Got the job!!

So the director of the Med/Surg floor said I would hear something by today and well, I waited as long as I could before calling her seeing as I hadn't heard from her. I said I would wait until 4:00 but by 3:30 I was chomping at the bit so I called her. She said "I was just filling out your paperwork to offer you the job"!!! Yay me!! Now I know it's just a PCT/CNA job, but hey it gets my foot in the door right? I've talked to several of my friends who are in the semesters ahead of me & they've all said the same thing. "Get a job NOW". I have one friend who said she can't even get a PCT job b/c no one will hire her b/c she's too close to graduating. I never thought of that. Why wouldn't they want to hire you knowing that soon you'd be able to be a nurse there?? I don't know, but I am glad to have the job. The director said she thinks the pay is $10 an hour, which is pretty dece...

I'm still not sure...

DONE with my ER rotation! As a matter of fact that means I'm DONE with clinicals period! Woohoo!!! Friday was my last real clinical in nursing school. I worked 6 twelve hour shifts in the ER & I can truly say that I would feel 90% comfortable going straight to the ER from nursing school. Besides the actual trauma codes that come in, I feel like I could easily handle what goes on in that ER straight out of nursing school. I thought that I would LOVE ER, and I did to an extent, but what I really found out in this clinical was that I just DON'T KNOW . I don't know exactly what I want to do yet as far as being a nurse, and honestly I just don't think I would really LOVE any nursing job. I know that I want to be a NP & therefore nursing positions to me don't really hold a great appeal. That being said, I don't know yet 100% what dept. I want to to work in, and what I really came to realize is that I don't think I'm going to kno...

Night shift...

The other day I got a text to work night shift, 7p-7a. Well by the time I read the text it was already 3 pm & needless to say I wasn't going to get very much sleep beforehand if I was to work that shift so I compromised & told the floor supervisor that I would work until 2 am. Now mind you this is my first hospital job & working nights was of course something I'd never done, so I was interested to see what it was all about. Can I just say how much I love night shift? I mean talk about a MUCH more relaxed environment, I mean whoa the difference between night & day is, well, like night & day ;) If you've worked night shift you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. No baths, no feedings, no visitors, no office personnel, I mean strictly meds & paperwork. Uh hello night shift glad to have met you. So here's what I'm thinking. I never thought I could d...

Did I REALLY sign up for this??
