Helping at the end of life

AN HONORABLE EXPERIENCE
Cert. Nursing Assist (Former Employee), PHOENIX, AZ – June 10, 2012
EDUCATION IS A PRIORITY AT HOV. TOP QUALITY CARE AT ALL TIMES. MY EXPERIENCE THERE WAS EXTEMEMLY REWARDING, THE HARDEST PART OF MY JOB IS WHEN A PT BECOMES AN ANGEL. MY MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF THE JOB IS BEING WITH MY PATIENTS, SPENDING ALOT OF QUALITY TIME WITH THEM IS PRICELESS!!!!

duskyjewel – June 24, 2012

Thank you for this comment. I am also a CNA and am extremely unsatisfied and overwhelmed in my current workplace. I don't feel like I truly "take care" of anyone. All I have seen from current former HOV employees in reviews are wonderful comments like this. I had hoped to see one from a CNA, so thank you for posting this!

Rewarding place to work. Wonderful people with great activities during holidays.
Staff Nurse (Former Employee), Mesa, AZ – May 5, 2012
Pros: flexibility. able to plan pt. visits, baked goods in the kitchen, coffee.
Cons: bieng on call often.
Wonderful place with strong values and great mission. Training very helpful when dealing with end of life care. Lovely people for the most part. Team work very effective to support pt. and family needs.
Management available and understanding. Learned to view Hospice more than just an end of life care. It offers the opportunity to help pts and family – more... to view death as a part of life and teaching to cope with difficult decisions by offering tools and support from nursing to chaplain services.
Enjoyed working with patients and our team. We are viewed as more than just employees but, an important asset to the company.
Hardest part of the job sometimes is staying objective at times of conflict between family and pt. and remain neutral at all times. – less

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – February 18, 2012
Pros: educational opportunities, training, opportunities for advancement, great management and team-work environment, a cause to believe in.
Cons: perhaps too many meetings
I loved working for this great not for profit hospice. I truly believe in it's cause and our family has personally used them ever since for family members in need. The management was great, it was a fun, educational place to work that offered many in-service opportunities for employee's, I was able to meet famous authors to Buddhist Monks because of – more... that benefit. I feel Hospice of the Valley is run very efficiently and logically. Training is abundant and the computer operating system is very user friendly. It is a place full of wonderful professional people as well. One of my favorite jobs! – less
