In response to my earlier common; No my hospital in NYC does not require call. Only the Liver team is on call but those nurses on the liver team have been there for decades

Thanks everyone for your comments! I was able to pass the exam just by reviewing the post test for each modules and reading some practice questions on quizlet. Now I can officially start my clinical practice portion of my orientation ?

Hello all. I just transferred into the OR this month and have started my periop 101 classes. So far it’s been us just doing the modules on the AORN website at self pace. This week we will actually have an instructor leading us through lessons every day. With that being said, how in the hell do I study for the periop 101 exam???? It seems like a ton of information and I don’t know where to even begin to get my brain together. I was previously a medsurg nurse and we didn’t have to study this much in order to work on my old unit. I’m excited to learn new things about the OR, but I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to pass the exam because there’s soooo much information being thrown at me. I am more of a hands on learner, so reading text takes me time to understand. Advice is greatly appreciated! We get 2 tries to take this exam and I have a month to study. I just need to know where to start ?

As far as I know, my hospital in NYC doesn’t require on call. I have started orientation yet, due to covid orientation date was pushed back two months. If I find out more info on that I’ll let you know

I started at the age of 18. Once I graduated from High school in June, I started school in September of that same year, completing pre-reqs for the first year and then starting nursing classes my second year

I have checked. I'm from NY so in most hospitals they have positions like Nursing attendant or nursing companion or nurses aid, stuff like that. I've applied to those positions but I haven't heard anything back at all. I'm not qualified to be a PCT because it requires that you complete a course in EKG and Phlebotomy. I've been applying for over a year now and idk what to do at this point

Hello, So I know this question has been asked many times on this website but I'm hoping someone can give me some insight on how to get a hospital job during nursing school. A little background about myself; I am a third year nursing student (about to start peds and OB clinical rotations in the fall) and I currently work as a physical therapy aide (a little off, yes I know) I originally got the job because I wanted patient care experience, which I got. But now seeing as it is my last year of school I really want to get my foot in the door of a hospital soon. I've been applying to hospitals for almost two years now and I haven't had any luck getting a job My question is what jobs are good to apply for during nursing school? how hard is it to get a job in a hospital while in nursing school? What do I do when I haven't heard anything back from places I have applied to? How to get my foot in the door before graduation? *sorry this post was kind of long but i need all the help I can get*
