Collin College nursing students looking for work? 4th semester student here w/ opportuni

4 Posts

My name is Lindsey Davidson. I am a 4th semester nursing student and I am set to graduate in 2 weeks (you can do it!! )

The good news is I start my RN job in August. The bad news...I have to resign from my job as a home health attendant for an absolutely wonderful family.

If you are planning on working in peds or psychiatrics, this is a great opportunity.

Here is a quick summary: the schedule is extremely flexible and pays very very well ($17-$20 and hour). The family worked with me with my school schedule, gave me time off to study and go to clinical etc. I go on vacations with them, I celebrate holidays with them (not mandatory...they are just like my second family and I love them so so much), I have literally become family to them. This is the perfect opportunity if you are worried about money and having time to work and go to school. I have worked with this family for three years, and all through nursing school.

A little bit more information. I care for their son who is 13 and who is adopted. He is a loving, fun, energetic, and hilarious boy. But he struggles so much.

He has been diagnosed with many disorders...including autism, pervasive developmental disorder, dyslexia, adhd, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder. Due to his vague family history and non-compliant birth parents...little is known about why he suffers with these issues and what causes them. He is developmentally delayed and mentally delayed...he does not act like a typical 13 year old. HOWEVER...do not let his diagnoses scare you off. He is well-medicated with his symptoms under control...he is not violent AT ALL...he is just a very scared little boy with a very scary brain.

You get to utilize your nursing skills a lot with this job, and every day is completely different than the next. But if you are looking for a part-time job (15-20 hrs a week max...more hours available during school breaks and summer), with great pay, and an unforgettable experience... please contact me!
