Antelope Valley Hospital Employer Reviews

The employee health, human resources, and other essentials are all outsourced from the hospital to secondary and tertiary companies. If you ever get hurt or exposed to something that makes you terribly sick, you have to jump through so many hoops for each company just for the hospital to recognize that you were really hurt or sick. But once the hospital – more... recognizes the incident as detrimental to you, almost everything is paid for outside of required insurance co-pays.

It is very hard to advance yourself in the hospital. You can move sideways into comparable positions to what you already have, But you have to have the hand of God working for you to be able to move even one step forward regardless of your education or experience

Most equipment in the hospital is, at its newest, 20 years old. Everything is breaking down. However, the nurses, nurse techs, doctors and all support staff are phenomenal. You won't find a better group of people to work with or for. You will work with true exceptionalism, even while the hospital crumbles around you.

Te executive team is going through some changes, and that effect is being felt throughout the hospital, but there is faith that the organization will become stronger when finished. – less

Although this hospital is convenient and the work can be hard at times, I have found the most difficult part is managing the personalities of co-wokers, because management and the culture of the hospital remains in the dark ages, this proves to be the hardest portion of this job.

Working for sixflags was extremely fun i learned how to bring people in. Management was very happy co-workers were the joy of the day. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the weather and the most enjoyable part was plying games with guest

everybody acts like they are still in high school get over it

Learned everything. I have continued working in the medical field due to my excellent experience.

This was a large acute hospital which provided hospital care to several surrounding communities. This gave me a broad variety of transcription and increased my skills tremendously. My coworkers became close friends and the work day was always enjoyable. We were introduced to a new EMR system which increased our productivity and also allowed us the opportunity – more... to become outsourced to work at home. – less

Very busy suburban Emergency Department. Averaged 350 patients a day. Critical care and trauma.

a typical day at work would be typing, filing, and answering phones. this job tought me alot espically in the clerical feild. the best abut this job was the management they were always polite and respectable.

very hard place to work for. Nurses don't seem to care, doctors over loaded with patients, ER has extreme wait times

A typical day would be staff meeting briefing before assigned to post. Work and assist with staff and hospital guest, visitors, and patients. Management was supportive and helpful. The hardest thing about the job was dealing with others professional and the most enjoyable was assisting patients, staff, guest, and visitors of the hospital.

Ensure the safety of the hospital interior and exterior; assists visitors as well as patients. Requires few challenges.

Very repetitive, we are constantly moving and walk several miles a day, involed a lot of lifting people in and out of bed. We work side by side with the nurses on a regular basis and I was able to learn a lot from them. Overall my Co-Workers were wonderful! Every job is going to have someone that you dont really care for, but I really didn't find too – more... many. The hardest part of my job is all the walking and lifting. We typically walk up to 10 miles a day and have to be able to assist in lifting patients of all sizes. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting new people. Being in my department most of the staff know you and a lot of the patients get to know you by the end of their stay. – less

A typical day involved the cleaning and sterilization of instruments. Storing, package and stocking of the equipment. I learned most of the instrumentation needed for certain cases. Gave me a sense of how to use some of the instruments. The hardest part was remembering all the different trays, but the more you do it, the easier it had became.

no comment. I don't really have anything nice to say about this place.

Compensation and benefits are good. Communication, culture and job security are poor. High turnover in management caused instibility in many departments.

A pleasurable and rewarding work force. Very challenging most days but that can also be the most memorable events. The most enjoyable part of my work day is interracting with staff residents family members' visitors and visitors, sharing with them a pleasant smile and information.

I really enjoy the people I work with. They are hard workers and we all work well together. Ancillary staff included. The only draw back is management. It just seems like they are constantly trying to blame nurses for their problems and I feel like I am constantly looking over my shoulder. So do the others. Most feel like we almost work in a hostile – more... work environment. They want to be considered a Magnet Hospital and want all RN's to get their BSN but they have decreased the amount they are willing to give us per year for education. – less

No Comment at this time as it would not be positive due to the low morale due to a large number of ongoing layoffs.

The floor I worked was Med-Surg. It was a quite well experience because the RN at that time i was assigned with, she was a great, well educated,humble,professional,smart nurse. So all over i had a good learning experience out there as well.

I worked in the Locked Psych unit as the Continuum of Care Coord. It is the equivalent of discharge planner for Psych
