At the time i graduated from TSU there was nothing in my field that i had studied for but Daycare centers & Fast food restaurants. My bills had to b paid & so i applied for jobs in both industries.I worked for OTLK Nash. where i was an Infant Teacher Creepers & Crawlers & i worked at The Ole Spaghetti Factory as a Prep person & a line cook. I love both jobs. They were totally different & i met a lot of wonderful people.My job & OTLK Nash. the babies were so different where there were infants w/& without disabilities.This was the first time i've worked with this population of children & it was a great learning experience. There were infants w/ Down Syndrome, We had a child that was on a heart monitor, where that was chaos but organize chaos. That machine seems to have gone off every Read more 30-45min. & with that we had different people coming to the room to make sure that the infant was ok b/c everyone assumed that the child stop breathing but it was a glitch in the machine.There was a child that had a feeding tube, where the infant had to b bolus fed using a syringe. We also had an infant that was hydrocephalus, and had to have a shunt put in their head.. Truly it was a learning experience. As far as working at the ole spaghetti factory u wouldn't realize that so many people love spaghetti as much as we served. I made clam sauce, i rolled trays & trays of meatballs , i made the blue cheese dressing using the molded cheese that had a awful smell but was a delicious dressing. i prep the salad, cutting & shredding, the carrots, purple cabbage, and I made gallons & gallons of tea. When it was time to open i worked the line, either making the plates of cooking the tenderloins. i'm sure with the time i spent @ both jobs i could go back to both.
