Unit Secretary at Cardinal Glennon?

U.S.A. Missouri

Published

I'm a prenursing student, hoping to start next fall (if i'm lucky) or atleast by fall 2013. Ive been job searching lately and cannot get an interview for a PCT position since I don't have my CNA. I planned on taking the CNA class next spring (when I can afford it!) but until then I still need a job. I have an interview at Cardinal Glennon for a Unit Secretary job on 2 South-- what floor is that? I'm not familiar, i've only been to St. Louis Children's but I hear great things about Glennon all the time. The job is for every other weekend, which for me would be perfect because I have 3 little kids and I don't want to pay for daycare! I'm just curious as to if others that work at Glennon would recommend a Unit Secretary Job? I've been a secretary in the past, for a few months on a busy med-surg floor and I didn't enjoy it. The job itself was fine, but the environment was not. The nurses were all extrememly unhappy, never helpful, always acted like I was such a burden because I was new, they had 7-8 patients daily and of course, that was the secretaries fault (?) and the doctors on that floor were terrible to work with, always rude and would yell at anyone and everyone in their path. I questioned going into nursing for a long time after working there because I don't want to end up mean unhappy nurse but nursing is my passion so im hoping a different environment will be better. Any advice is appreciated :) Do you think this would be a good position? Or should I hold off job hunting until I can take the CNA class since that would give me direct patient care experience?
