Mercy Medical Center Employer Reviews

I find that there is a large proportion of "step down" or telemetry patients admitted as "overflow", ICU; hence there are frequent overflow assignments to the ICU nurses with a patient ratio of 5:1. ICU assignments are interesting and challenging and the physicians are always available, Management is somewhat invisible, especially to the night shift. – more... Coworkers are generally helpful and professional, but can seem insular and at times unfriendly, especially to new employees. In fact, the hardest part of this job, as an experienced ICU nurse, has been dealing with some very strong personalities. – less

Start at 6:30 am. gather interments and get ready for the day.I enjoy my work and the place I work. I'm easy to get along with and have fun with my co-works. I try to learn something everyday. I want to move back to Montana to be close to my faimly

I assisted whenever the rooms needed something and I would discharge patients when they would leave the hospital. I also worked at the front desk signing people in and answering any questions.

At my time at Mercy I've had few bad experiences. The few bad experiences that I had came from one particular manager and outlasted her. Besides that, the people are great and always smiling. It is a great atmosphere to work in. My co-workers always felt like family from the people in housekeeping to the Doctors. I know people all throughout the hospital – more... because I am responsible for stocking all areas with linen on a daily basis. – less

I was a AHA instructor, for Mercy. My position was PRN so could set my own schedule. The other staff was very helpful & easy to get along with.

I worked PRN straight out of radiography school. Though I was new to the field, the management respected me as an employee and provided me continual opportunities to advance and progress.

Co-workers were often gossipy, though not more than I expected and it did not often advance to the level of cattiness.

The hospital can be an energetic environment as well as slow and uneventful. Patients ranged from young to old and there was variations within the coworkers that helped create a sense of "family". Most enjoyable part of the job was to see the satisfaction and peacefulness of the patients even though they were in the hospital.

There is really nothing hard about the job

great place to work, beautiful area and great management. Manageable workloads. Nice work environment. Good team work among all employees.

A typical working day consist of transporter to and from their scheduled test exams and discharging them. I learn the leadership role by being the supervisor and what to expect and the responsibilities that come with it. I can great co-workers that were will to give me advice if they felt I should have handle situation differently. The hardest part – more... of the job is when more patients had to be transported than the number of transporter I had scheduled for that day, even when I had more than normally scheduled. – less

I started this job right out of high school, so I aide. I worked in Surgery for 16 years I started with prepping patient for surgery to wrapping and cleaning surgical instruments, cleaning surgery rooms and a surgical procedures. over the years I moved up and started working at Surgery Control Desk which meant helping the The Control Nurse run the OR. – more... Helping her make sure 100 got lunches and breaks all post op was put in the computer and patients are down and ready for Surgery and lab work is ready, rooms are turned over and ready for the next case and etc. I also did the Surgery Scheduling and Billing. I loved my job loved all my co-workers and loved my Supervisor. The hardest part of this job is there is alot of stress and emotions when a trauma comes through the door. But the Health Field is in my blood.. – less

The hardest part about the job is job is really not getting any – more... assitant or not being heard. the most enjoyable you get to meet different people. you get to learn alot about the medical feild if interest. – less

Mercy is a great place to work. Each day brings something new and exciting in the surgery department.

My typical day of work involves arriving early to set-up the lab, go over schedules, check work area to ensure its cleana nd that all daily checkpoints/inspections have been done. Order supplies if need be. Throughout the day, we service patients in our outreach facility, we process specimens, perform data entry and daily site cleaning throughout the – more... day.
Managment is fair and my co-workers are great. The hardest part of my job is finding new ways to keep my co-workers inspired and motivated to work at one-hundred percent. The workflow is very heavy and a lot of patients have many issues and many of my co-workers are new; so being there for a number of people at one time can become hectic at times; but it's what I love to do. I love to train and lead. I am totally satisfied when I have been apart of molding an employee who executes his or her job properly. – less

This was a part time position. Loved the staff and volunteers. Paid position eliminated

we are way under paid they dont want to work with my drill schedule i have tried several times to advance myself to get denied every time for being in the military.

Good organization. Only leaving to pursue a new career in a new area. Good culture and values. Employee compensation could improve, although benefits are good. Increased feedback from management would be good.

Loved the people and hours here was hard to leave but attended school full time for Radiology

Mercy Medical Center is a great place to get your career started. It a great place to learn the healthcare field.
