You go gworllllll ❤️ & anytime, always here for tips!

I’m a nurse extern and where I live you can not do any of that like it’s only registered staff who can pass meds and start IV’s, however, it depends on the nurse and how confident you look!. I have got to pass meds, check blood sugars, start IV, hang medication in fact high alert medication on my own with no nurse there etc. It all depends they just tell you to not say anything. But yeah the hospital is an amazing experience trust me

[@alexapericles9898]

This video came just in time, I have a interview tomorrow for nurse extern at a hospital in south Florida as well

[@DominiqueDooley]

Whoop whoop 🙌🏽 best of luck to you, I know it’s today; prayers up!!

[@arthimohan6229]

Hope you had a good one ... Do you mind sharing some interview tips / questions ?

[@alexapericles9898]

@@arthimohan6229 for my interview she asked a lot about my clinical experiences and skills that I feel like I could bring to the team. I would say what really helped me in the interview was that I had questions to ask her, so near the end of the interview it felt more like a conversation.

[@arthimohan6229]

Thanks for your response ... My clinicals have been virtual so far unfortunately. So not sure how that part of interview will go !

[@alexapericles9898]

@@arthimohan6229 no problem, during that portion of the interview just mention it’s been online and talk about how it’s played a part in your learning and say that you would like this position to obtain the missing hands on portion of clinicals. It’s really just the way you word it.

[@DominiqueDooley]

Your welcome, & thank you! ❤️

[@Purpleharts]

Cna Maryland $24.95. I work at one of the sister hospitals. Depending on hospital base and location pay before Covid $12-15 after about $17-19. If you have a year or more $17-20. Downside at my hospital nurse extern make less then cna. Extern wear cna uniform top color but nurse color pants.

[@Thewades2022]

I'm a PCA (non certified CNA)in a hospital and make $15/hour.

[@DominiqueDooley]

See! Everywhere varies, that’s why I try to stay away from numbers because every state and facility is different but I know you guys want to know about pay.

[@thetayloralexus]

i really enjoyed this video Dom and you look gorgeous ❤️

[@nahomiemichel9737]

thank you for the information I only have 6 months left of nursing school and was really thinking about it since due to covid I don't get as much clinical experience !!! I DONT want to be nervous when I do finally get on the floor when i pass the nclex.

[@Empresslouna]

Thank you! 💞 hair details will be in my next vlog as well as the stylist! & I can definitely do an “everyday make up” look for you guys! 😍

Great video!

love your video I learned a lot!

[@DominiqueDooley]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@wshelby83]

Hi Domonique, I hope you see this. I might get a position at a hospital for a nurse extern position. On my application I put $17 an hour. However, I'm seeing that there are other nurse extern, who get $20 an hour. If I get the interview, how do you think I could negotiate this? Or do you think it's not appropriate during that time?

[@sydneyford6794]

I am so glad I found your KZbin! You are one semester ahead of me, so everything you post comes right on time. I just started looking at extern opportunities in my area for next summer.

[@aw8758]

you look gorgeous sis!!!!

[@DominiqueDooley]

Thank you beautifullllll 💕

[@keekeey6458]

I recently have an interview for a nurse extern position, but I’ve been a CNA for almost 7 years. If I were to accept the job, the rate is lower than my position now. Do you have any negotiation tips?

[@DominiqueDooley]

Eeeeeek!! 😱😳 I would negotiate to at least keep your current rate but just change positions. Stress your long term relationship with the hospital, 7 years that’s almost a decade! Also your work ethic, attendance/time punctuality! Bring up how much of a gem you are to their facility -as you ARE 💎 if the position is lower paying than a CNA, unfortunately there’s not much you could argue, I don’t believe; however, I would fight for your current rate/raises you’ve earned in the past years! & of course if it doesn’t work out, you’d have to decide whether to keep your money, or go for the experience. Please keep me updated, I’d love to see how everything worked out, I hope this advice helped 💕

[@keekeey6458]

@@DominiqueDooley thank you so much!💕 I was so afraid of trying to ask without having experiences with IVs or EKGs. Best of luck with nursing school🤗

[@DominiqueDooley]

Remember the answer will always be no if you don’t at least try! 💪🏽 & thank you!! Best of luck to you as well!

[@nanakunana3625]

Hi, love this video. What hospital are you externing at? Hope you don't mind me asking

[@abigailhalasey]

Do you remember any specific questions they asked you during your interview? Thanks love!

[@lexykay9647]

Hey Dominique , this is a great video! I am looking into a nurse extern positions. you mentioned a recruiter . Did you use indeed or linkedin to get a recruiter or is it through the hospital?

[@DominiqueDooley]

Hey love! It was the recruiter through the hospital 💕

[@SimplyShaiRN]

Yesss sis 👏🏾

[@DominiqueDooley]

❤️

[@RavenAlexx]

Is a nurse tech and nurse external the same thing? Just curious because I am in the process of being a nurse tech

[@RavenAlexx]

i meant *extern

[@wshelby83]

I hope you see this!! Did you need your cna license for the externship position? even though you already had yours?

[@DominiqueDooley]

I see you girly ❤️ & no, nothing is required of you as far as licensure when it comes to becoming an extern.

[@Abenatimah]

Are international students eligible

[@nkyahjen5625]

Where’s the hair from 😍

[@kianaw3009]

Where did you get your hair from ? 😍

[@DominiqueDooley]

It’s from Slove Hair & styled by @hair_byedherlie on IG, my best friend ❤️ the details will be in this weekends vlog girly don’t worry, I put y’all on 🤪

[@jessicagreen6850]

I'm curious to know if LPNs/LVNs (Already licensed) can work as a nurse extern while in (RN-BSN) nursing school? If IV, EKG, Phlebotomy and acute care training certificates are obtained. Please advise. Thank u 😊

[@DominiqueDooley]

That is something that I am unsure of; I would assume so, not because you have a LPN license but strictly because your completed with half of the RN program which is the main requirement and the only thing that makes you eligible; however, the best way to find out is by asking! ☺️

[@daishanewsomednp6956]

I was wondering the same thing ♥️🩺

[@yuneisyperez5422]

I have emailed the recruiters and no one has got back to me what do I do?

[@DominiqueDooley]

My biggest piece of advice is to continue to apply to new positions that open up. Also, take into consideration sprucing up your resume as it could be that also. Lastly, if you know anyone in the hospital that your applying to, tell them to put in a good word for you-that’ll speed up the process a lot!

[@MegNaturally]

Do you eventually want to be a CRNA or do you want to stay in trauma?

[@DominiqueDooley]

I plan to work as a trauma nurse/travel nurse while in school to either become a FNP or CRNA ❤️

SUCK Part here for PCT You dont get paid for being a nurse extern . lol but im fine im there to learn

[@Fleurr5678]

Are there any COVID patients you care for?

[@DominiqueDooley]

Yes! Sometimes I work the Covid unit; where everyone in the unit is positive for Covid. That requires me to be suited up and masked up; I don’t even wear my own scrubs there. It’s so crazy!
