Productive friendly work environment.
Patient Care Technician (Current Employee), Columbia, MD – May 23, 2013
I work 12 hours Night-shift and every third weekend. A typical work day/night consist of performing my duties as a patient care technician to the full extent while providing comforting care to all patients and also, admitting, discharging and sending patients to to and from the Pacu, ER and other units in the hospital. Management and co-workers provided – more... great support and team work when ever needed.The hardest part of the job was seeing someone leave or pass on that you have conected with or has made a great impression on my life. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that I can count on my co-workers for their great team work ethic, and knowing that I was abe to make an impression and comfort/console someone in their time of need. – less

Great nursing staff.
RN, Labor and Delivery (Current Employee), Columbia, MD – December 1, 2012
High volume unit. The education department is stellar with disseminating evidence based practice recommendations, I just wish everyone could be on the same page as far as physicians and senior staff. Overall, I love what I do and my interaction with the patients has been great.
