Apr 11, 200620 yr

Hi all,

im currently looking for a sumemr job and im applying at many palce

theres a hosptial in my area and they're hiring a porter. I just found the ad for the job today on their website and the position apllication date closes tommorrow so i have to get my act together quick in applying. The website doens't have much info about what it actually entails.

Im a nursign student, am just finishing my first year, and i thinbk i want soem expereicne in a hospital. I don't really want to work as an NA or PCA, but i don't really know what this job entails.

If anyone could give me a betetr idea of what it might involve, or have been one in the past....that'd be great if you could help.

You need to check specifics with the hospital. It can mean transferring patients for x-ray, etc. Similar to a transportation aide, or it can be delivering items to a unit.

Suggest that you get specifics on it.

A porter in the US is someone that delivers luggage to your hotel room, or takes your luggage to your car, etc....................this is the routine meaning here.
