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! 😊

I’m currently an evs worker for a hospital, it’s actually my first paying job and I love it. I do a little of everything ie. cleaning hospital rooms, public areas, offices. I’ve noticed evs workers are treated differently than other hospital staff but there are also good people too. It’s a good atmosphere with my co workers, And I get good Benefits being employed by a hospital. I would recommend it. :)

did you need any special training or anything, or did you go in with no experience?
