Certified Nurses Aide (Current Employee), Flint,MI – April 28, 2012
I work during the day which is very busy. I assist with the care of patients who have had orthopedic surgery, traumatic brain injury(TBI), and strokes. I've learned a lot of physical things about the human body after surgery, a TBI, or a stroke; like how important it is for our patients to get out of bed. Some may think you get better by staying in – more... bed but I've learned that the more our patients move around they seem to feel better. The hardest part of my job is helping transfer patients physically. Using the proper body mechanics is a must. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing a positive progress for each patient. – less
Would not recommend it for long term unless you have a relative that works there.
dietary aide (Former Employee), Hurley Medical Center, Flint Michigan – February 3, 2012
Pros: pay was good, benefits pretty good for a part time position.
Cons: diversity training not applied to everyone, supervisor did not follow protocal
While working there I came across some very, very nice people but found it depended on which department you were in. In my case & the department I was in...diversity was frowned upon. Outsiders were unwelcome. First thing I was asked by my supervisor was who did I know that was able to get me "in". I replied that I did not know anyone I applied to a – more... ad. There was a "lot" of nepotism that took place & obvious favorites who were allowed to get away with things that others were not. She liked to yell & the employees she did not like or favor & belittle them in front of fellow employees. She was like a drill Sargent. She created a lot of anxiety for employees she disliked & would assign them the hardest stations to work at. If she did not like you then you could not satisfy her. I left & have kept in contact with some other employees & she either had driven away or was able to discharge the employees that I first hand witnessed this behavior towards. She was friends with the union reps & complaints against her went largely ignored. She is what I would term & allowed to be a bully boss! – less
Hurley Medical Center is the best trauma center in the Mid-Michigan area. I receive lots of great medical training there and I will refer anyone to work there.
