PCT positions in Tampa Area

Published

Hi, I recently just got my CNA license and I'm in the process of applying for jobs in the Tampa Bay area. I would like to work in a hospital if it is possible, but what are my chances if I do not have any experience working in one?

I live in the Tampa Bay area and recently got a job at a hospital. I have 6 years of experience, so I'm sure that helped me, but I have met newly licensed CNA's working at hospitals. My best advise would be to apply, APPLY, APPLY. Beef up your cover letter, have someone else read it and take out time to apply for several positions. Don't be picky about units. Once you get into a hospital you usually can transfer out in 6 months time. Doing those online applications are so tedious and exhausting, but that's how I got in. Don't stop and don't let one word on a post stop you from applying! Good luck!

My unit at Tampa General has hired people with no experience. I have been a CNA for three years but no hospital experience and they hired me. Check out their job listings for anything on 5A (cardiac observation/telemetry). I work an 5A2 and it is pretty awesome.

I heard earlier this week that they hire without experience so I just applied a few days back. Cross fingers that I at least hear from them!

Just checked and cardiac observation was one of the units I applied for. Thanks!
