I found out yesterday that HR has approved the CCU/Telemetry department’s request to keep me on after my summer externship and roll me into a permanent, benefit eligible position in the Telemetry Unit in Meridian effective August 17th. I get to keep my current position as a Nurse Apprentice which allows me to keep my pay rate as well as train for extra duties such as Unit/Telemetry Clerk, EKG, and/or phlebotomy.
I am pretty excited because they are open to my requested schedule around my classes. The benefits are not as great as they were at UPS, but the flexible schedule, more hours, better pay, and unique clinical experience more than make up for it.
