I'm just curious... How many people worked in a hospital setting (PCT, CNA, sitter, tech, etc) then got hired by that hospital as an RN? It seems like that's the best and easiest way "in," or so I've heard. I just got a job as a PRN PCT and am wonder...

I'm a new grad/just finished my internship and I never drove home in tears. Was I tired? Some days. Sleep was always a priority and I made it a point to have a hobby I loved aside from work, even with a kiddo. You'll be great! Always accept feedback...

That's how mine was now I'm divorced. Hahahaha - in short - he didn't want a woman who could support herself and didn't "need" him. I say go to counseling and figure out the deeper issue.

I'm wondering why always such a debate over this topic? If you pass, you pass. If you fail. You fail. There's no secret to this exam. If there was, we would all pass - which obviously - we do not all pass.
Do practice questions, did you go over the questions you missed when you finished last time? Did you see why you missed them? Exit hesi questions are chosen from a pool of questions by your instructors so there's not really "a way" to pass other then...

Just laugh it off and do what you need to do. No one will understand the craziness of the studying unless they are doing it themselves. Trust me. No other major, family member, friend, etc will get it - regardless of how you explain it. You know what...

I just completed my internship (in cardiac tele) at the Mansfield location and LOVE IT. The company is great and I think our intern training was very sufficient. I can say I feel way more confident then I thought I would be. I have a friend over at ...
All these areas are saturated BUT an co-intern of mine moved from ARKANSAS and got a spot here as an intern! It's possible but you gotta stand out and have some kind of tech experience usually 😃
crossfitnurse replied to funtimes's topic in Technicians
I bet you're just gods gift to nursing. You don't even NEED techs? Wow. Please, teach me of your ways. Teach me how to get techs to run when I ask for help. Teach me how to tell them they don't need to learn anything or expand their knowledge in any...
crossfitnurse replied to funtimes's topic in Technicians
Reading over your posts it sounds like you need a new job. If your techs ONLY do vitals maybe you need to go somewhere else if that's not enough for you? If you cant tget decent help when you ask for it and they are no where to be found like you sta...

Oh but about the living situation - the only reason I wouldn't live around that hospital is because it's so stinkin busy with traffic! All the shops and stuff they have built makes it crazy at times.

Could you maximize your workout time on days off? That's what I do, then I workout right BEFORE I work on one of my night shifts. (Usually the first one of the stretch or week, depending on the work schedule.) that way you have two days off and the o...

I think some other internships will be posted for some of the other Methodist hospitals in the near future. I'm a current intern and I heard this through the grapevine today.
