How did you get your hospital job???

[stigrl]

I have been applying like crazy and so far NOTHING!!!! It doesn't help that each hospital has an online only application system... no one to check with or call. The one time I tried to call HR anyways, the lady was irritated and said if they want to interview me I will get a call.

I have been working extremely part time (8 hours a week) at a group home for 5 months, and that is my only experience as a CNA. Is this enough to get my foot in the door somewhere? Right now I have a full time office job and I make a really nice salary. If I take a huge pay cut, I feel like I would want it to be for something I really wanted... like to be a PCT at a hospital and get me more prepared for a nursing program.

Any suggestions or is this just something I will have to be patient for?

Interview went as well as it could. The HR manager said I will have to call back once I am done with my first semester of nursing (in December) but she gave me her direct number though and said she would love to hire me when the time comes. She said she liked that I volunteer at the hospital already and that volunteering is a big plus in her book. Can't wait until December!

That is awesome!! Like you, I too volunteered at the hospital that I am currently employed at ?
