Good Samaritan Hospital Employer Reviews

Management foster teamwork, respect, integrity, compassion, and excellence. However, advancement on the job is limited to difficult due to lack of opportunity and availability of position(s).

coding ER and Diagnostic Records and Charging Observation and Inpatient records added injection and E&M levels. I currently work from home co-workers are great. Not be able to be social with peers Working from home

i was a kitchen aide. i kept the kitchen clean . i helped put deliveries, consisting of milk,produce and dairy products in the walk-in refridgerators. i also trained people in the different aspects of the job. safety was a top priority.

I have been working full time here for 13 years plus 5 years per diem before became full time. Still loving it.

Having worked in many ER's in the central PA area, I can say that the people who work here are absolutely wonderful. From the housekeepers to security it is like one big family and they truly are patient centered from the employee level but not management. Benefits are good.

However, on the flip side, ER recently went through management changes (several – more... in the past couple of years), and the work environment at all levels in the hospital is very tumultuous. People are unhappy, no lunch breaks in 12 hours,no breaks, management nit picking about silly things. The focus is not on good patient care but on things like hourly rounding which is ridiculous since we are in and out of the patients room several times during an hour. – less

I work night shift from 7 pm to 7 am, 3 days a week in a 60 bed level 3 NICU. A typical night shift involves care of preterm (starting at 23 weeks) and term infants. Patient assignments typically include 3 babies with low acuity, or 2 babies with higher acuity (example: ventilator /oscillator, chest tubes, therapeutic cooling).
My co-workers are one – more... of the best parts of my job. We have great teamwork, especially on night shift, among all of the nurses and NNP's. The babies and families that I care for are probably the most enjoyable part of my job - I really enjoy going to work. The most difficult part of my job is caring for an infant (and family) that is passing or having support withdrawn. – less

My job consisted of all aspects of patient care.I worked all over the hospital. I learned everything about orthopedic care,from diagnosing fractures to fixing them in OR. I knew that one day i would use everything i learned to advance my career in health care.

Very organized place to be working at.
Great team work.
Supportive management.

Everyone was friendly and helpful when i needed assistance. The day goes by fast because of the fun enviroment. Every manager is nice and easy to talk to. They tried their best to make schedules appropriate for each team member. The job doesn't have any hard jobs really. At first it seems like a lot because of all the job responsibilities but its not – more... hard at all. I really do enjoy this job i just need more hours. Its a great part time job nonethless. – less

GOOD PLACE TO WORK. GREAT ENVIRONMENT. BENEFITS SO SO BUT IF YOU COME TO WORK AND BE CONSISTANT, YOUY CAN GROW WITH THE COMPANY.

Very demanding company. Requiring workers to excel an every aspect. Education and training is top priority in healthcare environment. New technology implemented routinely.

Good Samaritan is a big hospital and it is always very busy. As a Health Unit Coordinator we were sitting at the front desk,order labs,xrays and answering phones.

This job involved me driving a vehicle around and delivering supplies and medical specimens from office to office.

Helping the community at the hospital by doing whatever possible to make it less stressful and easier on the employees. transporting patients and files.

Good Samaritan hospital I must say I loved being there. Wanting to be a nurse was a great start to just see how doctors were how many hours they did a day. Is just amazing how many life's they save a day.

Management was well organized and executed. There was plenty of support for management's decision making. You were allowed to function autonomously.

Hospital environment
Interestingly enjoyable
Children enjoyed arts and crafts with us volunteers.

ER nurses are very professional and well trained. Fast turnaround.

Started day with report on 4 patients. Cardiac monitoring, med. admin., wound care, admissions, patient teaching were all part of the job. I learned to prioritize my time. Management on night shift was a staff nurse acting as charge nurse. Hardest part of job was the fast pace. Best part of job was helpfulness of staff.
