"Careers that count" has been !
selected as the theme for the
current National Hospital ob
servance, sponsored annually by
the American Hospital associa
tion, according to Mrs. George
W. Pitts, president of Rogue
Valley Memorial Hospital auxiliary.
Displays showing some of the
career opportunities in the hos
pital field will be shown at the
tea on Tuesday, May 14, from
2 to 4 p.m. in the hospital penthouse.
Statistics show that total hos
pital personnel in the nation in
creased 57 per cent in the past
10 years, while the number of
hospital beds rose only 12 per
cent, Mrs. Pitts says. A person
nel shortage exists today in
spite of great increases in both
payroll and the number of em
ployees, she stated.
This condition resulted from
expansion of hospital services,
plus the fact that more inten
sive care is required for patients
who now spend much shorter
periods in the hospital than the
same illnesses required a few
years ago, Mrs. Pitts added.
Miss B. J. Larsen, adminis
trator of the local hospital, states
that about 200 job clossifica-
tions exist in the largest hos
pitals. Even the smallest hos
pitals however, must maintain
most of the services found in the
larger ones.
Rogue Valley Memorial hos
pital currently employs about
95 persons to operate facilities
for patients occupying the 55
beds. These include the nurses.
aides and orderlies which first
i come to mind when one thinks
of a hospital staff, but the list
also includes X-ray and labora
tory technicians, pharmacist,
radio-isotope technician, and an
esthetist.
A dietitian, cook, and tray
girls are all required to operate
the hospital, as are administra
tive personnel, bookkeepers,
clerks, switchboard operators,
secretaries, supply clerk, and
laundry workers. Medical record
librarians are- essential to the
staff, Miss Larsen adds, as are
the building engineer, janitors
and housekeeping personnel,
seamstress and many other em
ployees.
Special training is required
for marry of these jobs, varying
in length of time from a few
months to several years. Anyone
working in the hospital must be
trained in the use of " medical
terms a job complicated by the
fact that some items of supply
are known by several different
names.
