BHMC ED - Good experience I guess. - Paramedic Broward Health Employee Review

It was a great facility to work for

Getting your requested schedule h want

• You get real hands-on experience. You’re not just watching — you’re actually doing vitals, patient care, and getting comfortable in the hospital setting. • When you have a good nurse, you can learn a lot. Some nurses are amazing and will actually explain things, show you skills, and let you be involved. • You get exposure to different units. This helps you figure out what you like and don’t like before becoming an RN. • It builds confidence. Being around patients and real situations makes you way more prepared than just clinicals alone. • You learn how the hospital actually runs — teamwork, communication, time management, all of it.

• You’re not always able to follow a nurse as much as you’d like, which can limit learning opportunities. • You get floated to different units often, so it can feel inconsistent and hard to build relationships or routine. • Sometimes there’s a lot of responsibility on you, especially with tasks, and it can feel overwhelming. • Not all nurses are willing to teach, so your experience really depends on who you’re with that day. • At times, it can feel more like tech work than a learning role, especially when the unit is busy.
