How will I ever get into telemetry?

[Lululi]

Hi everyone!!!

I am a new grad since May. I haven't been able to get any jobs- even in some old stinky assisted living facility which I had worked as a cna before.

Im flying to another state for an inteview. This is a special program for new grads. Im thinking, "this is my last shot." If nursing homes dont want me, then this is it.

Im so nervous Im sweating.

Im curious, do hospitals take new grads into telemetry? Where do I get this training? And if I complete a telemetry class, will that help me land a job in a hospital?

Basically, is telemetry a good class to take to step my foot in the hospital?

Thanks,

Lulu

you asked:

do hospitals take new grads into telemetry? yes

where do i get this training? on the job with classes

and if i complete a telemetry class, will that help me land a job in a hospital? maybe

basically, is telemetry a good class to take to step my foot in the hospital? no

it sounds like if you are interviewing for this job, you might as well wait and see if you get it before taking any classes. after being hired, you will be paid for taking these classes. much cheaper.

if you are interested in taking a class, i would recommend being current in acls and cpr. this is mandatory on a telemetry unit.

good luck,
