Perfect! This is definitely on the mark. I'm a US for a stand alone ED, and you've hit it. Dealing with personalities is, I think, one of the biggest and trying to anticipate needs, which feeds into //listening// to everything going down. Every doc is different, every charge nurse is different. You have to be FLEXIBLE.
I agree 110%!!
I work as a HUC in PCU and it’s crazy!! I transitioned from the evening shift to the day shift 7-3 and it’s a different ballgame between the 2 shifts
I am always budding heads with family members of the patients, not because I’m looking for confrontations either, lol!!
But the cool thing about my unit, I get along with all of the nurses and doctors.
I'm a CNA becoming a HUC. Thank you, for this video.
I have my bachelors in health administration so medical terminology was mandatory. It’s been forever so I’m glad they will train you. I have an interview this week for a unit coordinator position working nights
The medical terminology will slowly come back to you. Good luck to you on the job interview! Thanks for watching.
Did you get the job? or did you go to a different field? I know its been long since this post
Thank you for a quick explanation
You're welcome!
Fantastic description! You’re too funny!! 🤣❤️✝️
I agree the dealing with different personalities especially the entertaining part
Today was my first day my head spinning from all the information 😩😭
I promise you, it'll get better.
Hello 👋 I have an interview for a health unit clerk in L&D , I was so nervous to call back and schedule my interview. It's been 4 years since I've worked in a health setting and all my knowledge in terminology flew out the window a long time ago! But nevertheless in excited and I have 3 days to study my old terminology books 😄
It was the same with me. I started in a hospital, but then I left and did a lot of other things in the healthcare field. When I came back to the hospital I went out and bought a medical terminology book too because I had forgotten a lot of things, but once I started working, it all came back to me. It will come back to you too.
Good luck.
Thank you for keeping it real. I've never worked in a hospital. I have been a admin. asst. for many years. Do you suggest going back to school for medical admin.?
Hello Jennifer,
Usually, most hospitals will hire you and train you, but if you were to go back to school I would suggest it be so that they can teach you medical terminology.
With the experience you seem to already have, once you learn medical terminology you'll be all set.
Thanks for watching, commenting and good luck.
Thank you, Great video!

Hi. I'm going to make a video for you. Thanks for watching.
Are you still at this job wanted to know how it went or what you think about it
What’s some of the medical terminology you use on day to day
Hello Cherry,
One of the subscribers, Dulce Ortega, said it best, "Most common in general are. NKDA, STAT, NPO". Check out the video that asked that very question. ruclips.net/video/6q1mFfJ0DFw/видео.html
Thanks for watching!
Is working nights less stressful?
I have never personally worked nights, I've always worked days. I would assume the night shift is less stressful because you're not dealing with a lot of doctors, families or hospital administration, patient going off the floor for tests, phones or call light ringing, a lot of admissions and discharges so yeah it probably is.
But I guess there are some downsides, such as, boredom, quietness lulling you into a false sense of calm (never say quiet in a hospital), and not knowing how to do certain things on your unit because day shifts always handles it (and vice versa).
I think I would only like to work night shift in the Emergency Room because I have to stay busy. Anywhere else, probably not.
Thanks for watching.
@@HospitalSecretary Thanks 🎈
Yes...but the Nursing Office floats you all nite long ,to all the Units to keep you Busy Busy,not just sitting at your desk,with nothing to do, so its alot of running on the nite shift..
Night shift is the clean-up crew. What ever doesn't get done on days or evenings the night shift secretary is responsible for. Plus they still have to do the work their responsible for. Since usually there is a shortage of staff at night, sometimes you have to work multiple units at a time. Those night you pray that the computer system doesn't go down because then you'll have to transcribe physician orders. There are still admissions, transfers and discharges. The call lights never stop because patients still need things at night. There is more to the job then many think. So please don't believe that night shift is just a breeze.
@@TM-mr5zb Wow, that's alot.
There are no more US jobs in Portland since EPIC came online. I was laid off 4 years ago
Hi John. Is EPIC a EHR system?
Yes - it’s the Borg of EHRs. Since it went online there are no jobs.
@@JohnPeterPressonProtopsaltis Yeah I was looking on Indeed and alot if the jobs require EPIC experience, but none of those jobs are for Unit Secretaries. Wow.
@@HospitalSecretary Hospitals around here started laying off or buying out Unit Secretaries 2012-13 after EPIC started subsuming hospital systems. I was kept in a job for the last 3 of my 22 years in a job where a bulk of my duties completely dried up and was scrambling to "add value" to the job, but in the end was towed into an HR office and told that I had the choice to either be laid off or take a buyout. That, and a number of temp med receptionist jobs have kept the home fires burning, but I am afraid at 56 that I am unemployable.
I am amazed that anyone is still employed as a HUC or that NAHUC is still a viable organization.
What are the hours like?
I actually talk about work hours in this recent video ruclips.net/video/NlGjeyZOo0Y/видео.html.
Most shifts are 12 hours longs, though there are still some that are 8 hours. Always remember that a hospital is open 24 hours a day and that they will always need staff.
Thanks for watching.
I don't want to do it.
