Jessica Griggs - HR internship

 

This is my final week of my internship here at the hospital.  I have learned so much in such a short amount of time!  I have put the finishing touches on my paper and have given a copy of it to both the HR Director as well as the CEO.  Hopefully my suggestions for improvement of hiring new nurses will be implemented soon.  I actually already know one nurse supervisor has used my interview on a nurse applicant!  That gives me hope.  I hope that all the work I have done here helps the hospital to reduce costs, reduce turnover, and hire a more competent nursing staff.  

 

This week I have worked on tying up loose ends here at the hospital.  The majority of my numerous projects have been completed and I feel more appreciated than ever.  I have gathered the things I need to complete my practicum at school.  I wrote up a critique of my experience here at the hospital, but have found that I have enjoyed the majority of the tasks I have done here and have done most of them quite well.  

 

My experiences have been extremely rewarding and now I am quite sure the Human Resources is the right tract for me.  I thoroughly enjoy the chaotic pace of HR as well as the abundance of things to do.  I now know that, once employed in this field, I will never be bored for lack of things to do!  There are always many many projects that can be worked on and many people that will always need your help.

 

I have learned so much and I hope that those of you following my postings have learned a bit from my experiences as well!  Enjoy the rest of your summer!
