Concordia Hospital

Hello

Concordia Hospital, the Emergency Room (ER) and the Elderly Residence were all part of the same security contract.  A typical day at work was scheduling, planning, improving security and service around the site.  Meeting with the hospital board members and ensuring all contract obligations were met as well as any small things we could do to make it more pleasant for the patients.  I learned a lot about people and gained people skills.  When people are ill or aged they love to chat and say hello and these conversations were valuable to me.  The hardest part of this job was finding candidates to take it seriously.  The pay was low and the position was demanding and maintaining staff and professionalism was a challenge.  The most enjoyable part was meeting the patients and making short little relationships and perhaps helping another person have a little better day.

I am new to Medicine as of December 2012. After working in surgery for the past 3 years it has given me a great foundation to work in this new environment. I really enjoy it. Its fast paced but we all work as a team. A typical day includes six patients on a day shift and up to twelve on a night shift. The key is time management. Most days we can keep up but there are some days that the acuity of the patient or the turn over of admissions and discharges can be overwhelming, even for a seasoned nurse. But I love it! The hardest part of my job is working with our palliative patients and their families. I don't think that ever gets easier, nor should it. Our demographic that we typically see is the older population. This is the most enjoyable part of my job. I enjoy getting to be a part of their lives even for a short while, while we care for them.

My days at work are exceptionally busy.  Which I have thoroughly enjoyed, the days quite literally fly by.  At the end of the day, I have a feeling of satisfaction, knowing that I have helped some people come into the hospital and they leave feeling much better. And my job is to do all the paper work, not the actual treatment.

The hardest part of the job - is trying to keep ahead of all of the paper work that is required.

I have always enjoyed working with the public and I have had patients come back for another treatment perhaps two years after the last one, and they remember me, and tell me they are happy to see me still there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers are amazing and management is also very great. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not stressful at all. For my position in the company.  Maybe ordered items taking a little long but that’s about it

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fixing the medical beds and installing various things around the hospital
