PNA program
I’m waiting to hear if my application was accepted for the PNA program. I applied to two hospitals and it is extremely competitive. Basically, the program runs for about 8 weeks and it is a paid externship. You get to work hands on with a nurse, like in clinicals, on an assigned floor and get paid to do it. How awesome, right?
At one hospital, there are about 80 positions. At the other hospital, they aren’t sure yet. But last year, there were close to 200 people applying for less than 70 spots. Ahhh.
You got to rank your preferred floors although it is never guaranteed where you’ll be. I chose PICU, PACU, Peds PACU, ER, ICU
[After this last rotation, I wished there was an L&D option too...doh!]
The waiting game is the worst part I think.
Love,
