What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Preventative maintenance takes up a good portion of every day together with learning and planning. Corrective maintenance is also usually part of every day, but it is something that we constantly strive to minimize.

At the hospital. I develop strong skills and fantastic leadership, I Iove how we Health Care Providers shared the love and compassion for the patients in the moment of needs. Also if I have any questions, all of them were more than happy to help and guide. I am hoping to have the opportunity to work in that magnificent environment, where I can show my passion for caring and nurse.
In each floor that I had my clinical is a different experience and approach to clients. My favorite floor was Surgery floor it was fantastic experiences, giving me the opportunity to add new skills to my knowledge.

I had a wonderful learning experience while working at Chatham Kent Health Alliance. I did my clinical placements over 3 years and learned a little about their culture. The co-workers were very helpful and were a reliable resource for any questions or concerns that I had. The hardest part was being comfortable about asking for help. The most enjoyable part was the patients and interacting with them on a day to day basis and seeing improvements to their unique situations.

Working in the hospital on a medical unit was very fun. There was always new patients. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I learned how to time manage and accurately keep records of each patients day and activities. The hardest part of this job was family support when the patient was palliative. 
The best part of this job was being a helpful part of a patients day and seeing progress daily.

I learned SO much here in the 2 months I did my biomed internship. It was volunteer so I can't say anything about what their pay is, but I had the best time there. I met so many wonderful people who were happy to teach me the processes and they all exposed me to as much as they possibly could in this field. I would recommend anyone to do their internships here if you can!

I was required to do a variety of tasks relating to the upkeep of the hospital. This job was completely independent I had to make up my own schedule and manage my time efficiently. My second year working there I trained employee on various different things such as time management, making it to do list for the day and ensuring that everything was crossed off of it by the end.

Employees are not treated equally or fairly. If you do not know anyone and just honestly working your job, be ready to be treated like just another tool in the shed at their disposal. They want you to be compassionate to the patients but don't expect the same compassion to be given to you when you go through something like a death of a loved one or a loss of a child.

First time working in clinical setting as RN, staff there welcomed me with open arms, willing to train and educate a new RN with no questions asked. Everyone is positive, upbeat, willing to help when needed. Multidisciplinary team is amazing as well! Well run hopsital, was dissapointed to leave due to illness. Would not hesitate to apply again and be part of the CKHA team!

I absolutely loved working at CKHA. I was sad to leave which I did because of the travel time. Everyone in the hospital were friendly and helpful. And I can not say enough positive things regarding co-workers and management from my department they were all wonderful. I was very sad to leave this hospital.
