Hello everyone, I just got a job as a ward clerk in the medical surgical unit at a nearby hospital. The scary part is that I have no experience being a ward clerk, nor any experience working in the hospital. I wanted the position because I just got my AA in pre-health and I'm getting into the BSN program in the fall. I wanted to see what's ahead of me. What is the job description of a ward clerk? I know we answer phones and read the doctors orders. What would you say is the hardest part of this job? I'm curious as to what I should look forward to. Any comments about this position would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
