As the title states, I'm in the last few weeks of my second semester, and I'm doing my best to find a PCT job. In addition to completing these semesters of nursing school, I'm also a registered medical assistant with two years of experience in a PCP office, one year in a weight loss clinic, and coming up on one year as a "medical" receptionist at a behavioral center.
I've applied to 37 PCT jobs, most in the Fl. Hospital network. One after another just bounces back as no longer considered. I've talked to two different managers, one which said "challenge the CNA," the other who did as well until she realized I was an RMA and a second semester student. I've heard it's downright impossible to get in without knowing someone...I'm trying to work that angle too, but I'd love to get in on merit alone, yknow?
Does anyone have any tips or tricks for how to either get your resume noticed to at least land an interview, or perhaps draw notice to the fact that I would love to make Fl Hospital my lifelong career? Other then bluntly saying it I'm having difficulty working that in to a cover letter.
Classes, classes, classes! I meet with the floor supervisor on Thu, I get my schedule. I will be in classes all week. I went up to the floor to get some information and the unit supervisor saw me and asked me if I was already in nursing school, I told her not yet and she said that we will work on that. That was such a huge pick me upper, since the hospital I'm at has an exclusive nursing program, I may be able to get in quicker. I'm just going to keep working and studying hard, I've only heard great things about my floor and everything I will be doing and learning....the benefits we get are beyond great....this has all been a dream
