看助予

Japanese to English Medical Medical (general) Hospital admin
This is a job title in a hospital. Presumably 看助 is 看護助手, but what is 予? Senior?

Steven Smith (asker) Jun 22, 2012:
A bit more context: This is from a patient's hospital records. There is a series of progress notes, each of which includes the name and role of the person creating the note. Most of these are straightforward: 医師, 看護師 etc.

nurse's aide/Assistant in Nursing (scheduled to start working)

It is just a guess.  Probably 看助 means 看護助手 as Steven thinks. And Perhaps 予in question means '予定'.  '卒業予定’and '退職予定’appears on resume.

If the context is a patient's hospital records, I can imagine (担当)予定、(配置)予定.

Peer comment(s):

agree Harry Oikawa : I think 予 is 予定 and not for 予備 nor 准. Better to consult with client.

Additional nursing assistant personnel

"予備"(reserve, backup)のでは?

More of a guess, though.

Student Nursing Assistant

Just a guess. MariyaN's suggestion occurred to me as well, but this could also be 予備 in the sense of 准, i.e. someone preparing to be a nurse (assistant). Students will often do this type of work to get experience in hospitals.

Is there any context that you can provide? For example, if this was publicly available information (posted in plain sight), I would be more likely to go with MariyaN's suggestion since you don't need to be telling patients that their NA is still a student.
