No place to work if looking to expand clinical horizons
per diem pharmacist (Former Employee), suffern, new york – May 19, 2012
Pharmacy dept is at least 10 years behind. Very cumbersome computer software. Must open 4 programs to perform basic order entry, and toggle back and forth between 2 screens. Use of clinical knowledge limited to 2 areas. In over 35 years of experience it has been more than 10 years since I have worked in this type of environment. I would not advise any – more... individual who wants to expand his or her horizons to accept a position as a pharmacist at this hospital. Horrible – less
Practice Manager (Current Employee), Richmond, Virginia – May 15, 2012
Pros: easy to work with, ability to work around schedule when necessary
In a typical day you can expect to perform at the top of your game. You are given the tools necessary to complete your work and communication from management is considered a vital part. Management is responsive to request and concerns that are presented. Peers are helpful and supportive. The hardest part of the job is trying to balance everything that – more... requires your attention while still providing other staff with the support that is needed. The mission of Bon Secours is truly a pilar for the faith that they have in what they do. – less
Security Officer (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA – May 11, 2012
Cons: too much click
I STAYED VERY BUSY AT WORK. I LEARNED ALL THE POLLICY AND PROCUDERS AND GOT TO KNOW SOME EMPLOYEE'S. MANAGEMENT WAS OK. THE JOB WAS NOT HARD. KNOWING THAT I GAVE HUNDRED PERCENT AND TOOK MY JOB SERIOUS.
Enjoyed talking with the patients,while cleaning and sanitizing their rooms.
Housekeeper (Former Employee), Grosse Pointe, MI – April 17, 2012
I enjoyed getting up every morning,my supervisor was the best, my day started at7:00am each morning.At that time I got my cart and filled it with whatever was needed for that days work.I learned you can't use certain products or chemical together,this could be dangerous to myself or patients.I really had no gripes with the job, I really enjoy working – more... here. – less
Chaplain Resident (Current Employee), Portsmouth, VA – April 13, 2012
Pros: sharing a learning process with others, not a desk job, interacting with all levels of staff, many new experiences, having a great supervisor
Cons: none come to mind
My experience with Bon Secours Health System has afforded me the opportunity to grow professionally with a much greater emphasis on direct care with patients. I love people and at Bon Secours there are so many to love! I feel supported by a team of other professionals and am assured I am a good addition to the team. Management has clearly let me know – more... my skills and my presence are important. I like working in a Catholic health system because it clearly proclaims what I value most. Most of all, this ministry is allowing me to learn how to achieve a healthy work/life balance by making expectations clear and learning to stop for a breath every now and then.
I'm unable to rate the Job Security/Advancement category only because I know I am here until late August as that is when my Clinical Pastoral Education year will end.
There really is no typical day in hospital chaplaincy. I could say I spend a lot of time visiting patients, but it so much more than that. Each door I knock on and enter is an opportunity to establish trust and build a relationship with someone who was a stranger only moments before. Every day and every patient is unique. I have the opportunity to reach out to hospital staff--be it nurses, food service staff, administration, environmental services or security. Of course, there is also the academic side of the program--discussing reading assignments, presenting verbatim reflections, and engaging in InterPersonal Relationships group.
Through the Clinical Pastoral Education process have I grown in self-awareness. I have become more comfortable sitting with silence when its warrented. I find I am able to help people in crisis and grief. The hardest part of the job is certainly when there is a death. Death touches everyone: the family, the nurses and doctors, EMTs, unit secretaries, and me. The most enjoyable part of the job is simply the many different people I meet. I love to hear their stories--the bitter and the sweet. In some ways I've gained a new sense of history as I listen to older patients telling me about how they grew up and what their lives have been like. I'm amazed that so many trust me with their story and I recognize the sacrednes of these encounters. – less
My 1st nursing job presented a great opportunity to practice and perfect basic nursing skill, diverse patient population, age, acuity, medical comorb
Telemetry RN, OR Circulator (Former Employee), Grosse Pointe, MI – April 8, 2012
Pros: long breaks, good rn preceptors
Cons: very busy, shortstaffed unit
A step down unit is a great place for a new nurse because of the diversity of learning opportunities. The population was also diverse, in terms of acuities. The cardiology learning was and being comfortable with understanding telemetry and monitors, and cardiac rhythms. I was very disappointed in the management. Favoritism was rampant as was hostility, – more... and"setting up" new people to fail. LPN with > 20 years fo nursing service at that hospital, were demoted to CNA, involuntarily, and their hostility to the new RN's was very uncomfortable. My nursing class was mostly comprised of 2nd degree students (Bachelors) and knew a fair bit of life. Some of the nurses I worked with were among the most, intelligent, kind, good at educating correctly, and back-ups. When I resigned, I first told the HR director my various stories, she backed me completely, believed me, and gave me a good reference. – less
Resident Liaison (Former Employee), Saint Clair Shores, MI – March 23, 2012
Pros: developed relationships with the residents
Cons: low wages
Workni gat Bon Secours Nursing Care Center was a good experience when dealing with the elderly. Advancement was not easy if you did not posses experience or schooling in the desired field.
sterile processing tech (Former Employee), baltimore – March 10, 2012
I would never work for this company ever again. The only good thing about working at this hospital were the patients. They have horrible parking for employees and make u pay for parking when sometimes you dont even have a parking spot to park in. The pay isn't the greatest and the higher ups are just ignorant and not well educated. This is just my opinion.
