LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL Employer Reviews

I really enjoy working for the network. CO workers are helpful and management is awesome!!!!

it was a vey good learning experience the nurses allowed you to watch them

LVHN is an organization that lives its mission.

We heal, comfort and care for the people of our community by providing advanced and compassionate health care of superior quality and value, supported by education and clinical research.

The compassion and caring is extended to our colleagues as well. I am very fortunate to be part of this organization – more... and a solid, well respected team. – less

Management loves to micro-manage and will call you out on even the smallest mistake. Very poor morale in claims processing unit. When LVHC execs come to visit, Spectrum Execs become friendly and then are mean again when execs leave. Management treats employees like children. Watch your back. Don't know about working at the hospital but my experience – more... with Spectrum was a nightmare. – less

I used to be proud to work at LVH. My last position however was just horrible. I was bullied, treated like an idiot despite many years of experience, my most recent boss was counseled for the terrible way she treats people, yet was given a promotion despite this. I was bullied by another employee, and management actually laughed when I said I wanted – more... her fired. This network has gotten so large that as an employee, you are just a number, and nobody cares if there is a problem. If you open your mouth, you are gone any way they can make you leave. Having now found a new position, I realize the pay, benefits and culture at LVH is appalling. I am an RN, and am glad I no longer work there. In 32 years of employment I was not sent to one conference to further my knowledge or be able to network. Yet my bosses would go frequently. Never enough money for the people doing the work....but always enough for a trip to Florida for the administrator or a brand new Ipad. No accountability, favoratism, the good nurses are beaten down, the bad ones just float on by. It's completely out of hand.... – less

I really enjoyed working at Lehigh Valley hospital in different departments expanding knowledge of various duties for specific departments. Working in the ER was very challenging, because it's a very fast past environment. Being assisted by the nursing staff was very helpful.

A typical day at Lehigh Valley Hospital is just working non stop for my whole shift, getting breaks here and than when I get a chance to actually sit down. It is a very interesting time working there because i get to meet alot of new people, I also get to see alot of interesting stuff while learning about it also so its a great expierence for me. My – more... co-workers are very nice and we all get along well with one another. Sometimes it may get a little stressful, but that is like any job, at the end of the day I enjoy working here. – less

Productive and fun place to work. Emphasis always on customer service, both external customers and internal customers.

When I get into work I check the refrigerato temp to make sure it is not out of range. Then I check messages. I start by calling pt back and making app. By 9 pt start coming in and I need to start doing vitals on the and getting there history and vitals before the doctor come. When the doctor come I will tell them what the pt has told me. The doctor – more... come in while he is in with the pt I am kooking at the faxes and sending them where they go. Then I start on my billing till the doctotor is done. I then start making app and referral and auth chcking people out . – less

It was a really great place to work, the co-workers were team players but the salary was awful.

good opertunity to apply my knowledge to real world, using Arena to do simulation process

Very busy place to work! I enjoyed my experience working for LVHC. My co-workers were so helpful, management was excellent, benefits were outstanding, and the unit I worked on gave me a whole new perspective on life and living. The hardest part of the job was watching some be cured of cancer and some passing.

Had the benefit of working here fresh out of nursing school... extensive support structures in place for new grads. Technology at the forefront... learned many things that I have yet to be exposed to since.

It seemed as though there were no two days the same. Sometimes it could be very busy and other days were slower paced. I learned that different people have different ways of looking at the same issues. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting different people and hearing about the things that they have done. The hardest part of it was being timed – more... with every job that was done, for me it seemed as though I never got to talk with the people that I moved. – less

I can't speak for the entire network, however in the patient accounting office for the hospital many of the people do not care if you are dead or alive and feel it's okay to walk all over you

It has been a long time since I worked at LVH, but what I have learned I have carried with me in my everyday life. A typical day of work was challenging, unpredictable, and rewarding. I enjoy helping people and times when there is nothing more you can do to help them is the hardest part of any day.

Underpaid for the work you perform. Some floors management team is a joke. Hospital is a great place though.
