Registered Practical Nurse (Former Employee) – Guelph, ON – 1 May 2017
I worked in various areas of the hospital namely the surgical unit and last 7 years in the ER department., This last position was both physically fast paced but very rewarding. The staff that work in this unit are amazing, always putting the needs of the patient ahead of everything else. The medical staff are readily accessible and always professional. There is a good bend of NP, RN's, RPN's, ward clerks, unit attendants and housekeeping staff.
There are always opportunities for staff education which is highly encouraged.
