Deaconess Hospital Employer Reviews

This was one place that celebrated every goal and achievement. They took the time to recognize individuals and enjoy the uniqueness of culture and ideas. There were ample opportunities to join committees and further your knowledge base in the hospital. The hardest part was watching a new company come in and make changes.

I worked the night shift on the General Medical/Oncology Unit. Cared for numerous types of post operative patients. Maintained IV's, drain tubes, various catheters and suction. Provided trach care and ostomy care. Assited the physicans with bedside proceedures. Medication administration. IV initiation and maintainence. The management and coworkers were – more... great. The hardest part of the job was that being on an Oncology unit I had to get used to a very high death rate of what seemed like very young people. The most enjoyable part though was when someones tests came back good and their treatments were beating back the cancer. It is impossible not to get wrapped up in a patient's joy and excitement over that news. – less

This is were I got my start in Healthcare and was able find out what I wanted to do for my career.. I started working the Pharmacy and that is when I decide this is what wanted to do, health care IT.

Most days were spent performing blood draws, working with the computer and making sure supplies were ordered and stocked.

Staff nurse. Provided one on one patient care. Dealt with the public from all walks of life. Enjoyed meeting patients and made several friends that were co-workers. I worked 12 hour night shift which made sleep schedules a challenge. Doing my best to provide good patient care and seeing the results was very rewarding.

I am consistently answering call lights, phones, meeting patients needs, charting, collecting vital signs, and helping nurses with any needs. This job has really taught me time management and to be consistently prompt. Also, I have learned to manage my time.

I worked at this hospital for 6 years and would do it again. I loved working here. The people were great to be around, always helping, teamwork was amazing. I wish i could have been there 6 more years.

Gathering patient history, educating patient on knowledge pertaining to our test. I have received certification while at this job, having a sick patient is the hardest part, the joy's are when a patient feels better and i have helped them.

I loved working at Deaconess. I was getting plenty of hours, we were super busy most to the time and the time went by fast. We had monthly birthday parties for the staff and it was just fun. I feel I did a very good job. I was sick a couple of times and was sent home but it also resulted in a mark against me. The migraine I stayed how with was another – more... one. Then in Feb. 2010 it snowed 2 times back to back and I could not make it out of my barnlot much less down the drive. They terminated me at that point. I now have a way to get the snow out of the drive. – less

A typical day was never typical you never new what time you would be working it was all over the place and lots of overtime. Most of the time just drawing blood or ordering lab work which was not hard or bad at all. Management was awful most of the co-workers were awful. But I did like what I was doing.

a typical day would be to start with bad co-workers and bad clients no one is happy and all you do is stick all day. Management is awful there is not structure. The job it self was not hard but not enjoyable.

Very clean organized and dynamic place to grow in career. Very active and proactive with education for staff. Encouraged employeestI be active in community services.

I enjoyed my total experience at Deaconess Hospital. Management in entire facility was excellent
