Q&A

Health Scholar

May 2020 • Anaheim, CA

What I liked

I really loved that this experience served as a gateway for me into the healthcare field. I was able to learn from nurses, doctors, my fellow Health Scholars, as well as myself on what it is like to be a healthcare worker and potentially making a difference in someone else's life. This internship taught me how to communicate with different people from all walks of life, multitask efficiently, and solidified my passion into wanting to be a healthcare worker in the near future!

What I wish was different

I do wish that I had gotten paid since I work so much, but I value the experience I had received more than anything!

Advice

Have an open heart and mind!

Health Scholar

June - August 2019 • Long Beach, CA

What I liked

I loved the different floors and different experiences I was subjected to

What I wish was different

I wish that it was easier to to set a shift. Because those who were in the 3-month had priority compared the health scholars in 15-month and it was still difficult to find a shift

Advice

If you don't want to be there, then don't go. Because the nurses, doctors, and patients and see and feel that you don't want to be there.

January 2017 - October 2018 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

I loved building connections with many of the patients, getting hands on experience and a broader idea of different healthcare workers. My favorite part of it all was shifting on different floors, comforting and making patients feel comfortable and assisting the nurses.

What I wish was different

Maybe having a larger scope of practice:) but I loved it all regardless.

Advice

Enjoy your time there, build connections and take every learning opportunity that you can!
