What to expect as a Tech?
Mid-20's male here. Recently got offered a Nursing Assistant 1 position at Orlando Health in a Med-Surge unit and I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity. Accepted it with no hesitation since I've been applying for about a month to different NA 1 positions with constant rejections till the offer came through. Currently wrapping up onboarding and starting next month.
Given my background of no healthcare experience but plenty of customer service experience from retail & real estate, along with some gig work involving trash for a few months, I would like to say I'm capable of working with people and doing dirty work whenever needed.
From what I've seen, healthcare can make or break a person, and yet I still feel like I can be an effective Nurse in the years to come once I start college again and graduate with a BSN (Positive thinking) As a Nursing Assistant/Tech, what should I expect and how can I best prepare for the position apart from what I've seen online?
Any insight is appreciated, thank you.
