Typhon logs for employment

[orangepink]

As a new grad NP, is it true that typhon logs are used as a basis for employment? Particularly for those moving out of state.

Never heard of them, and more to the point, never been asked for it or them as the case may be. Don't worry about them.

A month of cardiology is not training in my mind. You are not credentialed nor licensed nor held to the standard of an employee but rather that of a student. However I would include it on your resume to show initiative and interest.

We were required to do typhon logs for school but I did not use them when searching for my job. On my resume I listed my clinical rotations with the number of hours for each rotation. I did almost 300 of my 800 hours in cardiology but I don't think that "wowed" anyone since a lot of students do clinical time in various specialties

I printed mine and handed them out at interviews because mine demonstrated an outstanding breadth of student learning experiences, and I wanted potential employers to consider that I had at least been exposed to A through Z, though I was obviously a novice. Better to hire someone that had done sutures a mere dozen times than one who had never done any! It says, hey, at least I can get started myself and in all likelihood do a reasonable job without hand holding. If nothing else, I know how to help you finish it if I screw it up.

No one asked me for them, but everyone appreciated being able to see them.

I guess this is the best thing I can do.

Yup, i got the job. And they were more trusting of my be willing to do procedures like caths because of it.
