KMC Hospital

Research Associate

May 2018 • Bakersfield, CA

What I liked

Dealing with patients on a day to day basis. Being able to do research in the Emergency room of a level 2 trauma center. Getting hands on experience with doing IV lines/chest compression etc.

What I wish was different

I wish I put in more hours when I had more free time during the summer. I still hold the position at the hospital, but now that school has resumed, I find it harder to go in and shadow/do my research. Take advantage of the free time when you have it!

Advice

The best advice I could give would be to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way! I was hesitant at first to apply for the job, I had many doubts that I was not qualified or did not have the time etc. I am so grateful I did because it has given me so much valuable experience for the professional world that I will be entering soon, and has given me so many exciting memories that have been valuable to my development as a person. When opportunity comes knocking, always let it in!
