Hackensack Hospital Externship Program

I'm currently doing my summer externship at Hackensack Hospital but very disappointed by them:down:. I was offered a full time position when i interviewed with the condition that i work every other weekend and attend a class every Tuesday but when we got to the orintation things had changed. We were informed that now we were only being offered every other weekend position because of budget cuts and could get more hours depending on your unit. Hackensack is a great place don't get me wrong but i'm very upset:o that they deceived us plus my unit offered me only Every Other Weekend(EOW). Working EOW will not give me a learning experience i expected because the nurses get so busy on my unit that you end up doing CNA duties and now i regret turning other hospitals down for Hackensack. Just wanted to vent out and advice those of you planning to apply for next summer to have a back up plan or esle you will be disappointed if wanna learn and looking to make money through full time employment.Thanks

I really feel bad for you and the other externs this year. I did mine last year, wokred full tiem, and absolutley loved it! I know you must not be getting the same experience wokring just EOW. I know HUMC is having some budget issues now. I would suggest sticking in there and apply at human resources for a NA position for the school year if your unit cannot keep you as a SNE. I think any experience will only help you in the end even though it may not be what you were hoping for. HUMC loves to hire their externs so thats the upside. It will look great on your resume no matter what! Good Luck and take advantage of every opportunity you can. Talk to Nursing Ed and see if they can help your situation at all!
