which would you guys rather do?

do you know anything about the tele dept. at mayo? do people like it there?

what about banner system, do you think days would be ridiculously busy?

i'm kinda torn between the two.

thanks guys.:uhoh21:

I haven't worked at Mayo but have been there many times as a patient in the past. Could you stand to wear white every day? I can't. The patients at Mayo are kind of spoiled and that might burn you out. On the positive side, Mayo has great benefits and a retirement system set up. There are few places that still offer REAL retirement benefits.

I have done clinics at Banner T-bird in tele, both in the neuro and the cardiac.My father and husband have been hospitalized in both places too. The positive at Banner is they have good pt/nurse ratios in tele. 1:4

Good luck, let us know which one you decide on!

hi!

well, i got offers from both. i worked 5 months during the day (a few of those months on a busy telemetry floor). i decided to take the job at mayo. i know the white scrubs are going to be very annoying to keep clean but to me it'll be worth it--being that my fiance works in their ICU and will be on nights too. i'm a night owl so i think it will be a good fit. also, they're starting me in their new grad program so in theory i'll get lots of orientation....

wish me luck!

;)

Congrats! I am sure you will get a good orientation at Mayo. I wouldn't mind working there except for that white ;)

Hey, yeah, congrats on the new job. I was wondering what you had decided. Good Luck and I hope this is the one for you. I was reading your other post in the "first year" forum and all I can say is "DITTO". :uhoh3: Keep us updated!

BTW- you look good in white. I remember your grad pics. My hubby was like "she's hot". ;)

that's funny! i just ordered 3 sets of sandwashed white dickies and a new pair of white danskos! now i have an excuse for my fiance to do the laundry--between the two of us, that's a lot of bleach!

anyway, the pay is super good (6 buck night dif $24-$26 an hour!!!)

so, i'm going shopping now at old navy to celebrate! (they have a clearance sale going on right now--cute tanks for $3.97!!!!)

thank you guys for all the good wishes and advice!

(i'll let you know how it goes--once i become "mayo-nized") hahaha:lol2:
