Pediatrics- school age/ortho/trauma: what to expect?

Specialties Pediatric

Published

I just got called to interview for a CNA position at my local children's hospital (hooray!) for the "pediatrics - school age/ortho/trauma" unit. This hospital would be my dream hospital when I finish nursing school so this is a huge opportunity for me. I want to be prepared for my interview and am curious about what types of patients would be on this unit? THANKS!

I don't think he's said in huddle the last few days that they've hired so maybe they're still working on it. Have you heard anything more yet?

I heard from him a couple of days ago and he said they're still making decisions and contacting references. There are 3 positions open (I requested the PRN one) so I'm sure there's plenty of paperwork involved. I'll keep applying and interviewing within the system, just in case!

As long as my references check out (and there's no reason they won't), I'll have the job! I'll be PRN nights.:up:

NenjaRN and PedsRN,

Looking forward to meeting you both in person, hopefully soon! Scrubs question..... At my previous facility, CNAs were only allowed 1 color (turquoise tops and bottoms) and 1 particular print for tops (thank goodness it was cute!) (male CNAs wore all navy), all nurses were only allowed purple and/or white (no prints) (again, male nurses were navy only). What is the scrubs policy here? Thanks!

Specializes in Acute Care Pediatrics.

Whoo hoo! Congrats! Lord knows we need help on nights! :) I am not sure about the CNA scrub policy honestly.... I know they have to wear the light blue (I call it surgery blue) pants, but not sure about the tops...... Wow, I am super unobservant. HA!

I'm sure you have more urgent things to be observing. LOL No worries! I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. I know they're still in the process of getting in touch with my references because one just called me to verify some things before she called HR back. I leave for Maui in a few days and am hoping I get a firm offer before I leave!

I worked my first orientation shift yesterday (7a-7p) and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it! I remember my first shift at the LTC facility I worked at earlier this year--I came home crying because I knew I was not going to like it. When it was time to clock out yesterday, I didn't want to leave! Everyone on staff was so sweet and helpful--and happy to have a new NA on the floor. I was able to see and do so many things and already feel competent doing many of the tasks assigned to me. I work again Friday and I can't wait!

Does anyone know if Levine hires associate nurses or only bachelors?
