The work
You take transport calls, move patients safely, and clean and stock rooms as you go through the building. A slow transport can back up imaging, a procedure, or a discharge that a family is waiting on.
You are on your feet for most of the shift, often pushing a bed or a wheelchair. Safe lifting and a calm voice matter as much as speed does.
