Unit Coordinator Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I just finish a short course as a Health Unit Coordinator. I have applied for over 50+ jobs. The jobs are requesting at least1 yr experience. What should I do and where can I apply? The school stated that they would be of support. But as usual the school lied and since we were the 1st pilot class we are actually their trophies. I have apllied at several hospitals. I also took a class in EKG. Please any suggestions.

I want to get a Health Unit Coordinator certificate, I've taken most of the classes required at my college- medical terminology, legal aspects, computer applications, keyboarding, and English, Speech, Psychology, and Business Math which are required. I only need to do an Internship. I've read job descriptions requiring knowledge of ICD9 coding and transcription. Are these important? What classes or skills would you recommend for this position? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

An older friend of mine who recently injured her neck wants me to be her home health aide. It is a job that is through the county. I was wondering if there are certain stipulations for qualifying for the position like taking certain classes. I finished taking classes for a health unit coordinator program and got my degree. I also know that they require a background check and drug testing. My record is clean so the background check does not concern me. I am very close to this person because she was there for me when my family wasn't. The main reason why I want the job is to spend more time with her bacause this person means the world to me. Do you think I'll be able to get this job?

I have graduated from college one year ago as a Health Unit Coordinator. I have been looking for a job ever since. I recently decided to volunteer at my local hospital to get my foot in the door. The hospital has emailed me to answer the following question "What type of experience do you hope to have volunteering at this hospital?" The only thing I am able to come up with is "I hope to gain more experience in a hospital setting and expand my personal and Professional networks." Do you think that is good? Is there some other ideas that I can tell them?

I am looking to get into psychology but I don't want to go to graduate school. People have scared me away and said the competition for clinical psychologists is fierce in the US. I'd like to put in 4 years or so. I'd be happy with being a mental health aid. What kind of jobs can you get with a bachelors?
