Indiana University Health Employer Reviews

A typical day consist of working with some of the most highly skilled physicians in the US. This organization is truly about putting patients and their families first.

Do not fall into this trap. Most of the employees at the front desk are related. They get the best schedules and less work duties. A typical day there is full of lies, rumors, back stabbing, etc. Followed by bullying and harassment. Things change and no one tells you unless they are reprimanding you for not knowing or yelling at you for not knowing. – more... If you ask a question be prepared for a smart alleck comment or a cold hearted stare/roll of the eyes. Too many fake coworkers and snitches. I should have known something was up when I was asked at the interview how I felt about drama. They are the ones who cause it. This is the epidamy of hell. Maybe even hell is better. Management is constantly breathing down your neck. They are desperate for you to make a mistake and push every button they can push and you will either explode and quit or resign. Maybe if you are lucky you will transfer. If you don't believe me, ask them about their exremely high turn over rate. They talk about you behind your back and then smile to your face. Stay away from southwest. I wouldn't even recommend a dog to work there. – less

Learned so much just enjoyed it all around. My supervisor was so fair and the management as well. My co-workers were just the best to work with .

Very hostile environment once new management took over. The hardest part of the job was dealing with new manager. Other than that, I loved my job. Very unfortunate.

Indiana University Health is a good place to work. They are family oriented and encourage good solid family values. They strive hard to continue to improve work ethics and to make the company the best in their field.

Worked as a staff RN in the surgical icu at Indiana University Medical Center. Cared for critically ill surgical patients including ENT, Thoracic, and GI. Cared for patients who were ventilated & sedated almost on a nightly basis and who were also on several life preserving IV antibiotics such as vasopressors. Cared for patients with multiples drains – more... and tubes such as wound vacuums, G/J tubes, and nasogastro tubes including the Dopbhoff tube to just name a few.

Certified to run Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy on patients.

Coworkers on this unit acted as a team and were wonderful to work with.

My supervisor was one of the greatest I've ever had to work for. Always put the patients and his staff first, and was not afraid to stand up for his staff if warranted. – less

I am warning anyone that the entire system is highly dysfunctional. Be aware that the long initial period means they can terminate you without cause at any time. They have horrible HR. Be aware that HR never has your interests in their practices. Even if you build good working relationships, show initiative, and are more than competent, they do not – more... have to exercise due diligence, and you have no hope of redress from the institution. If you have no other option, and you want to keep the job, be prepared to deal with poor managers and shifting rules and expectations. Good luck. – less

Their main goal is out grow the other hospitals and you will be another tool to help them reach their goal. If you rock the boat about how they run the BUSINESS (its all about the money) they have no problem tossing you out. Do your self a favor and find a better place.

Most professional staff at IU Health are good people who sincerely try to do their jobs well. The problem with IU Health is the leadership, especially at the VP level and above. It's a very political environment if you know what I mean.

Take some advise and don't work for IU; all they want is their numbers - especially the physicians, they want their quarterly bonuses and that is all they care about and we aren't talking change here people!! They don't care about patient care, just their money.
The work loads are awful and Management doesn't care how stressed out you get or if you – more... get cussed out by their patients..Management has a motto of we can always replace you and they will lie and set you up to get you fired... watch out people - take it from not only me, but my co-workers also !!! – less

In the time I worked for Indiana University Health, I was a Supplemental Chaplain, serving Methodist, University, and Riley Hospitals. I spent most of my time on 4E, 5E (cardiac care units) and in Emergency at Methodist. These environments are fast paced and ever changing. Being able to triage effectively is a must as well as reading the complex relationships – more... between different departments in the hospitals and working alongside them. The most difficult part for me was learning the role of chaplain in this setting. Chaplains are to serve alongside, with an emphasis on "serve" and "alongside," not lead. Sometimes in emergency, it was difficult to read who to relate to and how in an emergency. But, I was learning. The most enjoyable part of the job for me was being a team member with others in crisis situations. I still have more to learn about the differences between being a pastor, which I did for 34 years, and being a chaplain. They are different! – less

Everyday there is a different assignment,so you always learn something new. I specialized in endoscopes. We had a huge turnover as far as management. My co-workers were great. The hardest part of the job would have to be thinking of substitutions for other instruments. The best part is knowing I provided the patient with every thing they needed.

My co-workers were great, and I couldn't have asked for better people to work with. I loved my job and helping people. Management is horrible, absolutly horrible. All they care about is their bonus. In a meeting our manager said to us "You are all replaceable" way to make all of us feel important. If you want a job where the company could care less – more... about you, then this is the job for you! They hire brand new nurses with zero experience (even before they pass their boards) just so they can pay them the lowest amount possible. Which is fine because you have to start somewhere. But out of the four years Ive been there our manager has NEVER hired an experienced nurse. Its really bad when a CNA has to teach a nurse becuase the new nurses are teaching them! All this company cares about is money, not the customes, and they sure don't care about their employees! – less

Co-workers are great. Management style relaxed. This is sufficient for now.

The administration does not care what you have to say at all. You are nothing more than a worker ant that can and will be replaced at anytime, and they will let you know this. Very stressfull environment to work in, always working short staffed but expected to uphold the highest standards. To sum it all up, not enough time in the day to get the job – more... done. The bad part of all this is the patients are the ones who pay the price . Some coworkers were good, others were never there to help and others would put the knife in ur back in a sec. Just keep that fake smile on ur face and keep working, thats all that matters. IU is all about saving money, not how you feel about your job or rather if u feel secure about your job. – less

I loved working at IU health, the paitents are made to feel number 1!!

I came from another hospital system and was very disappointed by the lack of communication which impacts ability to help patients. Disappointed by apparent lack of regard the administration has for employees so it pays lower than competitors and makes its insurance more expensive and more restrictive.

Over $600 per month for terrible insurance, only friends of a manager will receive a raise or bonus. Upper management will hire friends to charge and shift coordinator positions. Even if they are not experienced.

Bedside RN in PCU

Worked there 38 yesrs. Have lots of experience

While IU Health is a great company. The Healthnet dental department is an extremely stressful working environment. Also, as an SRS Interpreter, you are expected to do the job of 8 people with the pay of half of one. The Manager and Coordinator are NO HELP whatsover. The Manager stays either in the office all day obvilious to what's happening. The Coordinator – more... does the time and delegates all day what you should do. Do not ever get sick, have an emergency, or a sick loved one. You cannot take off when you need to. Call in policy is the business day before 5:00PM. The mission is wonderful, but does not apply to employees. Very understaffed, no time for training. Things change quickly and no one tells you. You will have constant headaches and stomach problems. And no opportunity for advancement. – less
