Operating Room Materials Coordinator

March 2015 • Wichita, KS

What I liked

I love everything about my job. I liked that the courses I took at WSU directly related to my job and I was able to improve existing skills and learn new ones through working and going to school.

What I wish was different

I wish more 8 week summer courses were offered staggered throughout the summer.

Advice

Work while you’re in school. In a relevant field. It’s difficult, but even just a part time job or volunteering regularly will help you more than you think.

What I liked

I love my manager and the team I get to be a part of. I am learning so many valuable things to help me in my future career!

What I wish was different

The actual processing of starting the job was a little slow. I think it would be beneficial to speed the process up a little bit.

You have to stick with this job. In health care there and good and bad days. The good outweigh the bad and it is SO worth it in the end!

Sr Technical Analyst

What I liked

I was able to do an internship at my employer instead of having to take time off from my duties.

What I wish was different

Nothing

Most internships are not typically paid, but since I was lucky enough to have a director that believed in the value of a college education, I was allowed to perform duties to complete my internship without any pay penalties!

Administrative Intern

April 2020 • Idaho Falls, ID

What I liked

I honestly believe this internship is an unparalleled opportunity for individuals interested in becoming healthcare leaders. The exposure, trust, and responsibility that was given to each of the interns was incredible. We had access to most areas of the hospital, meaningful projects, scheduled training events, and the ability to shadow/interview any part of the hospital. If you are pursuing a career in healthcare management, you wont find a better undergraduate experience anywhere!

What I wish was different

Advice

You gain from this internship what you put in. Over promise and underdeliver, look for additional ways to help outside of your assigned responsibilities, show your gratitude, and ask lots of questions!
