Good experience
Patient Care Technician (Former Employee), Daphne, AL –
Great work environment. It was more of a long term care and rehab setting. Most enjoyable part of the day was knowing that my patients were cared for properly and lookin forward to seeing me another day.

The atmosphere at work was busy and at times it felt like family.
Medical Records Clerk (Former Employee), Baltimore, MD –
Pros: smaller office, paid bonuses, family feel, frequent breakfast and luncheons
Cons: no room to grow, and management was not easy to get along with.
My day at work as a medical records clerk was predictable, it wasn't any extra surpises on your desk to do. I come in knowing what to do and it was done. I only worn one hat and it was just as a medical records clerk. I can get all my work done quick and I had time to help others if needed. Management wasn't perfect but I've learned how to deal around – more...  that. My co workers was easy to get along with, they were supportive and helpful. What was hardest about my job was it wasn't challenging enough and it wasn't any room for advancement or no ladder to climb in the small office I worked for five years. I needed to grow and I felt myself getting bored with my assignments once I mastered them.But what I did enjoy the most about my job was the family oriented feeling I got working there, the treats, the rewards, and the freedom of going to lunch when you wanted to go (just as long it wasn't abused of course) What I have learnt at The Womens Gynecology center at Mercy was the importance of taking better care of yourself and being aware of the signs of Cancer. – less

If working in a busy labor and delivery triage unit with many high risk mothers needing full workups is what you like to do, then this is the place.
Certified Nurse Midwife/ In patient L&D triage (Former Employee), Baltimore, MD –
Pros: the cnms, residents, and medical staff were great.
Cons: sometimes no breaks.
Typical day: 4 triage beds with most of them filled at same time, usually on continuous fetal monitors. One RN assisting but sometimes she was caring for active L&D patients at the same time as well depending on how well L&D was staffed. Most of the responsibility for assessment, FHR strip checks, exams and consultations with the OB residents on duty – more...  was on the CNM.
Decisions made to determine labor status, check for ruptured membranes, fetal surveillance needs, preterm labor assessments and frequently full evaluations on PIH status. Had a 4 hr limit on how long an OB patient could stay in triage or needed to be d/c home or admitted to a L&D bed.

This was a 12 shift day and night in- house position. No call, no labor or delivery duties except an occasional precip delivery in triage because the patient was too close to transfer into another room. – less

Working M-F in outpatient radiology services was very enjoyable
Mammographic Technologist (Former Employee), Rockville Centre, NY –
Pros: great radiography school, close to home, pleasure working with doctors
Cons: inadequate lunch breaks, delays in biopsies, nonproficient management
Overall Mercy was a pleasant atmosphere to work in. Clean and reasonably paced patient schedule. I enjoyed working for and with the Radiologists. The most rewarding aspect of being a mammo tech is servicing the public. I enjoy working with patients giving them the utmost patient care making sure their experience is as pleasant
as possible with the ensuing – more...  breast exam. On the contrary, the management team was not the most proficient; there were constant inconsistencies in protocol and unfortunately coming from different sources. Scheduling of breast biopsies was unfair to both the patient and the mammo tech and at times the surgeon involved. I recall patients waiting up to an hour or more before the biopsy ensued due to the surgeon and/or radiologist delay. This further added to patient anxiety knowing a breast biopsy is forthcoming. As a result the mammo techs often did not get adequate time to eat lunch also. I don't believe the mammo tech should have had to run specimens to the lab. A designated lab asst. should collect from all departments that require specimen analysis. Ultimately, I found a place to work with reliable adept management, steady hours including lunch breaks and a higher salary. It however, was a pleasure working close to home and having my weekends off. Being a graduate of the MMC School of Radiography in Aug 2000, I would have loved to have continued working for Mercy. Ironically due to a lay off in 2009 at my former place of employment, I am currently seeking full or even part time employment now in mammography. It is my passion but I have been unfortunate in doing so in today's economy. – less

Challenging
Operator (Current Employee), Canton, OH –
Pros: decent pay
Cons: wrapping silverware
The food service operator talks with patient's about their diets and what food choices are available to them. In this position I have learned to enter data into the heathtouch system, which is put into patient's medical charts. As in any job you do your best to get along with everyone, we are a team. Management in this department is very strict. You – more...  have to realize we are working with patient's food allergies and if given the wrong food it could result in a patient becoming very ill. I have learned alot, from talking to patient's, entering information into Medtech, to learning what different diets are.
I find it enjoyable to be of service to the patient's, they are here because they are sick and someties a kind voice and something as simple as a meal will make their stay less stressful. – less

The former president was there for a career and knew everyone! Not as familiar with current administration, but they seemed reasonable. in retrospect I would have never left. It is hard to find a place like this to work.

The Office Manager of Radiology is HORRIBLE.
Patient Care Tech (Current Employee), Cedar Rapids, IA –
Pros: mercy is awesome!!
Cons: radiology office manager immature/unprofessional
As a past employye I can tell you if you are hired in the office part of radiology the manager is horrible. She has no business managing people. She uses tactics with her employees to tattle on one another to maintain control.

All other aspects of Mercy is WONDERFUL, but I would avoid the radiology office part!!!

One of the most caring health care institutions I've ver been involved with.
Surgical Technologist (Former Employee), Springfield, MA –
Mercy has the ability to adapt and grow without the associated growing pains of ultra-large hospitals. Interestingly, its employees are "in stride" with the process and even promote it for the betterment of their patinents and community. It was a pleasure to work there.
