hello

Anyone work in Wakemed ED??

Rob are you thinking of applying for the LPN ED position? I am currently in orientation this week at Wakemed as a RN on 5b. The HR people told us yesterday that Wakemed recieves 3500-4000 application EVERY week. So just know that your will be in competition with Thousands of other people. I have never worked in their ED but they see an average of 300 people a day there. 140,000 people a year. These were some of the stats they were telling us yesterday. Good Luck, and know that it is Extremly hard to get on there.
