Does anyone have an idea what an ECU Coordinator is? Is it even a part of the nursing field? I'm just curious. I'm an RN (a beginner in the field) and I've been offered this position at a hospital I applied to. They only gave a rough description about it, but I'm not too sure whether taking this position would count as a nursing experience. Thank you!

Sure thing. :) Maybe i'll know what it really is once i take the job. ahaha. :)) Well, the HR officer told me I would be handling 'healthy/recovering clients' who'd like to see how they're health is, or to evaluate the effectiveness a treatment plan (lifestyle modification, diet plan, etc.). Well, I just hope it's something i'll enjoy doing just as much as i enjoy being a ward nurse.

Specializes in Peds/Neo CCT,Flight, ER, Hem/Onc.

At my hospital the executive medicine department caters to area business leaders and hospital VIP's offering them concierge style health maintenance (check ups and such) as well as coordinating visits to specialists that allow them to avoid waiting in the waiting rooms with "the great unwashed" (ie. all us regular folks). They are personally escorted to MD visits as well as ancillary departments such as lab and x-ray. If a long day is planned they are given a catered meal (as long as they are not NPO) and may be put up in a hotel suite if needed. I don't know if I could actually kiss that much butt for an entire day.

You were actually right about an ECU Coordinator. I took the position and worked for 2 1/2 years at Cardinal Santos Medical Center. :) It was such an experience. It taught me how to be efficient and detail-oriented, as I have to give the best possible service to all our 'VIPs.' I can tell you, this wasn't easy. Some clients were such a pain in the butt, but nonetheless, the whole experience was worth it. Sorry, I just read this thread after a loooooong while and I thought of replying back to your post.

Thank you!

Executive Wellness Associate/ECU Coordinator signing out. PEACE! :)

If you would share the job description that they gave you, perhaps someone could help read between the lines?
