Great place to intern
MSW intern, senior care unit (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – May 17, 2013
MUSC is a great place to intern at. Since it is a teaching hospital you really have the opportunity to learn all aspects of the job in addition to what other employees do. Being part of an interdisciplinary team gives an in depth understanding of the entire care a patient receives.

Extremely humbling
HIV Peer Advocate/ Health Care PR Affiliate (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – May 9, 2013
A typical day at work was stressful but I remained resilient and did my best to inspire. I learned a large amount about health, safety and about how strong I am. I worked closely with Doctors to help with patient treatment and over-all well being. My co-workers were an essential part of my support system at this job. The hardest part of the job was – more... knowing the circumstances of the patients I was assisting. Knowing I could brighten up someone's day was my most enjoyable part of the day. – less

Great Organization
Program Coordinator (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – March 29, 2013
Pros: great benefits, environment, and impact on patients
Cons: poor advancement potential, lack of training
MUSC was a great place to work. The university/hospital environment provided a great opportunity to mix research and patient care. I learned how to coordinate a clinical trial and manage patient treatment plans, and monitor the effects of an investigational drug. My co-workers were all very dedicated to their job and to their patients. Management unfortunately – more... provided poor training and overloaded their staff with work, which jeopardized the integrity of the clinical trial and the data that was being collected. The hardest part of the job was reading and understanding the protocols, but that was also the most enjoyable part of the job because it was challenging and came with a high level of responsibility. – less

Productive work place. Little chance to advance.
Certified Medical Assistant (Current Employee), Charleston, SC – March 28, 2013
Pros: great boss! fun environment.
Cons: short breaks. unorganized.
Open clinics, depending on the floor you work. Stocked rooms. Triage 80 plus patients daily. Lab, injections, cleaning. Ordering radiology exams. I learned to work as a team. Everyone helped everyone out. Management was excellent. Some clinics where more organized than others. My co-workers where friendly and helpful for the most part. The hardest part – more... of my job, was remember how to set up for all the different clinics we provided, as well as moving around to different area's to help when needed. The most enjoyable part of my job was, seeing my patients get better. Working with some of the best Doctors I've ever met. – less

Work friendly environment and diverse community of employees
Administrative Support Specialist (Current Employee), Charleston, SC – March 5, 2013
Pros: beautiful campus, great managements, benefits.
Cons: parking issues downtown.
A typical day at the MUSC, requires patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to maintain professionalism at all times. While working at MUSC, I've learned to the ideals of communication and the importance of teamwork. Without those ideals, it is difficult to balance many different factors encountered of a daily basis. Moreover, the highly – more... trained and positive staff members are the key tools that keeps MUSC at it's highest level of performance. Within my unit, I have been able to develop lasting bonds, professional and personal, with my co-workers. Like most situations, It comes with woes and unforeseen events. One of the hardest parts of the job is the constant change of patient dynamics/census. In the age of spreading illness/diseases , it is sometimes difficult to developed an emotional disconnect towards patients/ family's life altering situations. It is almost impossible to not build a personal relationship with patients and their families. Mainly, it makes it more difficult to accept life's ever-changing course. Again, I feel the community aspect with the staff, patients, and family members are the most enjoyable part of the job. – less

Extremely Poor Management in Fast FLow Laboratory
Medical Laboratory Scientist, Generalist (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – December 28, 2012
Pros: wonderful new technology. great learning experiences!
Cons: poor management, no comunication
The job itself was great! I learned so much at MUSC.
I noticed immediately that Racism runs rampant here. This left a very difficult work environment. I had coworkers that would sleep through the night, every night. Management would question me for bringing it up rather than question the person sleeping. There was extreme HIPPA violations going on that – more... management would not address.
All problems were very workable problems, if only they had been addressed by management. – less

– January 22, 2013

I am interested in working there, and am supposed to do my clinical rotation there next month. What kind of racism is shown there? I will certainly be on my toes when I go .

– March 10, 2013

There was favoritism, racism, bullying in the department with employees taking extended breaks. Supervisors did NOT like to be told of this and did nothing of this and took action if against,it seemed one who did report. Was an excellent teaching environment.

AnonymouslyPosted – May 12, 2013

I am currently looking for another job as I am faced with the exact problem with management in my department. In fact, my lab works so closely with Fast Flow, that I have the same manager...and the same problems. It's really sad. I have seen so many great employees come and go because they would like a more professional place to work. It's a poor reflection on MUSC as an institution.

Large, up to date pediatric unit
Travel RN (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – December 12, 2012
The pediatric unit was large The diagnoses were varied and interesting. The hardest part of the job was getting back to back admissions and implementing doctor's orders rapidly when this occurred. A typical shift included admissions and discharges, starting IVs, administering meds and treatments, feeding babies and toddlers, and giving support to families. – more... I enjoyed working with my fellow nurses, pediatricians, respiratory therapists, and other staff. – less

Boring and Annoying Staff
Floor Tech (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – December 5, 2012
Pros: pay is every week, minimal to no supervision
Cons: everything else
The job requires long hours and has the most terrible employees who do not care about their jobs at all. I learned that certain jobs are not for everyone. The management was unhelpful when it came down to problems in the workplace, they played favorites all of the time. My coworkers where terrible workers. The hardest part of the job was to deal with – more... my lead supervisor and having to buff floors by myself. I did not enjoy this job at all. – less

Ghetto and Unprofessional
MUSC, Patent Access Rep (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – September 30, 2012
Cons: sometimes can't take lunch and breaks
Typical day is looking for a supervisor that is never around. All ways in meetings and only communicates through email. I learned nothing from this company except they blame the employees for management problems. They make you pay for parking isn't that suppose to be given to you.
