patient transport vs. patient companion ?

[meghan91]

hi guys...i recently got a job as a patient transporter i was really excited that i finally got into the hospital and i start may 31st ill work M-F 4-8 but i also have applied for other jobs. Today i just got a call for an interview for a patient companion job which is a flex hours and for this hospital its basically like a NA job ut more one on one with the patient and keeping them busy/monitoring them. I am taking a micro bio class in the summer and i will be starting nursing school in the fall. My questions are:

What would you do take both jobs?

Which job do you think would be better for me?

Should I still call them back and tell them im not able to have an interview because I did accept a different job prior to this one?

you will learn from both so decide based on hours, pay etc

You should be able to do both. If the PC is prn and you only have to do so many hours a month that is great because you can adjust your schedule around class and test. I usually study when I pick up as a PC. Good luck in school.

i called them back and the hours are rotation of all shifts, id like the job but i really dont think ill be able to do it. i have an interview tomorrow but im tempted to cancle it because i feel like im wasting their time. what do you think?
