Nutrition services technician

June 2018 • Grand Rapids, MI

What I liked

I loved working with people and meeting new people. It is great to invest into their lives and give them recognition by serving them and remembering their names because it matters to them even though it is a hospital where patients are going through so much.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more fairness in treating the employees just because some people work very hard but others dont and there is a lot of favoritism.

Advice

I think it would be very helpful to go into this with a mindset of serving no matter what your job position is. It is a very fast paced job and there is no time to chill. Three hours fly by. Therefore, making the most of it and lastly, getting to know the nurses and other employees. It helps.
