What I liked
I was hands-on learning about clinical applications for the healthcare. This was an occupational job, therefore there was a lot of paperwork involved but it was all very beneficial. I was able to learn how to draw blood on a patient, take their blood pressure manually, and treat patients individually depending on their injury. I worked at a steel factory, which deals with very hazardous materials and at any point could a catastrophic injury occur. Therefore, the nurse and I were always prepared to respond to an injury, along with treat any injury that came in to the nurse's office. The job was kind of like being in an emergency room, however, not that many patients to deal with. We never knew what was going to come through the doors everyday, but we made sure to be prepared and do everything we can before taking them to an outside medical center.
