Bethune-Cookman University

I always had a love for books since I can remeber, working in a library for me felt like I had struck gold. I learned the dewey decimal system, and organized books on shelves daily. I checked out books for students at the circulation desk (concierge). I collected fines from late/lost books. I ordered books and digital media textbooks for students from other universities (inter library loans). I also became intermediate user of word,excel,powerpoint and publisher. I made differt advertisment signs and slide show information tools that taught students and staff how to use certain library resources. I took phone calls and recorded appointments for students who rented study rooms. I also worked in the library's small exhibit as a tour guide. My co workers were amazing and we were like family. My managers became very close to me and taught me lots of clerical skills. The most enjoyable part of the job was helping students/staff finish a project of answering their questions.

In this setting I was responsible for demonstrating patient care during classroom discussions, prepare and deliver lectures to undergraduate students on topics such as fundamentals, med-surge, and nursing strategies. There was an understanding that I had to keep abreast of developments in their field by reading current literature, talking with colleagues, and participating in professional conferences. In addition, I was require to, prepare course materials such as syllabi, homework assignments, handouts, supervise students' laboratory and clinical work, evaluate and grade students' class work, laboratory and clinic work, assignments, and papers.

As a clinical adjunct I provided direct one-on-one clinical instructions with students that are trying to become registered nurses. I am usually assigned between 12 students and spend time in the clinical lab setting or an actual health care facility.

This place has a great atmosphere overall. I like to everyone are essentially cordial. I just wanna say that management needs to do a little bit better on the communication aspect. It seem that Store Manager (SM) and Textbook Manager TBM) really don't understand the aspect of communication. Maybe because the SM is new to the store and is trying to change everything to his own way even though it doesn't make sense.  The TBM has been there for a while, and tries to explain why they do certain things in the store to the SM. But when the SM does his own thing disregarding her advice; she get mad and have an attitude for the majority of the day.  

But like I said, when the store is not under constant pressure it is great place to be in.

Everyday was basically the same, yet different.  Each morning I would send a Good Morning Email to the library staff with some historical information.  I would either catalog new books or work on the inventory of the various collections. 

While employed at Bethune-Cookman I attended many webinars on improving my cataloging skills, learning various classification systems.

I assisted with two co-workers, one who helped with cataloging and another librarian who I assisted with interlibrary loans.

The hardest part of the job was when I had to create catalog records and the information was difficult to find.

The most enjoyable part of my job was seeing the various topic of books we cataloged.

The great Bethune Cookman University is a wonderful place to work.  It is ideal for a beginner's career or for an individual who is set at an identified pace.  I work in one of the most amazing, though draining divisions on campus: Student Development and Academic Integration.  There is absolutely nothing like connecting to these outstanding students and making a difference in their lives throughout their college matriculation.  My work days are often very long, but I love being apart of this administration team because we work hard and we work well! My VP is a task master, yet equally concerned about her employees' TOTAL well-being.  She empowers you to function at your absolute best and highest.   My co-workers are encouraging and they understand the power of team-work.

A typical day at work includes, some of the university students coming to the writing lab seek assistance with work. For instance I assist students with their essays, power points, and math homework. I've learned how to interact with individuals who are close in age with me along with older individuals. I've adapted to the way each individual learns, and what teaching method suits them best. My management is extremely helpful and open when it comes to our school life. My co-workers are all great, and we all have great communication and are extremely close. The most enjoyable part of the job is just coming in to a workplace where everyone can laugh and get along with one another.

A typical day on the job was very busy. I had a lot of tasks thrown my way, which taught me how to multi-task. Management was demanding, yet very understanding and respectful of the employees. My co-workers were friendly and we worked very well together. The hardest part of the job would be time management. Being that there are many tasks to be completed in a day, it is very important to determine what to do when, in order to optimize productivity within the day. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to utilize new media technologies, as well as interacting with and gaining social media support and participation from Bethune-Cookman University sports fans.

Working at B-CU was enjoyable in my office.  Everyone was friendly and worked well together.  However, there were some employees even though were very nice, were not qualified for the job they were in or held a job that was dated and no longer needed.  Also, B-CU tends to stack job titles which gives it a top heavy work force with no real worker bees.  Also the salary is great to start but there is no promise or guarantee to get raises or have any promotional opportunities.  Lastly, the board of trustees has too much influence on the day to day operations which hinders the policy making and training opportunities for the organization to grow. 

I worked there four months, and I can tell you first hand that it was not a good place to work. As a white male working in the security dept, I felt was true racism is like. You either walk or ride around in a golf cart, and you have to listen to disrespectful student yelling obscenities at you through out the day (not for thin skinned people). 

You're constantly micro manage ex through out the day, and if you don't call in something in every 10 minutes, you'll get pulled to the side and spoken to about your activity.

It was a nice working environment. Everyone pretty much has the freedom to work from their own office for much of the day until staff meetings are called. I learned a great deal about football, leadership and the growing trend of transformative leadership, and how to thrive in adversity. Our Head Coach managed us well and made it easy for us to balance work and personal life. The hardest part of the job was inputting the data into our DVSports system for film breakdown. It was very time consuming. The most enjoyable part about this job was the practices and games with the players.
