Experiences at Select Speciality Hospital

They had changed my schedule & I didn't know it,so @ 7p my Supervisor is calling me saying"Where are you"
I immediately went in and was only 15 minutes late ,embarassed & worked in my street clothes.Not really funny ,but the closest thing that I can come up with.There's not much room for funny stuff there,it's a very serious unit-keeps you on your toes....

I couldn't tell you.I really am not into Blog's.

All of them.

Through an employee that I had worked with at another facility.Prior to that,I had thought that Select was just another Transition Care Unit.It is very far from that.It's closer to a ICU Unit than anything that I can describe.They are extremely particular about who they hire.They only want the best,& that's what they have....

You're working with the best out there.Look,listen,& learn.everyone has something unique to offer to the Team.

ACLS certified.Telemetry interpretation.How great it is to work with such Professionals on a team basis.Bad attitudes are not tolerated at Select.The management will deal with that rapidly.The level of care needed for those patients doesn't leave time to deal with unprofessional type people with disrespectfull,non-patient oriented individuals....

Teamwork,Variety of patient assignments,the level of Professionalism from the entire medical team-from the CNA's all the way to the Dr.'s-We had a great deal of trust & respect for each other.

Stabilizing Code victims for transfer to ICU,if the Dr. chose to transfer.And seeing middle aged patients,whom could not be Vent weaned,taken off the Vent to pass-on & comforting the families after the fact.

Multitasking.
