you helped so much xoxoxo
Kristine if it’s because you’ve had kids, I call that life experience and it totally can be a huge asset to what kinds of benefits you want to bring to the table!
@@Me-ru6cl there's a number of things that could give you life experience that would be useful in work. So, in that case, I would make a cover letter outlining the experiences most helpful, and then my resume would hold all the usual stuff and my last job.
Hi Nurse Blake! New to your channel, great tips! but question: I always thought it was inappropriate to ask your profs for a copy of the LOC you ask them to write even if it's just for yourself??
Hi Blake! Could you by any chance discuss if grades matter in looking for a job? as in will the employer ask for your transcripts, how much do grades really matter, etc? I just did my first written assignment in nursing school and I thought I'd at least get a high credit, and I got barely a pass - a grand total of 58.9/100... oh to my terror. its so discouraging and since I know nursing employment can be really competitive especially to new grads.. can you provide some advice or discuss about this topic, please? thank you.
Nurse Blake! Can i get recommendations from a manager from a non nursing position like a medical coding manager? I have a CPC-A from coding but i am in school to become a nurse so i wonder if a letter of rec would be relevant to a nursing position. i love the idea of having a portfolio and thank you for the idea! Would this be a good idea for LPNs as well? Thank you Nurse Blake, your fantastic!
I'm a CNA but currently working at a hospital as a pca but I was wondering should I make a portfolio for my history job experience in nursing Assistant?
I'm at a job where I'm gaining experience to work in the area I want. It would be kind awkward asking my manager right now for a letter of rec. Would asking a coworker be a better alternative?
Thank you for your wonderful and helpful videos!! I'm currently going into my second year of nursing school and your advice/tips definitely is a great guidance.
Damn. I knew the glitter in my portfolio was a little extra. 😂
NurseDrizzles hahaha ❤️unicorn nurse
You and Elle Woods. 🤣🤣🤣

Be sure to spray your CV with Channel # 5 before mailing!!!
Can you please address psych nursing? Most nurses hate this area of nursing...but this is my passion!

Nurse Blake, what certifications do you have? :)
Hi Nurse Blake. If we have a three panel interview, should we provide all three with portfolio or just the hiring manager? Thank you
Always have one for each member of any panel
Should I include my vaccinations on the portfolio?
Thank you for your wonderful and helpful videos!! I'm currently going into my second year of nursing school and your advice/tips definitely is a great guidance.
You're welcome!!! It's never to early to start making your portfolio.
