It's the experience that counts.Thats what I'm prob going to do with Maryvale since it DOES have a reputation for being the worse place in terms of seeing the "bad" side of ER. I feel that it will almost make a Macguyver out of a Nurse! LOL! Kinda thinking that if you can survive there, there shouldn't be too much that could be thrown at you and not freak out afterwards...know what I mean???
As for the ICU's, well thats a complete different ball game. Usually if you are working already in the hospital, those individuals are given preference over someone from the outside. The ones that have an even greater chance of getting in right out of school are students that are externing in those units. It would have been nice to have that but sometimes it's just not possible. Much luck getting into an ICU, it's not impossible, you just have to have a little luck and some nice backing to get in.
The New grad pay is something that varies completely from facility. I'm sorry i'm not able to help in that aspect, but I'm sure that once you do finish you will have more information regarding that.
Hey there ! I was wondering if you are going to take the position in the ED at Maryavle, I am thinking about it and would like some of your input! I'll be relocating out of state, so don't really know why it has the bad rep it has. I'm also a medic and once I finish orientation in the ED I also want to work in the field. Recommend any 911 systems?
Would you like to comment?
