Hello everyone. I am just finishing up my first year at WCCCD nursing program. I interviewed for 2 jobs, one at children's hospital as a student nurse associate and one at Wyandotte as a nurse extern. I got offered both jobs (after freaking out and having to wait a month to find out)
I ended up taking the job at Children's. I think I was drawn in for some reason. Also the scheduling there seems to be more flexible (and I'm getting married this summer so I need flexibility.) Also it pays a little more.
Is it weird that I was also a little nervous to actually be an "extern", because apparently at Wyandotte, they get their own patient load and everything, which I really don't feel ready for.
So has anyone ever worked at Children's or any hospital in the DMC? Anyone have any pointers? I am a little nervous, because I have never worked in a hospital or anything, just my clinicals so far is my only experience.
I go for my pre hire physical/paperwork next week. Seems like it's going to be a lot of stuff. I have to bring so many things.
Ok...done babbling now...but I'm EXCITED!
