Assistant Teacher (Current Employee), Columbus, OH – April 23, 2012
Pros: management is easy to communicate with, and creativity is encouraged.
Nationwide Children's Hospital is a friendly, open, and busy place to be apart of. Each day consists of meeting the needs of the ten infants in our room with a smile and patience. Due to the fact that every infant is at a different stage in their life, it it important to be very detail oriented and up to date on their daily charts. These charts include – more... information about when the infant last ate, slept, and got a diaper. It is vital for myself and my co-workers to make sure to be consistent and tedious about filling out each chart. I enjoy the women that I work with and have gotten to know them on a personal level, not just professional. Since the children in my class are infants and have no form of communication, discovering the reason behind their moods is the hardest part of each day. The most enjoyable part of my job is helping and watching the development of the children. I love being involved in their lives and helping them grow. I have learned that patience and communication are a necessity. I have also learned that there are various difficulties throughout each day at every job, but it all depends on your attitude and how you approach those situations to determine your growth. – less
Typically i worked 8-12 hour shifts starting at 5:30am. Before I started my rounds of audits, I would check my email for any policy changes and organize the audit sheets. Then I would walk over to the hospital and audit hospital operations and implement policies on 19 inpatient units and the ER. This required me to interact with security officers, medical – more... staff, management, and senior leadership. I provided coaching and feedback to noncompliant employees and medical staff. The hardest part of the job was dealing with noncompliant staff members. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with the patients and watching their health improve day-to-day. – less
