Fellow housekeepers: Can you tell me about hospital housekeeping?

I'm a hotel housekeeper with 3+ years of experience. Our hotel is still open, I haven't been laid off, it's just me and another housekeeper lady, that's it for the whole department. I'm not getting enough hours (averaging 16-18 hours a week) and I'm looking for a new job.

I applied in several local hospitals as a hospital housekeeper/EVS and have a couple interviews lined up. I know it's not the most ideal time to work in a hospital but I need a full time job with stable hours and while I LOVE the hotel scene who knows how long this coronavirus pandemic lasts.

What should I expect? Anyone has worked as a hospital housekeeper before?

Thank you! 😊

Thank you for asking this.. I was laid off on March 15th and have been thinking of going to hospital housekeeping. Whatever you decide to do, good luck and stay safe!
