MedStar Georgetown University Hospital Employer Reviews

I've been with GUH for about 5 years now and I can truly say I love it. When they say they make it available for you to move around and grow they mean it.

very busy hospital, very nice and very positive place to work , very nice management work very will together, co-workers work as a great team together, eight hours go so fast the eight hour not enough time. most enyoyable of the jobs everyone work as a team player.

Was only a part time instructor there. Not sure that my department still exists

Georgetown Hospital was a wonderful place to work at. I learnt how they put people to sleep and shock there heart. Georgetown is where I learnt how to start IV's and they gave me an opporunity to use my skills to draw blood.
Management could had been better. Hardest part of my job is when I had to work by my self. That kind of work is not designed for – more... someone to have to work by themselves. Sometimes no team work.
Over all the hospital is great. – less

I enjoyed working at Georgetown University Hospital. I learned alot about the value of a completed medical record. I aslo learned how to transition from paper medical records to electronic health record. The people on my team were friendly and easy to work with we were like a family. The hardest part of my job was the scheduling and shift change.

I work with great employees and managment. I ve learned and grasped so much within the past year, I feel I have mastered the level of skill and commitment to accomplish the duties of my current position at GUH,so I'm now looking for a change with a challenge.

Do not work here. MedStar is awful to work FOR. You will not work with them. You will be told what to do and treated like garbage. MedStar only cares about surviving another year.

• Worked and supported clinical team to ensure patient experienced the highest quality of service.
• Accepted co-payments and electronically posted in practice management system.
• Answered phone calls, provided appropriate assistance and relayed calls appropriately.

Every day brings on new challenges and opportunities. Management is always wiling to help and co- workers made the transition from retail pharmacy to hospital pharmacy a smooth process. Hardest part of the day is dealing with the reality that cancer is no respecter of person or age. I am glad that in my own way I have the opportunity to help patients – more... feel and get better. – less

I have the opportunity to work with patients of all ages at Medstar. Working in different departments such as Cancer, Transplant and Outpatient laboratories allows me to experience patient feed backs regarding Doctors, Nurses, Phlebotomist etc. regarding their care. The most enjoyable part of the job is cross training in other departments of the laboratory – more... such as receiving/accessioning. – less

A typical day is busy, i try to learn something new every day , we have some great managers and a diverse group of coworkers, doing five things at once, working is my joy

I enjoyed working in the IV room. Different departments where you go and work at.

Job is ok but management leaves much to be desired. The culture is terrible, or should I say non-existent. People take their day out on you and their staff, as a manager this doesn't happen to me but I see it quite frequently. Their is a lot of "stone throwing and hand hiding"; fully expect that people will speak with you on the phone to resolve an – more... issue and then send an email with everyone BCC'd and CC'd on it like they never spoke with you. I am looking to leave after less than 6 months and its a shame because there are wonderful opportunities here. – less

Georgetown University Hospital is part of the MedStar group in the Metro DC area. The MedStar group provides good benefits and there are opportunities to move from hospital to hospital. Georgetown itself is a small hospital in need of some building renovations, however it performs at a state of the art level in personnel and instrumentation.

I'm a registered nurse. I have worked for GUH for 3.5 yrs now. The management is great, especially lately. There is room for advancement and all my co-workers are great. I couldn't ask for anything more. The unit I work on, 5 Bles, is a busy unit. The teamwork and moral though make it a great place to work.

Department manager tasked with planning and forecasting budgets, human resource documentation of staff, train and develop systems to assist supervisors with their divisions on policy and protocol. Work with administrative/clerical staff training them on new equipment and report processing. Co-workers were fun to be around. Counseling and disciplining – more... employees were the hardest part of the job because of diversity of issues and people. I am self-directed and enjoyed finding ways to help control costs and interact with staff on all levels of department. – less

It is a nice place to work. I love my job I am just tired of the commute.

Gain alot of experience there in the medical field, to bad it was just a short term training for me.

Spent half of my life at Georgetown. In 27 years of being employed, teaching/learning, it has been a great experience. Wore many hats for Infusion, preceptor for new graduates, floor nursing, case management, and home infusion. I did feel very appreciated. Enjoy patient/client teaching.
