I too went to the jobfair at Methodist and was offered a position in PP/NN. My orientation starts Monday. There were a lot of people there and I feel so lucky to have been offered a position. I am going into my third semester at El Centro. I am "the friend" of sweetstil. Good Luck.

Hey!! I'll also be working PP/NN and I start June 11th Group 3. I need all of the dirt since you're starting before me..LOL!!! Do you know how many externs they hired for PP/NN? I am sooooo excited!!

I saw her hire three including myself, so i am not sure if you were one of the girls i saw. When i talked with her i thought i heard her mention she only needed 2-3 people. Who knows. I was hired pretty quickly, but hung around since i carpooled. I will be happy to share anything i manage to learn while I'm there. Look forward to meeting you!

If you are talking about Charlton, there are two at NLC that I think got ER Extern positions.

that's alot of positions, maybe they do it in the Fall also, I will keep my eyes open.

Hey Fun,

where did you apply?

Any luck yet?

I've only put some in some aps for PCT positions, mostly PRN to go along with my school schedule. ....Hospitals around me. I haven't been able to call them and follow up yet.

I got my kiddos out of school for the summer today, so that helps! :)

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY.....want an Pre-OP/OR/Post-OP position!

I was one of the last ones to interview with her. In fact, her last interview was a group one and neither of them were hired. The nurse manager's name is Pam right? I was so nervous that everything is still a blur! Anyways, what made me really want to work for her is when she told me that I wouldn't be doing PCT work, and that I would be transitioning into the role of a Nurse. I was soooo happy when she said that because the Nurse manager for L&D said that they first train you has a PCT, then the unit secretary. I only interviewed for L&D as a backup plan anyways. I've paid my dues already as a PCT and I'm so ready to upgrade! When I went to the offer table, Marilyn said that PP/NN is a great place to work and that she thinks I'll be very happy there. Hope to meet you soon!!
