Highland Hospital Employer Reviews

I learned alot from co-workers and lead staff. I gained most of my knowledge and training at this hospital. The only downfall was rotating shifts.

pay is not good at all, big turn over rate with nurses, my thoughts pay better wages and nurses will stay starting pay for lpn's 13.00hr unbelievable not comparable to any hospital around.

Great job I do a lot of differnet things at work everyday
I supervise two other employees and have a great time at work

A typical day at work as a Patient Care Technician was fast-paced, energetic, and never boring. I learned so much about the medical field, which will be so helpful when I complete my nursing degree. I was not impressed with management, as I worked night shift and they did not make an effort to reach out to that shift often. We often left to sink or – more... swim on our own. I adored my co-workers and have never worked with a better set of team players. The hardest part of the job was the pain and suffering I saw everyday in my patients and their families...the most enjoyable was when I could brighten someone's day when they were suffering and offer them some kind of hope. – less

I enjoyed my job and although i did my job well and exceeded their expectations, there were those there that did not think i deserved the position i had and caused me to get laid off.

Talking about how we like working with are co-workers in what we would like to change if we had a chance. I learned that working as a team would get you farther in life. Co-workers would let you no if you doing something wrong before your manger let you no in you wouldn't want him to let you know because he might fire you in that might be on your record.

The go to guy when something doesn't work,can't find something or having trouble drawing Blood. Consistantly thinking of ways for the staff to relax outside work.

A typical day would consist of decontaminating, washing, drying, bedding and sterilizing surgical instruments. I gained insight on how the instrument process flows. Management was very flexible and lenient. My co- workers were very helpful and friendly. The hardest part of the job was decontaminating the instruments. The most enjoyable was the experience.

clean rooms of discharged patients, lobby, bathrooms, nurse stations, helped patients

Very busy office, working with two doctors, l learned how to work
to my fullest in helping the patient's get there questions answered
in a timely manner, and help taking care of there needs. with the help of the staff and myself along with the doctors. Working as a team was one of the best parts of my working experiences, the
hardest part of the job – more... was working under staffed which in turn
caused the office not being able to take care of patient's needs
as quickly as we should – less

It was great and staff was kind i love working there it was one of my best place to work.

Strong values and mission. My department of staff & co-workers were one big family.

I miust admit that my experience with highland was not what i expected. It took 2 months after my interview (which i was told then that i would be hired) to hear from HR and then when they did contact me, everything was expected to be done and finalized in a hurry. Then for 2 weeks i was sitting in the office unable to do anything but watch because – more... i had not yet gone for training and orientation. Pay is very low on the scale to the point that they have added a Merit increase program to try and make there pay competative,which it is not. Overall i am very disappointed by the whole process. – less

The atmosphere at this organization was challenging, since you would have to quickly adapt to changes throughout the day, depending on the circumstances in other departments. And even though the objective was basically the same, it had a tendency to change in various departments.

I work with great people that are always willing to teach when I ask questions. I've learned so much about the culture of healthcare and what it takes to be successful in the arena.

medical social work is what i enjoy doing, heliping those that are less in proverty and those that are seeking a helping hand regardless of social ecomonic is a wonderful experience

A typical day included caring for GYN/ONC female patients mentally, physically, and spiritually. The patients in our care were post ops, receiving chemo, or back for recurrent problems due to their cancer. I learned the essentials of caring for patients after surgery, how to communicate with patients and their families going through a difficult journey – more... due to cancer, realizing nursing is not just about following doctor orders and passing meds, but rather it is the simple things of actively listening to your patients, becoming apart of their family, making sure they feel comfortable, and have trust in me to make sure they are receiving the best care possible so they can go back to have quality of life and live life to the fullest. With awesome co workers and a great manger, I looked forward to coming to work and being with my patients, knowing I was making a difference in their lives, while they inspired mine. The hardest part of my job was seeing my patients in pain and choosing to go hospice, especially our young ladies. – less
