Nardos Osterhart, Director of Inpatient Nursing and Administration at Blodgett Hospital,  said nurse technicians are typically seen in the hospitals, but Spectrum Health has recently expanded to offer career opportunities in their medical offices as well.

Osterhart said inpatient nurse technicians work onsite at Blodgett, Butterworth, Helen DeVos Children’s Hospitals and West Michigan regional hospital locations.  She said a day in the life includes partnering with collaborative teams across many specialties such as cardiology, women’s health and emergency medicine.
