GREY NUNS HOSPITAL

Every day was different, and that is what I love about the medical field.  You never know what will happen during your shift which keeps the excitement and enjoyment in the career.
I always learned the most from the patients.  They know their bodies, and also have personal stories to tell you as well.  I am very much a people person and have been told several times that I should be doing what my passion is, and that is medicine.  I have learned excellent diagnostic techniques, and am able to tell when a patient is in serious trouble or not.  I come from a family of medical professionals and therefore I have a clear understanding of medical terminology, patient interaction, and how to prioritize each job that is asked of me.

Working for Grey Nuns Hospital was a challenge. The job itself was fast-paced but the environment was hard to deal with. Because it was a hospital, employees working there basically had to be emotionless. There was always something going on in the emergency which made it a little tough to be working there. I personally really liked it because I got along with everyone and my co-workers treated me very well. But working in a hospital is tough because of the things that happen there. I would go back in a heart beat and do what I had done before.

helping patients eat, taking care of patients, normal nurse type duties, buying flowers for sad patients, assisting customers/visitors, cash handling at flower shop, keeping track of records/visitors sign and sign out timing, making sure all patients are in a good, happy state.

hardest part was dealing with distressed patients.

working with the best co-workers was my favourite part of the day, and lunch tim of course

The workload was ok as housekeeper but the phillipinos never spoke English in the workplace which is mandatory in canada.management was poor at best and was not a help in any way.especially with providing the workers with tools for the job.also they were never on your side uf you need the union which was also useless

Collected blood on the wards and in emergency and got very good at it, was often ask to go back for collections other people could not get. often spent extra time talking to patients, specially when you knew they were lonely or scared.

Typical daily grind of a unit clerk. depends on the area you're in and what shift you're working and whether it is a 8hr or 12hr shift. not a lot of time to sit and relax so if that's what you're looking for this isn't the place for you.

Was a pleasant place to work a little stressful when dealing with patients that had unknown illnesses or diseases and viruses that could be transmitted to me or that I could possibly take home and it could be a little boring once all your work is done but it was very fulfilling and definitely worth it 👌 

Working as a volunteer gives a peace of mind that is incredibly beyond the comparison. The entire staff is highly caring, emphasizing human values and best place to learn about humanity and learn about conflicts of health.

Working on a medicine unit in a hospital is stressful. Most of my coworkers were amazing and made the high stress, increasing workload more manageable. With increased capacity of clients and demand on nurses it is something I would not return too. But I have loads of respect for those amazing nurses that work there!

there is very little choice in where you work, what hours you work and who you work with on a daily basis. however the biggest positive is that there is many people to work with that you are bound to find someone in any area that will make your work day go well.
