Reimbursement Intern

June - August 2019 • Milwaukee, WI

What I liked

The culture was very comfortable. They are not super conservative but also get down to business. They show a lot of team member appreciation. They took a lot of their valuable time to coach me adequately to succeed in my projects.

What I wish was different

Nothing

Advice

Always be on time. Show a desire to learn. And dress for the part. Simply make sure to make a great impression.

Cardiac speciality

Faster paced floor

Advice

Apply for nurse externships. It’s nice to practice nursing with a company vs through the school as a student

Database Administration Intern

January - May 2019 • Milwaukee, WI

What I liked

I liked networking and working with the coworkers that I had for that short time. I also enjoyed learning more about the Bariatric Program at Aurora.

What I wish was different

I wish that I could've had a little more time there and a couple of more responsibilities while I was there. I did a database project but I wish I could've been more hands on with other projects to add more to my resume.

Advice

Even though the job deals with database input and information, just know that what you are doing is important and they use your work for something meaningful for all of the patients in the Bariatric Unit.

Certified Nursing Assistant

May 2019 • Milwaukee, WI

What I liked

I loved how Advocate Aurora gave me the opportunity to obtain my Certified Nursing Assistant license while a hired, paid, team member. I was a salaried employee and took my class with other employees exclusively. It was a great opportunity to learn and network across all of the metro-Milwaukee area Advocate Aurora hospitals.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was more clarity on my position post-certification. The relationship with the recruiters at Advocate Aurora is more distant than I can see beneficial. If I would have been given the opportunity to express my interests more frequently, I believe I would have been better placed.

Advice

To any pre-health student - getting your Certified Nursing Assistant license has been the best patient contact experience I have been able to get. Being able to learn as an Advocate Aurora team member improved my overall experience as an employee for this company.

Social Media Intern

August - November 2018 • Downers Grove, IL

What I liked

They were very accommodating to my schedule and I was able to work on/get insight on many different aspects of the Public Affairs department.

What I wish was different

I wish it had been paid, but they said they were trying to implement paid internships in the future.

Advice

Prepare to be flexible- every day is a little different depending on what promotions/campaigns are running and you won't know exactly what you're doing each day until you're doing it.
