Guest Quotes:

12:57 Abby: (on getting involved) “I found an opportunity that was just enough for me to feel like I was involved. But wasn’t overwhelming and adding a large load to me.”

20:10 Lindsay (on interview/resume tips) “anything else that you can put on there that shows that you are truly interested in the experience. You care because I think we look for people who are passionate about this setting, not just doing it to like, try it out, get some experience and move on to something else. But people who want to grow and develop and stick around for a long time. And there are a lot of little things that you can do to show that.”

25:51 About the Upcoming Town Hall: “So it’s mostly for students to be able to ask questions about a lot of these topics and more.

How to prepare for clinical and acute care, how to transition from students to being a acute care P. P. Should you do a residency or not? So we have some therapists on the panel from different hospitals across the country with some different perspectives and different ways that they went about the job search and that transition.”

Rapid Responses:

What TV show would you recommend for people to binge watch?

You know you work in acute care when…

Abby: “I’ll say when your, your feet are almost numb at the end of the day”

Lindsay: “You’re riding your bike to work and you’re like imagining. If I were to crash right now, if a car was to hit me, would they take me to my hospital or another hospital?”
