@OP I worked a hospital tray line last year — get solid slip-resistant shoes and learn the “tray line” diet codes early; it turns the lunch rush from chaos into routine and saves your back (and soup)… Only caveat: hospitals sometimes swing you between patient meals and retail, so ask about weekend rotation and which shifts you’ll get.
