    At what point should I be worried?

    I agree with this post. Unless you specifically discussed onboarding for the start date in two weeks, even if you’re hired I can’t imagine it happening that quickly. If it’s a larger hospital...

    While I get your frustration with the situation, I guess I don't understand what "proof" would be acceptable to you? I tend to agree with Ruby Vee on this one

    Would this shirt get me into trouble in class?

    I suppose it all comes down to what you would define as trouble. As other's have mentioned, that depends on your school and their policies - many schools may say that is not appropriate in the school...

    Am I the *******?

    Have you looked into any local agencies in the mean time? It might not be idea or as permanent/stable as full time employment in a hospital, but I would think it would look a lot better on your resume...

    How do I become stronger clinically?

    Ruby Vee made a good point about watching surgeries - I was on a surgical floor for 7 years that did a lot of complicated pediatric surgeries like spinal fusions and bladder augmentations. When we...

    How do I become stronger clinically?

    Never be afraid to ask questions. And never be okay with not knowing. I have found that these 2 simple things are a great start to not only increasing your knowledge base but increasing your...
  14. I was at my first hospital for 8 years - I spent my first year as a new grad in PICU and then moved to another floor for the remaining 7 years. I had every intention of staying there my whole career...

    Am I In or Nah??

    Yea this seems very straight forward in regards to their wording that you are not guaranteed a spot - that's literally the last sentence. Call and speak to them to find out the

    animal therapy

    I've worked at three large pediatric hospitals, and they all have had pet therapy which I believe is amazing. Kids who didn't want to ambulated suddenly are walking, chronic kids who are withdrawn are...
