Baptist Healthcare System Employer Reviews

I believe that the people make the difference in any job and I was surrounded by individuals of integrity and respect at Baptist which made the difference in the overall experience.

Performed assessments and monitored care of 4-5 patients in cardiovascular intervention unit, prepared patients for surgery, and performed post-operative care

Baptist is a great place to work, their benefits and job security is outstanding compare to other organizations on the same scale, some of the policy that are in place and be revised.

Working under the supervision of an RN with Post Cardiac procedures and patient care.

i liked the job. i loved helping people coming to the hospital. i love this job because i have compassion for others

Great management great pay. I was on contract work and I finished my contract and moved on to the next job.

The patients I deal with on a day-to-day basis are the only way I contain my sanity. This place has become harder to work in. I am a TRN on nights and we have no staffing whatsoever. So the work load becomes insanely difficult when busy. I get no breaks and am hassled even when I am working my hardest. A cost of living adjustment was received and was – more... barely $.45. Gas has gone up and so has social security and taxes. We need another adjustment for that. It's like I never even received a raise. The rest of the staff is literally hired by monkeys. To be honest, people are illiterate and communication is terrible. I have to correct many mistakes of other departments and when that occurs it sets me back. It is really underpaid. I worked at Baptist for the friendly environment and patients seem to like it. But for what it pays, you can keep looking and assure yourself you will make more. I thought being one of the best here would at least cause my hourly wage to increase but instead management does not care at all. They do not care about you. It is a hospital. PATIENT CARE. The staff does not care and always feel overwhelmed. Why? Put yourself in your patients shoes for once. Nobody has a heart these days and I wish people would get audited and fired. I also wish they would hire people with a brain. I can not stand being used in my department and mistreated especially for the hard work I do daily, especially by myself. Times are getting hard, and working here makes it harder. Tough decision to make to stay at something I am good at doing where at least I know I make a difference in a patients life; or suffer in the long run till I get my degree in something I love. Know what you do before you do it. – less

When I began working with Baptist 3 years ago things were pretty good. We had good leaders, the morale was great, benefits and compensation were also pretty good. Over the last year most of the good managers have left, leaving only the greedy, selfish, do anything to make themselves look good managers to run the place. They could care less about the – more... patients or staff, but are only concerned with making themselves money. I was lied to on a daily basis, rules were made up on a whim, and greed was the driving force. – less

A typical work day at Baptist was very fast pace to start off. I learned to build a great rapport with every body that I came in contact with. I had great coworkers that became my family. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the dying process of patients that you have grown to love and care about dearly. The most enjoyable part of the job was – more... being close to my coworkers and us treating each other like family. – less

A typical day at work would be to do between 30 to 50 EKG at the hosptial for pre/post op, stats and new admits to the hospital. I have learn a little about what to look for on an EKG and how to perform pediactric EKGs as well. My co-workers are fun and entergetic. The hardest part of my job it to see someone pass after everything has been done to save – more... their life. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting new people and knowing that i made a differece in their life. – less

Overall I think Baptist is a good place to work. It is stable and secure. I can't speak for the healthcare aspect of the company, but I worked in Budget and Financial Planning and had the most horrible boss I've had in my entire career. I have gotten a lot of experience for my resume, but it has come at the cost of much anxiety, no social life, working – more... Saturdays, and feeling like I'm walking on eggshells at work. You will never know when you'll get yelled at for something--and grown people shouldn't have to worry about getting yelled at by their supervisors. – less

A typical day at work would be rooming in patients, taking vital signs, assisting doctor in minor procedures, injections, phlebotomy, EKGs. I've learned to be more of an independent worker due to having minimal to no supervision. My co workers and myself work well as a team. The hardest part of the job is the pay and location. With traffic, it takes – more... me a little over an hour to get home. Having 2 children is hard with the income I'm receiving from job. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with my doctor. – less

Its an okay place to work l worked at Baptist for 3 years in the women pavillion its just that some of the RN nurses thought they were managers if you didn't do what they say or they didn't like you, you wouldn't last on that floor, l made my day by keeping a smile on my face, doing my job and most of all enjoyed talking to the patients and their family – more... members, but overall its an okay place to work. – less

Great place to work and learn in the medical field. There is a family and team atmosphere.

I work at the PPS Coordinator. My responsibility can be divided into three aspects: quality, compliance and reimbursement. I supervise one other person who is credentialed as a Nurse. Together he and I ensure that the IRF-PAI is completed and transmitted to CMS. The most difficult part of my job is getting others engaged in maintaining a high level – more... of compliance in the medical documentation. The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to work for an organization that is committed to excellence. – less

The lab is a friendly atmosphere with helpful coworkers and a good environment of camaraderie and cooperation. The management is available and approachable. I have found it a very satisfying place to work.

I learned a lot. They had great benefits. I worked with a cohesive group.

great people and work environment. co workers made a great team

I was a RN II at BHMC for 2 1/2 years. This was the very first job I've held working for a big company. All of my jobs, to this point, I have been self-employeed. I worked three 12 hour shifts per week. Baptist is a very busy hospital, and, sometimes that could be overwelming, especially if there was not adequate staffing. My supervisor was, in my opinion, – more... awesome. I found that scheduling could be consistent and easily accomdated to change. I began this position as a new grad. Orientation was thorough and completed with patience and understanding. As a new grad, I learned so much. Flexibility was demanded in some cases and not given in others. The team, with which I worked, spanned equally from top notch and dedicated, to extremely lazy and apathetic. Teamwork was encouraged by management, but on the team level, not all team members wanted to play. EPIC charting system began on September 30. Prior to "going live" with the Epic system, employees were given more than adequate education and preparation. The best part of working at Baptist was the Christian environment. The need for Chaplin support was a part of the Admission Assessment. Prayer opened most meetings and educational events. Baptist has a Christ-centered missioned statement which meant that i was able to pray for and lead patient's toward Christ. – less
