I was asked a question on my YouTube channel about what is the hardest thing to learn as a Health Unit Coordinator. I replied with three answers. 1. Learning medical terminology. 2. Learning how to multi-task. 3. Learning how to deal with all of the personalities that are in a hospital. I explain this in the video above.
I also explain in-depth that and more in my two books Steps to Becoming a Medical Secretary and Steps to Becoming a Health Unit Coordinator.
Last week I told you that I had just completed a new booklet titled Steps To Becoming a Health Unit Coordinator. Below I will continue to give you a sneak peek.
This is a follow-up to Steps To Becoming a Medical Secretary - A Step-by-Step Guide to Working in a Hospital.
This is not just another book that lists suggestions. I actually put all of these tips into action – and I share that information with you!
Subjects include:
Awards and Recognition – do you live for the award and recognition that comes with a job well done, or do you go to work, do your job and go home?
Consent Forms – what to make sure is listed on a consent form.
Frustrated at Work? - read my list of things to do to calm yourself down.
Medical Terminology - do you really need to know it?
Telephones/Call Lights - do you let them ring 10 times, or do you grab them promptly?
