My stepping stone..
Laboratory Assistant (Former Employee), Grand Etang Rd,St. George's, Grenada W.I. – February 21, 2013
Here at the General Hospital is where I have acquired most of my training,and where I pursued to do a phlebotomy technician program.Its been challenging in that I was new to the whole field and knowing I had people's life in my hands.I had to make sure I dotted my I's and crossed my T's. But the fact that I had such a passion for what I did it has paid – more... of magnificently.Management sometimes make it difficult to work with but it was not too bad ,I still had a job to go to every morning. On a typical day of work at any given department I had approximately 200 plus sample to be done at a stipulated time on that same day. So where efficiency is involved I'm highly equipped for that. – less

Always a place to get on one's feet for various challenges....
Medical Doctor (Former Employee), Abia State – November 10, 2012
Pros: free food during call hours and festive periods like christmas.
Cons: no breaks...
It's a fact that a physician keeps learning each day of his profession, different approaches to various medical and surgical emergencies like auto amputation, crush injuries and many more. The management is encouraging and supportive by making available facilities needed for various procedures, not forgetting enthusiastic co-workers that make my day – more... each day at work with hard work and enormous cooperation. One must not forget that some patients and patient relatives especially the disabled patients can get difficult to relate with and therefore becomes difficult to help them and it solely depends on you and your personal skills to make way when the road is blocked, when there is good understanding between you and your patients and patient relatives work day could look like a fun day. – less
