I just started a cleaning job at a nursing home, and I am so proud to be a janitor. It might be grunt work to some people. To me, I make these people's lives safer, cleaner, happier, and more comfortable. I get to spend every day helping people for the rest of their lives and I love having this opportunity.

Just think for a brief moment how important housekeeping and nutrition workers are for a medical facility. God Bless all of you. Thank you !

My God... They are unsung heroes.

Housekeeping in healthcare is soo much work and plus they need way much more Credit,Respect and they are dealing with alot of infections..they are preventing it from spreading it to the next patient especially isolation rooms!! one mistake itself over it’s a tuff job. i left because it was a toxic environment i am now a nurse!

Hi, what you did to become a nurse after working as housekeeping in healthcare?

If these housekeeper clean up needle eye size blood they deserve a big bonus.... they look very happy on cameras if this is how you guys are on the job, I want to work with you.....😃. Your smile is contagious...

Godismercyful2012 no you’re supposed to call the nurse in if they leave out sharps. Everything like that is to be removed before we go in.

So needed at the hospital, bless them for doing what they do!!!

@Dragonfruit hey I have since quit the for profit hospital I worked at when they outsourced us. I gave it a try but could no longer pay the bills. Our medical was cut and they did not even tell us. We got a preventive plan that looks like a real plan but leaves you paying the same as if you were not insured. If you work for a non profit please find a new job where your talents for hard work will be appreciated and not just given lip service.

We all love the boss. The boss cares a lot. They take their job seriously and so do we. I don’t understand why my family asked me why I couldn’t do better? Just try to see if you can do that. I was young. It is nice to meet and help others with loneliness. My social skills got better. It’s not perfect. We are human beings.

I too am a housekeeper in a hospital myself it’s a serious job

As EVES Techs, we are trained to conduct blood clean ups with the proper and mandatory PPE. Depending upon the hospital, protocols and where I am task assigned, we do have such protocol required to conduct proper cleaning, disinfecting and sanitation. EVS Techs in the hospital where I am employed are certified technicians as many EVS Techs are, dependent upon where the EVS Tech is assigned. Notably, in my line of EVS, I complete OR cleans in C Section rooms where blood clean ups are mandatory and necessary in my functionality role. Hope this helps.

They pay very little for such an essential hard and risky job. $27k on average.

How to apply in this Job.?

hi im new here and i just wanted to ask does any one have to use a buffer at there job?

Iam currently doing training for evs and I thought about getting a job working in the hospital but not sure if I want to do that I’m sure the stress level is high and making sure you disinfect everything to keep everyone from getting sick if not done the proper way

The family members are always complaining and very rude to me no matter what I do

What type of pants are best suited for this kind of work? I will be required to wear black (no denim allowed); however, I do heat up and sweat quickly so I am hoping for something flexible and comfortable.

@scp049hasbreachedcontianme9

4 жыл бұрын

Something 90+% cotton is what I would recommend, I will point out that I don't work in healthcare yet, but I do a lot of sewing and costuming. Natural fibers absorb sweat rather than letting it sit on the skin, they are a lot more breathable than synthetic fibers, and are generally very comfortable to wear given it's at least half-decent quality. It also is easily dyed and comes in practically every color imaginable, so black should be easy quite to get a hold of. Plus cotton is usually inexpensive and easy to come by in any form of garment. If you're looking for something that has a bit of stretch in the fabric, a 95+% cotton 5-% nylon/spandex is decently easy to get and provides a good amount of stretch. I also recommend something that is well fitted (not necessarily close fitted, just something that sits on your body comfortably and well), which should also take care of the flexibility issue as well, even if the fabric itself doesn't have any stretch. Far as any more specifics on what would be recommended/required in other bits of functionality, I would ask that of your higher ups, or the interviewer if you are interviewing for that kind of work. Hope this helps!

Well I do not have any issues at my job they don't talk about me. Even if they did I do not care I'm there to make my money, and to make the hospital safe. 💯 Stop worrying about who is talking about you that shouldn't even matter. Just be to yourself mind your business, do not be friends with people at your job. At the end of the day you are there to work not looking for friends. They not going to pay your bills just stay to yourself and you do not have to worry about that. P.S EVS is not toxic at all it is what you make out of it. If you THINK EVS is toxic then you'll always go to work with that negatively. You say EVS is toxic but, maybe you are the one causing issues. My boss told me the reason why he got upset because the EVS refused to do their work. All they do is complain and complain. So yes it can be toxic if you do not do your work. If EVS is toxic why don't you quit and just find another job ???
