It was a paid position that allowed me to obtain clinical experience in a healthcare setting.
What I wish was different
I wish the pay was higher for the acuity of the work required of the employees.
Advice
Take the time to obtain experience in the field you're heading into. The amount of insight you obtain on the profession you're heading towards is vital in making your future plans. That single experience can confirm or completely change what you had planned for your future, so I really do recommend taking the time.

The hands on experience and first glimpse into the medical field. I’ve learned a lot about how to properly manage a patients care and the best skills to make sure they are well taken care of.

I would’ve liked more hours and a wider range or patients from various backgrounds
Advice
Don’t take your first job opportunity for granted. Be present and learn as much as you possibly can because it really is the first steps into your future.

What I liked
It is a job in my field that I can use to eventually obtain a job in the hospital setting after graduation
What I wish was different
I wish I could keep more permanent hours into the school year
Advice
I think working as much as possible over the summer is a great way to save money for the school year when you can't work as much. I think taking at least a week over the summer to enjoy yourself if you plan on working during the school year is important too.
