I loved the work personally because it was very interactive with the patients. I also enjoyed some of the people who worked there, because they were very willing to help answer questions
What I wish was different
I revived nowhere near enough training to do what I was doing. Someone honestly could have gotten hurt because of how uncomfortable I was working by myself before I had been trained enough to do so.
Advice
possibly take a CNA class before your first job working with patients in a hospital. It’s not necessary, especially when you decide to work for a well respected hospital, but the training will make you feel a bit more comfortable.
