Hospital for Special Surgery Employer Reviews

One of the best hospitals, co-workers are all friendly and helpful.
working environment is excellent.

Great benefits... Staff is friendly... Its a really busy place but that helps the day go by faster.

My day begins with bedside reporting with the night shift RN. I perform a thorough head to toe nursing assessment of my patient. I seek out the patient care assistants assigned to my patient rooms and provide them with an up to date report on each patient. At approximately 0830 we have morning rounds. This is the time in which all the members of the – more... team come together to determine the patient's plan for the day with discharge goals, any issues over night that may have occurred. Following rounds the day continues. I make sure to provide effective communication with all members of the team, including ancillary staff, physicians, residents, PAs, and case managers, to name a few.

While working at HSS I have learned how to manager my time most effectively. HSS is a fast paced, elective surgery institution. I have learned how to provide the best care to patients recovering from orthopedic surgeries during the acute care phase up until discharge.

The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to know my patients and helping them handle the challenge of recovering from an extensive surgical procedure. I take pride working hard to advocate for my patients.

The hardest part of this job is seeing the frustration on those specific patients that may have a difficult course during the recovery period. I try to make the recovery period as smooth as possible. – less

Hss is a great hospital! I think everyone is a team player and works really hard.

I learned how to be a team player. The hardest part of the job was working more than 10 hours.

very busy, people are always testing and overly excited due to lack of information, or; mis-information. Management is now structured to make money, not as Family oriented as in the past.

Dealing with people.

I currently a CN 2 in the ambulatory PACU. My job consists of being the charge nurse, making the schedule, precepting new nurses, doing quality improvement assessments and helping my co-workers. The days that I am not charge I work in the holding area prepping patients for surgery or in the pre-op call center preparing patients for what to expect the – more... day of surgery and what guidelines to follow.

The most enjoyable part of my job is when a patient tells me that they feel good and how great their care was in our unit. To me that is very rewarding. – less

Assisted a world renouned physician, confirmed appointments and updated charts on a daily basis. Also collected copays and deductibles.

The Hospital for Special Surgery prides itself in being the number one hospital in the United States for orthopedic surgery and for recruiting only the best employees throughout the company. The environment is exciting, fast-paced and is very centered on the employees.

A typical day begins as soon as you walk in the door. The phone lines are very busy. We have a very high demand for our doctors. Management is slightly out of touch with the immediate needs of the staff. The hardest part of the job is never being able to leave work on time. The most enjoyable part of the job is when I can take a break just to go look – more... at the river view from the windows and have a quiet moment to myself. – less

I don't have much to say about the organization other than it is one of the most interesting hospitals that I've worked.
