I am a pre-clinicals nursing student at the University of Louisiana Lafayette. I've been checking out the job opportunities in town and I keep seeing things like 3T, 5T, 6T. What does this mean?
Thanks

Just a guess, could this possibly be the floors of the hospital in which the open position is located? A few times I have had to call HR to find out what exactly that floor specializes in (Ortho, Telemetry, etc) when it stated something similar to what you posted. You might also try to look up the different floors on the hospital website, such as in the 'hospital map' section to figure out what specific floor they are referring too, IF indeed that's what 3T and such, means.

Definitely sounds like floors/units of the hospital. My guess is that the hospital has a wing or building whose name starts with a T, so every floor in that wing is 1T, 2T, 3T, etc.
