The Work

CLS - O'Connor Hospital, San Jose, CA

3/5 night shift position coming up that includes full benefits

3/5 are difficult to come by – and it gives the CLS an opportunity to pick up additional hours if they are interested or to stick to just 3 days/week if they are not looking for additional work – and also to enjoy full-time benefits. 

O’Connor is a perfect place to work after graduation because we’re big enough that they will still see lots of interesting patients and tests, but small enough that a CLS can be a generalist and continue practicing all the newly learned skills and knowledge.  Night shift also offers extended opportunities for students to stretch themselves as they get to work and think independently, and yet they still have someone else to ask questions of if needed. 

Please  contact me if you are interested.
