Re: Medical Transcription
To whom it may concern.
I am in search of a part-time position I can do from home, and not have to worry about child care and still be home for my family. My current position is in the medical profession, I am a Unit Secretary in the Pottstown Memorial Medical Center. I have been a unit secretary for almost 6-7 years. I fully understand the importance of maintaining and running a successful nursing station. I am a liaison with Doctors, Nurses, Management, and other various departments within a hospital. My current shift is 5am to 930 am, part-time in the outpatient pavilion. I open in the moorings for our same day surgeries. My main duties are putting morning charts in order, filling labs, x-rays, physicians orders, anesthia charts, etc. I also enter Dr.s’ orders in to the computer, correspond with o.r. on a regular basis to make sure patients arrive in holding area on time. Before this position I hold currently, I was at one time considered a house-float, the main responsibilities are the same except for maintaining medicine sheets, bed assignments, and more dr. order transcribing. Being in this position I became knowledgeable in most hospital med/surg., critical care unit, labor & delivery, post partum, and their practices, and routines.
Attached are my current employer, education, and personal references.
Thank you for your time. I am looking forward to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Desiree Shank
