Royal Blackburn Hospital site info needed

[flashy]

Right, as a handful of you already know, i have been offered a job (conditionally) as a healthcare worker at The Royal Blackburn, went for interview on August 2nd and was offered the job by 5pm that day.
As i said this is only conditional....tomorrow i have to go to the hospital for an I.D check and to see the occupational health team.
I went to the learning centre at the Park view offices for my interview which is through the old entrance, now here's my dilemma, i have to go to Employment support at The Park view offices in the morning, but i'm damned if i can find any info on this darn place...is it in the learning centre or somewhere else? on a map, the Park view offices are seperate to the Learning centre but there is nothing about employment support

HELPPPPP!!!!

please

Shaz just go to the Park View Offices and ask someone there to give you directions...turn up early so that it gives you time to seek directions....and find your way around.

Good luck with this new job...it will be challenging, but I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Well done Flashy, you must have beaten my daughter to that job, she went for an interview there on same day.

Thankyou Marg, that's what my dad has just said

G, my interview was at 2pm that day, they had been interviewing since 8.30 that morning, there where quite a few interviewed according to one of the ladies who interviewed me, god knows why they picked me though, i will keep my ears open for any other hca jobs that come up, maybe your daughter might get lucky in another one

I am beyond excited, i just hope i pass everything tomorrow

She`s applied for quite a few, had two interviews but so far unsuccessful. Her interview was about 1 o clock for 45 mins so you may have seen her on her way out. I wouldn`t worry about tomorrow, just a formality, CRB checks etc.

[gpick24]

thanx Cashy, i just want to get my start date through now, i've wanted to be a healthcare worker since i was 16, thats what i did my NVQ for in the first place (many many moons ago), i know its just a general dogsbodys job but i don't care, i just want to help and as you lot already know, i just love a challenge

Shaz, there's only one thing you need to remember...whichever patient you are caring for, make them feel the most important person in your life at that moment.....do what you would do for someone you love...and do it with love.

You`ll do other stuff as well as being a "dogsbody", you`ll learn to take blood, catheterize etc. maybe not straight away, but you will eventually.

i don't think it will involve taking blood, blood pressure and temperature yes, i was a care assistant for many years so i know the basics already, i think the communicating with patients will be the hardest thing i will come across, even though i may not show it on here, my friends know i am a caring person who has a lot to give and i think i will get a lot of fulfillment from this job, i know it's not going to be easy and it is very demanding but i am going to give it 100% i can either fail or excel, either way i will know i have done my best
