I was really calm reading your first paragraph, the ideal. Well, any job is stressful. I really need the hospital experience; although, I was hoping to get that experience with an orientation. God Bless,

I seriously appreciate that you took the time to respond. :)My major concern is that I have not worked in the acute care, or hospital. I mean, working directly at a hospital means that you will receive an orientation, ever a couple days of orientation and some additional training. I guess, I just have to decide if I will work in the hospital through a nurse staffing agency without any experience in the hospital. God Bless You Truly,

I was hired at an nursing agency in Seattle, Washington and I am a part time nursing student. I will be placed in hospitals and nursing homes; although, I have never worked in a hospital. Can you tell me what your typical routine is like? What do you do with new admits/discharges. Do you set up EKG monitors? God Bless, you sound like a trooper.

Hello fellow NA-Cs and nursing students I was just hired at an agency in Seattle, Washington that staffs throughout Washington and other states. The agency staffs nursing homes and hospitals and assisted living. A little background about me is that I am taking a few more prerequisites until I apply for the Practical Nursing Program. I have already earned an Associate in Technical Arts Degree (Computers, basically) I plan to use this with a Practical Nursing Certificate. Technology & Nursing Anyhoo, I will be placed in hospitals and I have never worked in a hospital. I have worked in nursing homes and it goes back to 1984; although, I have not worked in hospitals. Most agencies require one year of acute care experience as with hospitals in Washington State. My question is the following: Can anyone tell me what the day to day routine of working in a hospital as an NA-C? What does the NA-C do, specifically, with admits/discharges, for instance. Is the agency NA-C required to set up EKG monitors? Help!! Anyway, God Bless
