Healthcare is a very demanding field. Not only for the nurses and doctors, but for everyone else that work in the field.
There have been plenty of stories of nurses and doctors doing great things. Unfortunately. not much is talked about the people that work "under" them. This blog post is not taking anything away from them, but I want to write and thank the other people who help make for a great healthcare experience when you go to the Hospital. So, just to say it. Thank you to all Nurses and Doctors.
First off, we will start with is custodial. These people work their butts off making sure all the rooms are clean for the next patient. They clean all the floors. The restock the restroom. They clean up blood and vomit and wash away a lot of things people do not know about, prior to their arrival. Thank you to all the custodial workers out there for keeping our Hospitals clean.
Now lets go to a little patient care. The CNA's [Certified Nurses Aid]. I do not know if I could do their job. These men and woman work their butts off. Cleaning up patients, changing patients, sometimes having to be on a one to one with a patient. These people sometimes have a large amount of patients to help take care and breaks are sometimes a luxury to them. To all the CNA's. Thank you for doing a great job in helping in patient care.
Lets go a little to administration side of things. I am not talking about the people who work in the Admin offices, but the unit secretary's that are helping keep charts up to date, answering the phones and overall helping make sure the admin side of the unit they are working on goes smoothly as possible. Thank you to all the unit Secretaries.
But, how to those people usually get registered? Thank you to all the registration people out there who get the people registered quickly as possible to they are in the computer to help get the ball rolling in their care. A lot of times, these are the people getting your co-pay or deposit for they care you were given. Thank you to all the registration people out there.
Lets go back to the Emergency Department. Lets thank all the techs. These people are EMT's and Paramedics. They act like a CNA for the Emergency Department. They are also starting/pulling IV's, helping with CPR a vital component to the smooth running to the Emergency Department. Thank you to all the Emergency Department techs out there.
Security does a vital role as well. Being part of this team, I take pride in helping pride a welcoming atmosphere and helping keeping patients and staff safe. These people, especially in my experience go through a lot of abuse sometimes. I have been kicked, punched, spit on, bit, kneed, ect. Sometimes at the same time! They also help make sure only the people are supposed to be there are in there. I take pride in my work in making sure everyone is safe to the best of my ability.
Now, lets go behind the scenes. Lets thank the Facilities Dept, or sometimes better known, as Maintenance. They keep the Hospital running. Literally. They change out the light bulbs, keep the power plant working, fixing the doors, fixing leaks. Pretty much is something needs fixing, they are called upon to make it happen and they do an awesome job helping keep the Hospital running. They are the people you can thank that make sure you can see OK at night when you are in the parking lots.
We cannot for IST [tech support]. The people who make sure all the computers are running and making sire all the IT things are taken care of. Be it helping you reset your password if you locked yourself out [guilty], to making sure you can get your email. They are the men and woman who keep the IT component running.
There is also another department I think really gets little to no thanks, but without them we would be spending a lot of times finding things. Central Distribution or maybe called the "warehouse". The people help restock gowns, have all the extra supplies the Hospital needs to help give great healthcare. IV pumps to batteries, they got them.
To everyone who works in healthcare medical or not, thank you for doing a great job in your field.
