Deaconess Hospital Employer Reviews

I enjoy every minute of it, management was great and co- workers even nicer.

This company is in the growing stage and has the problems most businesses experience in a transition.

I learned a lot at this job, such as compassion for the sick families and how to prioritize what needs to be done in a desperate situation. A typical work day may include counseling homeless or needy people of their rights to pay or how there is assistance to help them pay their medical bills, or it may include running in and out of emergency rooms – more...  collecting information before any nurses or doctors see the patient so that they may be registered for any labs or testing they need ordered. – less

I've held different positions which were each different. I worked in the Women's Center where I would register patients for mammograms (which was the hardest part of the job because the patients were sometimes angry that they had to have this done). Also, scheduled baby classes, made deposits, helped the childbirth educator schedule instructors, helped – more...  with the budget, etc. The childbirth educator was very enjoyable to work with. I learned how to register the patients on the computer and how to put insurance info. in, etc. – less

Needs some up-to-date workers on the general guidelines for their employees.

Co workers were a tight knit group. Hardest part was when someone died. T&A days were a blast. Management was right at your side to help when needed.

Large turn over in the lab when I worked there. The lab employee's (phlebotomists) were lazy.

This is a pretty good place to work for. My department has been very flexible when necessary. Most people are I work with are caring and understanding.

It's a Hospital that caters to the customer. Dealing with people and there needs and wants.

This was my first experience with Inpatient Pharmacy.
I had worked retail up until then.
Lots of things were expected of me to know that were never taught or had ever seen happen.
I had to learn the IVAD procedures with little to no explanation as learning on the job. Very sporadic training, meaning I was scheduled in IVAD 1-2 days, then put in Unit – more...  Dose area for a couple of weeks. This happened for 7 months. 8th-9th month I was in IVAD a lot more but with someone not capable of training without screaming. Was terminated in the 9th month for not being able to perform IVAD my myself. Was told "you never fit in anyway". – less

Deaconess Hospital, Inc. is a great Hospital to work for if you are beginning your career. If you are a nurse, you could very likely advance your career and salary as far as you would like to go. If you are in an administrative position, you could do the same. If you are in any other department you may be limited. You may very well find yourself in – more...  a dog-eat-dog scenario due to others trying to reach the top--which is not far from the bottom, and can make for an extremely stressful workplace. – less

Loved the co-workers. We were like a family! Everyone took care of one another and management was terrrific!
