Long Island College Hospital Employer Reviews

It was great to volunteer at LICH SUNY Downstate. My experience with the Information Systems staff was very exemplary. The staff is very knowledgeable and answered any questions i had. They treated me as part of the team. Being a volunteer i gained experience quickly and gained the trust of the staff to work on my own. The hardest part of the job was – more... remembering the layout of the hospital because it was very easy to get lost. – less

I was at the Long Island College Hospital as an intern. I was there for 3 months. It was part of school and needed to be completed before I can graduate. My experience there was great. I learned many different skills also dealing with people from different cultures. I was trained how to EKGs, draw blood, Urinalysis, and other tests.

Work involves staffing and appropriately placing qualified nursing personnel in areas of the hospital according to patient needs. The most enjoyable part of the job is the direct interaction with staff and patients and their families regarding the care that is needed. Co-workers are very knowledgeable and helpful. Management always assures that you – more... have the right equipment and teaching guides to make staffing productive. A cohesive environment remains to be a thriving environment. – less

The only time I worked here was during the time I was earning college credit.

Worked as an Intern from 4/12 - 8/12. Worked with skilled employees and was afforded the best training in Medical Records.

WAS VERY CHALLENGING, EXCITING BUT WAS ALSO A LOT OF HARD WORK AND LONG HOURS. LOVED AND ENJOYED TEACHING INTERNS AND RESIDENTS

Hard working

Enjoyed my job, but had minimal administrative support.

Its a great experience, it was a very busy facility, I interacted with over 30 patients per day and enjoyed helping.

Wonderful experience as an Extern/Volunteer. I filed and retrieved patient medical records. I ensured the privacy and confidentiality of patient information. I would love to work there as a full time permanent staff.

Typical day would include signing in at 7am sanitizing work area and stocking supplies until patient arrives. Perfom venipunctures on 20-30 patients a day. Greet them and verify patients demographics including name, birthday, and insurance information. centrifuge specimens and transport to laboratory for futher testing. i learned that you cant see all – more... patients before your shift ends. the hardest part of the job would have to be leaving with a room full of patient. the most enjoyable part is when you hear a patient tell you that they didnt feel a thing. – less

I was a Medical Office Assistant for 5 years. I assisted a team of surgeons, nurses, and administrators in the rendering of patient care. I was fortunate to work with fascinating, intelligent, and the most kind individuals I can find in a work place. Some of my duties were drawing blood, taking EKGs, doing vitals, and helping the surgeons with in-office – more... procedures. I learned about patient safety, infection control, communication and medical technology.
The hardest part was learning how to multitask in a fast pace environment. The most enjoyable part was learning something new every day. This job is why I am a registered nurse today. – less

While interning at LICH, i was able to expand my educational experience with payients. I enjoyed that I got to work with well experienced Doctors who owned private practices.
