Connected towards one main goal
Health Unit Coordinator (Former Employee), Boston, MA – May 21, 2013
Pros: one of the positive things about my job was the chance to grow in the field.
Cons: the time squeeze for doing things was difficult but as time went on i was able to gain new skills, and taught me how to better manage my time.
I recall various times that I went above and beyond what my job expected of me. I went to various steps to meet the needs of the patients I cared for. There was times I went to pick up meals when the kitchen was busy. For my patients had just arrived at the hospital and the meal times had passed. I remember going to various places looking for glasses – more... for a patient. My most enjoyable part of the job was the people I worked with and the patients that I was able to help everyday. My job brought me the most enjoyment. – less

Nice and productive work place
Pharmacy Intern (Former Employee), Boston, MA – May 20, 2013
My typical day at work was to round with medical team members every morning and review patient charts to verify patient's medication regimens.
Co-workers were nice and friendly.
The hardest part of the job was waking up early in the morning.
The most enjoyable part of the job was discussing with my preceptor.

My experience
Patient Care Assistant (Former Employee), Boston, MA – May 6, 2013
Pros: coworkers were fun
Cons: short breaks
My typical day at work was i worked nights so i came in at 11pm and got off at 7am. When coming into work i did my vital signs on each patient and made sure they were comfortable before they went to sleep. The hardest part about working with the gastro patients were watching them in pain. They was hard to see. I treated every patient as if it was my – more... relative. the enjoyable part of working with the patients was when they were happy. I got them up for there walks. It was fun – less

PAYMENT POSTING REPRESENTATIVE
PAYMENT POSTING REPRESENTATIVE (Former Employee), BWPO @ 111 CYPRESS ST. FL#2 Brookline, Mass. – March 10, 2013
I worked 11 months at BWPO CENTRA BROOKLINE
as Payment Posting ( manager Erika demers and Director Kim Cliffort)

After eleven months of employment at Brigham & Women's Hospital, I decided to resign from my position.
My decision was based on excessive physical and emotional stress caused from the daily mistreatment, disrespect and humiliation imposed – more... on me by my manager and director.
It was a horrible experience working with them.
Feel sorry for them. – less

I am 100% agree, those two witches, they like to fire employee with not enough reason. They like to lie and trying to find a reason to fire employee when they don't like them. They should be fired

Stimulating busy environment working closely with Radiologists and Surgeons, Fellows and Residents and technologists. Good exposure and experience.
MAMMOGRAPHER Lee Bell Breast Imaging Center (Former Employee), Boston, MA – March 10, 2013
I enjoyed working at Brigham and Women's hospital. The technical and professional staff worked as a close team and sincerely cared about the patient first and foremost. It was a very professional environment but we were all respected and felt valued. The management team always approachable and present for our concerns. Each technologist worked independently – more... within their assigned day duties but were always available to give a hand to anyone needing help, whether it be medical, technical or support staff. In stressful transitions with equipment, imaging software upgrades, changes in PACS and patient flow, the highest standards in quality and safety were maintained. Brigham and Women's was a good place to work. – less

One of the best, if not, the best hospital in the world
Pharmacy Technician Stock Room Clerk (Former Employee), Boston, MA – March 3, 2013
Pros: one hour break
Cons: no such thing
My typical day at work was basically receiving pharmaceuticals and making sure everything received was accurate, and filling requisitions for different departments like anesthesia, emergency ward, pharmacy satellites and keeping a clean stockroom enviroment, etc,...
Working with smart people was absolutely an advantage for me I learned a lot of details – more... and codes and many more stuff.
Management was excellent.
My co-workers were the best, always a good time being around them and learning something new.
There were no hard part of the job, every part of the job was enjoyable, saving lives. – less
