Constantly changing and challenging
Microbiology Lab Technician (Current Employee), Chicago, IL –
Pros: values, patient care, prioritizing, positive environment, job security, constant innovation
Cons: commute, hours, growth
At U of C we strive to provide the best patient care while maintaining patient confidentiality. Approximately five years ago U of C instituted Oracle and Epic Live to manage and update patient charts with the hopes to improve and better organize its database. I've learned to deal with prioritizing work, troubleshooting problems, reporting critical values, – more...  communication among different levels in the organization, and teamwork. Management and co-workers provide positive reinforces to one another and believe in lending a helping hand when necessary to accomplish our daily goals. The hospital strives and continues to innovative in the medical field. Creating new testing methods and having an extensive research division. Allowing our staff to learn and adapt to new testing methods implemented. Unfortunately some senior co-workers are not adaptive to change and make transitions of new testing methods unnecessarily difficult. The most difficult part of my job would be the commute and the most enjoyable part is the positive, inviting atmosphere we created as a group at our institution. – less

Organized workplace and employers
Certified Nursing Assistant (Current Employee), Chicago, Il. –
Pros: experience
Cons: lack of staff
The University is well respected for it's organization and the wonderful treatment to their patients 24 hrs. a day 7 days a week. I have learned how to uphold a professional and polite attitude. The co-workers I work for and with are also very adjusted to work with as well. What make the job a little tough is reall trying to please every patient especially – more...  the sensitive ones sort to speak. I love making the patients happy regardless how difficult they are.I also enjoy the fast pace of the job. – less

A typical work day for me is, by making a great number of phone calls to follow up with patients and collect feed back about there hospital stay. Sometimes, there is administration work that is handed over to me.

Best place I ever worked learned alot
CT Tech (Former Employee), Chicago, IL –
Pros: whole lot of experience points.
Cons: no time to rest, just work.
No doubt you get enough experience to learn your craft. Very very busy, if you are lazy or unmotivated this is not the place for you. If you want a boat load of experience and a real chance to progress in your field, like go from x-ray to CT, and take the required registry your in.
