I just finished my first semester of nursing school and did my clinical rotation at Methodist Merrillville. I was very disappointed! There were 10 of us students and 4 nurses and 2 CNA's for 24 patients. As a class we took on the care of 10 pts which left 14 patients for the 3 CNA's. They were very uncooperative and not at all helpful. The nurse's were not welcoming either and did not want to let us pass any medications so basically our whole clinical rotation we just did baths and changed linens! I hope you have a better exp.!

Well I was going to ask you if they were hiring at methodist, and would you let me know what you found out? But after reading the post responding to your question Im wondering if you are still interested in working there? Anyway I am a new grad nurse looking to relocate to that area and would love your advice on where to apply and the best way that you've found to land an interview, thanks in advance for all who respond. All opinions welcomed. :typing
