Loved this job wish had never been let go
Outpatient Surgery Secretary/Unit Secretary (Former Employee), Boone, NC – May 29, 2013
Pros: met lots of people got to know the doctors and was on very good terms with them.
Cons: honestly there were more cheifs than indians.
Each day consisted of scheduling pre-admit appointments, scheduling procedures, answering phones, and making surgery charts. I experienced what is required for patients in a healthcare environment I learned all the requirements for surgery including getting patient records needed for determining patient's condition is acceptable for surgery. My co-workers – more... became like my family we worked together like a family. It was always great to get to sit down for lunch and laugh and tell stories while we enjoyed our lunch with the staff. – less

Wonderful place to work but as the economy fell they expected more of each employee with less staff which made it hard on everyone.
Outpatient Surgery Secretary/Unit Secretary (Former Employee), Boone, NC – January 27, 2013
Pros: co-workers who believed in god and could talk to them freely about it, had weekends and holidays off.
Cons: short staffed, expected you to jump through hoops outside your main expected job, very low yearly raises.
Each day was very fast paced which I loved because it made the day go by fast.
In my 11 years working there I learned a lot about all the different surgery procedures and what is required for each person to have surgery. I learned what all the requirements are for surgery and enjoyed getting to know all the doctors and surgeons. I was in very good relations – more... with all the local surgeon offices and all the doctors loved me.
I loved all my co-workers they were all like family to me they took care of me and watched out for me were there when I needed them whether it be personal or needing a break they were always eager to help me.
The position became stressful for me when our admissions was removed from outpatient surgery and I took on that replacement plus the position of Unit Secretary I was just overwhelmed with all the change.
I do miss talking with my co-workers, doctors, surgeons, and other hospital staff they were all a joy to be around. We were like a family we learned from each other. – less
