Gerald started his summer job at Hershey Medical Center on Monday. (Yes, at Hershey, Pa., the town with the most fragrant air pollution in the world.) He thinks his uniform (white pants and baby blue shirt) looks feminine. Hershey Med is associated with Penn State University and their colors are blue and white so I suppose that explains their color choice.
The first two weeks are basically orientation but after that he will be working on the nurosurgery floor. He is looking forward to getting some hands-on experience in the hospital. Hershey takes only 15 student nurses for Externship I so he was very fortunate to be accepted. This position puts his foot on the first rung of the ladder he hopes to climb at Hershey. If they like his work it will be easier for him to get one of the 45 Externship II positions next year. Then he can request the department in which he would like to work instead of being assigned to one as he was this year. And then he should be in good standing to land a job there after graduation the following year.
I am using this post to congratulate him on his progress thus far---two years of college behind him and a good start to a career a nursing. You're doing great!
