Pros
The staff was very friendly! I enjoyed working with everyone.
Cons
The patient schedule was opened for the full day, despite being told that I would have no more than 4 patients on Saturday and 6 patients on Sunday. Outpatients were scheduled from 7:30 am- 6:30pm, while also having inpatients. There is no additional staff on the weekend, no second tech or a nurse. It made it very difficult to stay on time with all of the patients.
