Huntington Memorial Hospital Employer Reviews

They give you all the tools you need to help the staff and hospital. we all worked together like a family and the most enjoyable part of work is a very nice cafeteria.

Responsible for carrying out any assigned area(s) within the Central Service Dept. For example, a typical day might be spent in the decontamination area of the dept. and/or surgical tray assembly, sterilizing surgical trays, instruments, and equipment in preparation for patients to undergo surgical procedures following the next work day. In the role – more... of a Sterile Processing Technician, the opportunity to learn a variety of surgical specialty trays, procedures, and equipment in learned on a daily basis. There is nothing that can be learned in one (1) day as a Sterile Processing Technician. All co-workers are given an assigned area(s) in a typical work day. My co-workers have different levels of responsibility on a daily basis, but everyone's job is a challenge. The hardest part of the job is a day in decontamination or preparing case carts. The most enjoyable part of the day is completion at any task attempted, success you might say. – less

Answered phone calls and troubleshoot issues with various Microsoft office programs (2003 & 2007), Windows O.S (XP & 7) & assisted end users in setting up personal Smartphone devices iPhone, Android & Blackberry. Created heat tickets and escalated tickets to the correct I.S personal staff. Assisted the Service desk engineers in completing various projects – more... making sure deadlines were met. – less

Support the emergency room doctor, order all his lab work, answered phone. Schedule the patient care associate and the other unit secretaries. Enjoyed help people period whether it was patients, employees or patient families. The hardest part of the job when it got really busy and demanding sometimes, I could still handle it, be it was hard.

Amazing place to work!, they have everything we need! nice lunch area and amazing people

The lab is a great place to work, very supportive staff, great learning opportunitues. I have learned not only how to perform various laboratory testing, but also how to interpret these results and the clinical indications for ordering them. I believe this job has given me a unique experience and understanding of medinice that I can carry with me forever – more... on my journey as a Nurse Practitioner. – less

very busy emergency department great co-workers loved working at this hospital

Absolutely great place, clean, friendly environment, everyone is caring and loving

My main role was Liaison between the OR and Sterile Supply. I reported directly to the OR Manager at the time. She ended up resigning midway during my time at HMH. My job was very confusing. No one had ever had my position before and I doubt they rehired anybody to replace me. So my advice would be to not accept a position unless they have clear job – more... duties. Other than that as you see by the ratings I loved the place, people and managers. The best part of my job was the diverse types of cases I was able to scrub in for. And the doctors are top notch. I would love to go back there and work someday. – less

If they decide they do not want you they will eliminate positions for a few months as a way to get rid of you than re-hire someone else. They have no concern what will happen to you or your family. The vp's and directors have only one thing in mind which is how much money they can make for themselves. They use money to go out to lunch, supply bottle – more... water for themselves, buy chewing gum buy the cartons if they want it and are just careless with their money. This is not a good place to work. If a family member becomes ill they will not allow you to take time to care for your family. – less

Great place to work, nurses took time to educate nursing students. Productive work environment. Most nurses showed compassion to patients. Clinical nurse educators were very patient with nursing students and we learned a lot from them.

it was clos to where I lived - instead of working as a Team and getting things done Faster - the Manager rather have us working workng alone and liked to have the area in a consist state of Turmoil ,,

It was a honor to work at Huntington. the organization has been a partner in the community for over 120 years. Caring staff and management which foster a family environment. You walk the halls and people actually look and you and say hello creating a warm and friendly environment. I received several promotions over the years untill I retired as an RN – more... and meet and worked with great people along the way – less

I worked here for 8+ years. I earned a degree to move up and get a better job. I could've easily been internally transferred to the new department. Instead, they decided to hire outside people, including 2 people I graduated with, over me. I was good at my previous job and I'm good at what I do now. My supervisors and co-workers at my current job can – more... back me up on that. – less

Not a place you would like to work at! horrible mangement, horrible HR.

It is fast paced , the institution is clean and the workers are friendly. The hardest part of my day is the Nurse to patient ratio, The enjoyable part of the job is providing care to various patients. Ive learned how to be a team player, I've learned majority all of my nursing skills from Huntington Hospital

A typical day at work involves conducting nutrition assessments

Going to work toHuntington was a very warm and friendly experience. A typical day at work would be discussing the tasks for the day and preparing instruments, case carts, crash carts and picking-up/ delivery of durable medical equipment.
I've learned a lot of things that I didn't learn from school like operating different types of sterilizers, cart – more... washers and how to clean/disinfect durable medical devices and surgical instruments thru in- house teachings, meaning company representatives will teach us how to operate, clean and how to take care of certain instruments. Huntington is a level 1 trauma hospital. It has 500 rooms and around 20 operating rooms. I learned to deliver goods and services to all the facilities of the hospital either regularly orders or STAT orders, in the fastest way possible.
During my stay at Huntington, management was a bit on the "not so good side" since my manager was still new at that time. My former department manager resigned. Everything was being changed, co-workers were complaining to the changes. But I cannot complain to the higher management.
Like any other workplace, dealing with my co-workers had its ups and downs at first, but overall it was good. I've learned how to deal with difficult co-workers which are just a few. But the majority were fun to work with.
Since Huntington is a trauma hospital, STAT orders are sometimes difficult to carry out. Shortage of instrument trays and medical equipment occurs when there is high accuity. But we carry them through.
The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to fulfill the needs of the different departments of the hospital and working in a peaceful environment. – less
