Certified Nurse Aide

May 2018 • Wichita, KS

What I liked

I love my manager and the team I get to be a part of. I am learning so many valuable things to help me in my future career!

What I wish was different

The actual processing of starting the job was a little slow. I think it would be beneficial to speed the process up a little bit.

Advice

You have to stick with this job. In health care there and good and bad days. The good outweigh the bad and it is SO worth it in the end!

Operating Room Materials Coordinator

March 2015 • Wichita, KS

What I liked

I love everything about my job. I liked that the courses I took at WSU directly related to my job and I was able to improve existing skills and learn new ones through working and going to school.

What I wish was different

I wish more 8 week summer courses were offered staggered throughout the summer.

Advice

Work while you’re in school. In a relevant field. It’s difficult, but even just a part time job or volunteering regularly will help you more than you think.

It is okay to feel like you don't know how to do everything at first. Ask good questions when you have them because you are not expected to know everything yet as an intern.

Student Nurse / CNA

April 2018 - August 2019 • Largo, FL

What I liked

Flexible scheduling. Wonderful staff to work with

What I wish was different

More CNA on staffing. There were quite a few days where the ratio was 1:20. This makes for a very difficult day and is not safe for the patients that I was helping.

Advice

If your in nursing school (past semester one) this is a great transition into working as an RN. It helped me with my studies as I often saw the patients with the disease processes we were learning. The nurses ofen times would come find me so I could see different procedures being done to help my learning. It was a wonderful experience!

Accounting Intern

June 2018 • Lone Tree, CO

What I liked

Got general experience in an office environment where I had the chance to interact with our controller and CFO daily.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more access to board meetings and conferences which were made daily.

Advice

I would encourage any intern to make daily goals and get them done because 2 months can create a great resume of experiences but also a short time where you inputted data and made copies.
