2. What's night shift like in pediatrics?

   cel589 replied to sergel02's topic in Pediatric

   I agree that it definitely varies by floor/setting. My floor is primarily babies / young children usually under 2. So having a 4 patient assignment with babies is pretty similar to day shift in that they still have to wake every 3 hours to feed, chan...

   Hello! I'm going into my 4th and final year of nursing school and have a quick question about ER nursing. I know it's what I want to do. I've spent weeks outside of my clinical's shadowing in different ER's and love every minute of it. However, the h...

8. Should I work as a CNA this summer?

   cel589 replied to ramseyer's topic in Texas

   YES! Work as a CNA! It's the best experience to set you up for being an RN. I was a CNA summer between sophomore and junior year. I learned much more working as a CNA I think than I did in clinical. Try and get a job as a CNA in a hospital. That will...

    I hope we find out soon too!! Do you know anyone else who interviewed there? I'm from the area but I don't go to school here so I'm nervous that not having any clinical's at CHOP is a big disadvantage for me. I guess I just have to hope for the best!...

    Hi! I haven't heard anything yet since the interview! I'm still waiting for the reference step to be emailed to complete that. I interviewed on the 4west seashore house. What about you?! Waiting over a month to find out is so hard!
