Its been at least 8 years since Ive done home care. I liked it, but not loved it. It kinda isolated me from the real world. And less active. But I did do it for a year or so and got back in a hospital. I felt more like a maid than a cna doing home care. To each their own.

I had a phone interview a few months ago for a nursing home. I applied online an thought it was for a hospital :uhoh21:. It was a good, comfortable interview. I had all my paperwork nearby...(resume, behavorial questions, references...etc). She mainly asked me my work history and if I had a current cpr card, and if I was still interested. I said yes at first. Then I found out it was a nursing home, an hour away from me. Then I called her the next day, to cancel it. Now I work at a hospital nearby :w00t:. Good luck with the interview.

Thank you

I know how you feel. I stuttered a few times during my first interview. And I thought...eeeekkkk, I just ruined it. And they called me a few days later, and offered me the job. Just think, if they called you in after the 1st interview, thats a good sign

I will be getting one of these by the end of next week. Some people said it hurts and have bad reactions. I had tetorifice shots before in the past (no problem). Just like to hear others experience in having tdap shots.

Hope you get it, the waiting is that hard part

Landing a hospital job is tough, even if you do have exp. I also live in florida and job hunting is a job here. Networking really helps out and enrolling in a class like phlebotomy is a plus too. Each hospital has their own protocol. I just got hired at a local hospital as a pca (patient care assistant). It took awhile to get that 1st phone call. Keep applying, applying and applying. Even if you get rejected online. It will happen

I got my hospital job.....just by keep applying and contacts do help. Sure ive been rejected alot, by several hospitals. But that just made me want to apply more. And I handed in a resume and cover letter when I had my interview. I just got hired the other day as a PCA. :yelclap:

Patient Care Assistant :)

She called me yesterday and they would like for me to join their team. Im so glad, I thought I was going to wait another week for that phone call:yeah:Ive been out of work for almost 6 months, im just excited. It took me over a period of 4 months and 9 applications and applying different positions at the hospital to get in. In the long run, its worth it :cheers:.

Update......but I want to thank everyone for their comments. I just came back from my 1st interview at the hospital. It went by very well. I didnt interview with the HR lady, she just directed me to the floor to the nurse manager to whom I would be working with. She didnt ask any behavorial questions, (which I was prepared for) and mostly talked how what the floor was about the way the pca's work on the floor. And after she took me on a tour of the floor and introduced me to some employees...... This is the job I wanted, it took over at least 6 weeks for them to contact me. I hope this is a good sign :yelclap:. Then she will let me know by next week to interview again . And the waiting begins, lol

I keep checking this and wondered if they forgot about it. The job I applied for is no longer on there. I haven't even recieved a phone call. I applied for others as well, at different hospitals. I know it takes awhile, but 4 weeks....gosh. And those auto-response emails, says not to call HR. Im just curious, what the longest time span anyone has waited for that first interview? Ive been a pca in a hospital before, its been a few years. I hope that doesn't hinder it.
