Really great place to work!
Patient Placement Coordinator (Former Employee), Burlington, Vermont – March 9, 2013
Pros: discount on ferry passes to new york and free parking!
Cons: off site parking involved "school" buses for transportation.
Everyday was structured with your input. Learned to work with many demands and personalities. Management did an excellent job listening and improving issues as identified. The hardest part of the job was the weather - if it snowed 48-inches you could be stuck at work! The most enjoyable part of the job was co-workers positive outlook!

Good place to work, good pay and benefits
Medical Assistant (Former Employee), Burlington, VT – February 18, 2013
level 1 trauma center, that doesn't forget it's employees. I initiated interest and gained much knowledge on the development and tasks within the radiology department in which I assisted. My questions were embraced and entusiastically nutured and supported. It was a little community within the walls of the hospital.

Supportive job environment for learning and growing as a professional
Registered Nurse III (Current Employee), Burlington, VT – February 14, 2013
Pros: supportive and friendly staff
Cons: long work hours
FAHC is very supportive of its nursing staff. I performed all tasks with a patient-centered focus while seeking opportunities for improvement of processes and treatments through active involvement in a unit and a hospital wide Practice Council, as well as, founding and running a unit level evidence based practice Journal club with information dissemination – more... to staff.

•Achieved departmental goals and objectives by instituting new processes and standards for in-patient care. For example: initiation of HCAPS, head of bed report, and continued infection control standards

•Developed and maintained quality care systems and standards, including but not limited to, creating and improving unit based medical protocols/guidelines.

As Charge Nurse/ Staff Nurse III: Implemented new floor assignments based on evaluation of staffing requirements and patient acuity to maximize patient safety and staff productivity. I am providing patient care in a med-surg unit, adeptly handling many aspects of treatment from medication to wound care.

• Liaised between patients, physicians, management, and other members of the health care team to ensure patient comprehension of treatment plan and to achieve high patient satisfaction.

•Assisted patients with healing and recovery before and after cardio-thoracic and peripheral vascular surgery as well as an array of medical ailments. – less

Fletcher Allen Healthcare is the largest employer in Vermont and is always supportive of any career advancement and education that may be neededed to
Surgical Clinical Office Assistant (Current Employee), Burlington, VT – December 28, 2012
Pros: fletcher allen offers great insurance benefits and retirement
Cons: employees have to park off site and take shuttles into work, it can be inconvenient sometimes relying on a ride into work and making it on time.
I absolutely love my job. I know, alot of people can't say that. I love the challenges I have to deal with everyday and the people that I work with. We all have a great chemistry and all of the Attendings are very respectful and understanding. Over the years I have learned many different aspects of the ENT field and have developed close relationships – more... with patients who are here on a regular basis. – less

LPN (Former Employee), Burlington, Vermont – September 8, 2012
Pros: good wages, clean environment, best state in the us of a, good perks package.
Cons: eliminated lpns after i left (no return), difficult to menuver through the mazes as the buiulding 'grew'.
As an LPN at Fletcher Allen, I had total care of assigned patients receiving dialysis. As the treatments were provided in an open area, but had excellent comradery and teamwork. We all helped one another, using our strengths to assist with others weaknesses and vise versa. Mid-day would be 'turn-over' when one group would leave and another would come – more... in for a treatment...this was rather hectic, but again, we were a team and that made all the difference. I learned all about hemodialysis, as well as all other modalities. We provided treatments for newborns, all the way up to the elderly. Most co-workers were excellent, as was management. The hardest part of this job was the pace, but I loved the challenge! – less

Great place to work!!!
Patient Registration Coordinator (Former Employee), Burlington, VT – June 29, 2012
Pros: great management, professional growth opportunities, and great benefits.
Cons: the drive to burlington (via the ferry) was just too hard and too time-consuming.
I learned that Vermont has a large diverse population with many different spoken languages. I also learned how to access language interpreter services, which was neat and interesting. The management was great to work with...they expect a lot out of their employees, but they are very good to them and treat them with respect! The hardest part of the job – more... for me was the distance I had to travel. I took the ferry daily and it was a nightmare, too time-consuming and too expensive to use on a daily basis. A bridge between NY and VT would have made a huge difference in the drive time...it would have saved me at least one hour a day and a lot of money. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with my Supervisor and co-workers. – less

What a great place to work as a new nurse
Staff Nurse/Charge (Former Employee), Burlington, VT – April 4, 2012
Pros: variety of hours, staff, supportive management, pay
Cons: could be physically and mentally exhausting, short or no breaks.
The opportunity of working at Fletcher Allen as a new Graduate from nursing was the best experience of my life. I felt so welcomed, supported. Nuring Management knows what they are doing to keep the staff as a whole as part of a team. It was always a team effort no matter what area of FAHC I worked!

Practice Support Specalist (Former Employee), Burlington, VT – January 18, 2012
Pros: free lunches from all the drug sales reps!
Cons: high stress, difficult patients
I really did enjoy working for this company. My pay was good & had great benefits as well. What I enjoyed most about what I did was the face to face contact with the patients.

– May 18, 2012

I heard well competent people, even overqualified friends, applied to this position for months, then found out later it was filled without a word from any of the recruiters. However, it keeps resurfacing as an open position on the job market. Wondering if human resources at FAHC are really doing their job at looking for the best candidate.

Theodore – June 25, 2012

Fletcher Allen has not allowed drug reps on site for years.
