I don't see a thread for 2015 yet, so I thought I'd start one. I'm just beginning the application process, and the clinical narrative is killing me. I precepted in trauma at a trauma center, so it was get them in, get them out: usually to a rehab. I can't think of how I might have changed their lives or had a big impact. I was able to attain great skills and do frequent assessments: neuro, neurovascular, cardio, telemetry strips, etc. and do and see some great stuff, I wish I could write about that!
I'd like to hear from anyone applying now or who applied in the past. Any pointers?
The resume is resume. Doesn't matter which job you are applying. Your education same and work experience same as well. Only thing u may need to edit cover letter.
I have been working with my university's career services because I wanted to get out in front of this job search. it was suggested that I write personalized cover letters and resumes for each hospital and each position that I apply to, incorporating key words from the job description. I just figured I'd share what I found because I was surprised by that!
I have personalized all the cover letters. If they're magnet, I write how I want to be in magnet. If the job is med-surg/trauma/cardiac/whatever, I write how I am qualified for that track. I always write the job # up top. Always put the address of the hospital. I still get precious few positive responses.
Hi everyone, I was glad to see a thread on this. I also applied for the residency. I already work for the med center so I know what a great place it is to work. Keeping my fingers crossed...
