Thank you for your interest in the Clinical Care Extender Program!
The program currently operates at Citrus Valley Medical Center in West
Covina, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, St. Mary
Medical Center in Long Beach and<b> this particular program runs at two
hospitals St. John Regional Medical Center</b>/ <b>Pleasant Valley
Hospital</b> in <b>Oxnard/ Camarillo</b>. I would like to briefly
explain the program, how it works, and how each of you can be involved.
<br>
The program is designed with two purposes in mind; 1. Help support
the hospital staff to increase the quality of patient care and 2.
Provide unparalleled opportunities for future health professions
students.<br>
The program has been up and running for over 8 years now at Citrus
and started at St. John’s two years ago, so I am looking for more
dedicated, energetic students. We are looking for a full class of 100
CCEs at St. Johns and therefore we need the BEST! This is where you all
come in. <br>
Before you even set foot in the hospital we will spend <b>3 days
training you</b>. Topics covered will range from anatomy and physiology
to infection control. We will do a lot of hands on training with body
mechanics and patient transporting. We will teach medical topics and
terminology as well as condition specific precautions. After the
training, you will get a department specific training, where you will
learn about the unit you will be going to. <br>
Upon entering the program you will start out on a basic nursing unit.
There, you will get your feet wet in the hospital environment and
assist the patient care process. You will be doing hands on tasks, not
filing, or paperwork. You will remain there for three months, which is
one rotation. At the end of the three months, you will be able to
rotate to another department. The departments vary by hospital.
Currently some of the departments we have open are Pediatrics, the
Emergency Department and Mother Baby Care Unit, as well as the
operating room We will try and open a new department every three to six
months. <br>
As far as the details for the program I will explain the basics
and we can go into more detail when we meet. We ask for a <b>one</b> <b>year
commitment</b>, volunteering for <b>one four hour shift per week</b>.
You sign up for your department a month in advance. For example, a
schedule for November would have been put out on October 1st and will
remain out until October 25th. It is first come, first serve. The
shifts are 7 days a week, from 7am-11am, 11am-3pm, 3pm-7pm, and
7pm-11pm. You can come back as many times as you want between the 1st
and the 25th and make changes. After the 25th it will be pulled, typed
and posted in various places, one being the floor so the nurses and
doctors know when to expect you. <br>
<b>Every three months you can rotate to a new department</b>. If
you like the department you are in and the staff also would like you to
stay, you may. One of your 4 rotations, you are required to do "extra
hours". It is another 4 hours a week, for a total of 8 hours a week.
These hours are for the hospital to use you however they need you. Most
students choose to do these hours during the summer. In the past they
have been projects like FIT testing, where CCEs taught the staff how to
properly wear the correct size mask for isolation rooms. We also have
had extra hour projects for patient relations where CCE checked on new
patients within 6 hours of admit time to see if anything was needed.
CCEs have also done pain management surveys. <br>
We will also have opportunities for leadership team members. I
will explain those opportunities during the training. <br>
This is going to be an amazing experience for everyone involved
and I hope all of you are interested in becoming a part of it! <br>
I look forward to hearing from you all. Please let me know if you
have any questions. <br>
<b>The next step is for you to sign up for an
orientation/interview</b>. It will possibly be in a group setting and
will last about 1 to 1 ½ hours. During this session you will learn
everything about the program and will have a chance to ask questions.
You will also have an application which should be filled out prior to
the interview which you will hand in and then participate in a group
interview. <br>
Your name and email address will be added to the distribution list.
