I can relate. I used to work as a nursing assistant and obese people that cannot move makes me cringe because getting help to change her takes a long time. The worst is that the patient doesn't even want us to change her.

The schedule for orientation is 2 days on the floor 12 hours shift and one day of class per week from 7:30 AM-6PM. Starting pay is $22 that will go up to $25.60 after 3 months of orientation.

I am from the last cohort, I believe we had 15 people in the cohort. For Coast plaza hospital we had 3 (med/surg), 2 (ICU). For memorial hospital of gardena, I believe there were 3 (med/surg), 2 telemetry. For huntington Park, 3 (ER), 2 (telemetry). I am currently working at Coast plaza hospital.

Doctor ordered to force fluid to patient in room 1-1. Is this enough?

It's starting :). Anyone feeling nervous?

I will be working at Coast Plaza hospital :)

Hmm. For next week, I have orientation for Monday , Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

I graduated in May 2012. It took me a year and one month until i got a job offer on a med/surg unit. I was getting extremely frustrated.

I think it's a one year contract because I got the paper that said that when I filled out the application.

Is the pay rate starting at $22/hr and going to $28/hr? Did you guys get that information during the phone call with the job offer?

No i guess I didn't ask what shift it would be. I just assumed it would be day shift. Because during the interview, the lady asked in my ideal world what shift would I like to work and I said day shift. Haha I don't really care what shift. I am just happy to be employed.

You know I am not sure if the hospital that I will be working at is at Coast Plaza because I didn't ask. I went for the interview at Coast Plaza. I know I will be working in Med/Surg floor.
