Fairview Health Services

Patient Services Coordinator

May 2019 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

I loved working closely with the PTs in my clinic as well as seeing reoccurring patient's faces. The ability to create relationships with so many different people was endless.

What I wish was different

I worked as a float staff which required me to change locations everyday, some clinics were slower due to less PTs. Though I loved floating I wish I was consistently at a clinic with more PTs, therefore see more patient in a day.

Advice

Take everyday as a an opportunity to learn something new. You never know when you're going to need something that may be considered a small detail in one instance but be crucial for another.

Application analyst/developer

May - September 2018 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

Stress free

What I wish was different

More engagement with relevant field. Found it irrelevant to my studies and long term ambitions.

Advice

Don't do it unless you have your own side projects. Healthcare IT is client side only, so useless in grand scheme for me. No development, only maintenance.

Nurse Intern

May - August 2018 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

I learned so much about what nurses actually do in the hospital setting. I learned how to insert a peripheral IV. Everything was great!

What I wish was different

Nothing

Advice

It's easy to get into the swing of things and not push yourself to learn, but learn everything you can! 10 weeks is a short amount of time and it goes by fast.

Summer Student Nurse Intern

June - August 2018 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

Absoloutely loved my experience! I worked on a behavioral health unit and learned a lot about communicating with patients, co workers, and doctors. My nurse preceptor was great! My schedule was flexible!

What I wish was different

I had a great experience. I had on off unit in the NICU, would have been interesting to shadow in some other areas of the hospital too.

Advice

Go out and look for summer nurse internships! There a quite a few out there! Helped me become more confident in my skills as well as just the nursing profession overall!
