Secretary Class in Animal Hospital — Sanity Per Check-In, Worth 120 Coins?
A steady-drip class that rewards actually doing the front-desk job. In a team where you own check-in duty, it quietly out-sustains flashier picks.
Secretary class — quick reference
| Cost | 120 Animal Coins |
|---|---|
| Starting sanity | 61% base; +5 at Lv.2, +10 at Lv.3 |
| Starter cash | $20 |
| Extra | +1 sanity per patient checked in |
What buying the Secretary actually changes
Every class is measured against the same starting point. With no class bought, you begin a shift on 61% sanity, with $0 and a 3 slots backpack. Here is what the Secretary moves:
| Stat | Default (no class) | Secretary |
|---|---|---|
| Starting sanity | 61% | 61% base; +5 at Lv.2, +10 at Lv.3 |
| Starter cash | $0 | $20 |
| Everything else | 3 slots, no starting gear | +1 sanity per patient checked in |
Secretary levels 1–3 — what each one unlocks
- Lv.1
Recover 1 sanity every time you check in a patient.
- Lv.2
Check-in sanity plus a +5 starting-sanity bonus.
- Lv.3
Check-in sanity plus a +10 starting-sanity bonus.
Documented leveling thresholds: 200 EXP to level 2, 850 EXP to level 3 (verified on the Security and Surgeon wiki pages; Robux level-skips exist at 199/399, or 180/360 with Roblox Plus).
How the Animal Hospital Secretary class actually plays
The Secretary converts routine work into survivability: every patient you check in returns 1 sanity. Across a long shift with a steady patient flow, that's a meaningful stream — and unlike coffee, it doesn't cost anything or occupy a backpack slot.
The $20 starter cash is the sleeper perk. Early money buys an important item or upgrade before the shift economy gets going; by late shift everyone is flush, but a head start in the first minutes is when it counts. If you tend to camp the front desk in team runs anyway, this class pays you for the role you were already playing.
Key perk at a glance: +1 sanity per patient checked in.
What the Secretary costs, next to everything else
At 120 Animal Coins it is the third-cheapest of the 9 classes bought with Animal Coins. That puts it 100 more than the Nurse and 130 less than the Paramedic.
| Class | Price | What it buys you |
|---|---|---|
| 🎓 Intern | Free (default) | Only class with color variants (green, blue, pink) |
| 🎒 Nurse | 20 Animal Coins | 4 / 5 / 6 backpack slots by level (default 3) |
| 📋 Secretary ← this page | 120 Animal Coins | +1 sanity per patient checked in |
| 🥤 Paramedic | 250 Animal Coins | Large Run Cola: 6 → 9 uses; Lv.3 regenerates 1 use per round |
| 🧠 Psychologist | 500 Animal Coins | Lv.2: 7.5% chance to ignore sanity loss · Lv.3: 15% |
| 💊 Doctor | 900 Animal Coins | +1 sanity per patient healed |
| 🧯 Firefighter | 1,100 Animal Coins | Special Fire Extinguisher (auto-recharges, no Charging Station needed) + 1 extra slot |
| ⚡ Security | 1,250 Animal Coins | X-Taser from Lv.1 · Deployable Camera from Lv.2 |
| 🩺 Surgeon | 2,500 Animal Coins | Sanity + speed boost after every heal |
Animal Coins and Robux are separate ladders — there is no published exchange rate between grinding coins and buying Robux, so the two tracks are not directly comparable.
If you're weighing the Secretary against something similar
These are the classes nearest to it in price on the Animal Coins track — the ones you are realistically choosing between rather than saving up for:
- 🎒 Nurse — 20 Animal Coins
The value pick for treatment-focused players. Twenty coins is pocket change, and doubling your backpack at level 3 means far fewer supply runs mid-shift.
- 🥤 Paramedic — 250 Animal Coins
The mobility pick. Speed is the most flexible stat in the game — it makes events easier, hallway runs shorter, and escapes survivable.
- 🧠 Psychologist — 500 Animal Coins
High risk, high reward — the strongest sanity economy in the game for players who don't make mistakes, and the most punishing one for players who do.
Where to buy the Secretary, and how levelling works
Classes are bought at the class shop in the lobby — the yellow circle on the left-hand side, beside the ambulance. The Secretary is priced in Animal Coins, which you earn by playing — no Robux needed.
Levelling arrived with the Class Update Part 1 on 19 June 2026, which is also what added the Sanity / Utility / Starter Money stat lines you see on the shop card; Part 2 followed on 26 June and added cosmetic skins, bought separately with Animal Coins and with no effect on the numbers above. Levels run 1 to 3 and cost EXP earned from playing the class.
Which stat the Secretary is really buying you
That same June update sorted every class under three headings — Sanity, Utility and Starter Money. The Secretary counts under Sanity, and only that one — which is worth knowing before you spend, because a class that boosts nothing else will feel narrow if that stat is not your problem.
Sanity — classes that start you higher, or claw sanity back as you work
Alongside the Secretary, this group holds Intern (Free (default)), Psychologist (500 Animal Coins), Doctor (900 Animal Coins) and Surgeon (2,500 Animal Coins). If your shifts keep ending for a reason this group does not address, the fix is a different group rather than a more expensive class inside this one.
