START STRONG!

Good Evening Med Occs!

I am SO excited for you to begin your internships tomorrow! Yeah!!!!!

Some quick reminders for you...

• ON TIME = 15 MINUTES EARLY! Anticipate your needs, pack a snack before site as there is no eating and make sure you have gas in your car!
• Wear your SCRUBS! Even to orientations.  You are required to be in uniform from here on out.
• Hair pulled back
• Only single piercings
• All acrylic or gel nails removed.  Nails should be short and clean.  If polished, they should be a natural color.
• Absolutely NO cell phones!
• You MUST have your ID badge on you at all times.
• You MUST have your site binder with you or in your department with you at all times.
• Don't forget to record your times on your time sheets!

For the first two weeks...

• Carry your little notebook and take notes on EVERYTHING! From where things are stored to procedures to people's names.  This is your cheat sheet.
• Ask for clarification and be GRATEFUL for the opportunity your site is providing you.
• If you don't see me tomorrow, you will see me at least once this week.  Make sure you are always prepared as this is a large portion of your grade now. 
• Text or call me with any questions!

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it. Ralph Marston

• We are quizzing tomorrow so be prepared!

Get ready for your interview

Good Morning Med Occs!

Remember your job this week is to contact your site supervisor and set up a time to come in and interview.  You will need to bring your resume and your cover letter.

TOMORROW
Please bring in a copy of your resume and cover letter that we can mock up if we need to.
You can find resources on how to write an effective COVER LETTER HERE. Read the entire article.  You will find links on the three different types of cover letters.  Click on application or inquiry and follow the link t the samples.  Make sure to format it correctly.  You MUST have this in class tomorrow so that you can get feedback before going to interview with your site.

PM Class - You received site supervisor names and phone numbers Friday.
AM Class - You will receive it tomorrow.  We literally have less than two weeks before you go out to site so make sure you bring your A game every day this week!

Having issues with your scrubs, please contact BUllards to see if they can exchange them.

Better late than never...

Please DO NOT contact your site.  I will go over protocol Friday.  HW tonight should be to research your site and get directions to site from your home school.  If we are still firming your site up just research the one I gave you in class.  Thanks See you Friday
