Mercy Medical Center Employer Reviews

More and more veins. There is a Starbucks in the hospital. That is nice.

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.

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

Its a nice place to work and I learned alot while working here

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

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

My typical day at work was to clean all areas assigned to me on a daily basis.

Enjoyed working here. Everyone is so nice and dedicted to gettting the job done.

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.

Cleaning all day, i learned sanitizing requirements.
My managers were ?
I enjoyed working with my co workers, good people.

Loved working with people that were working on the same degrees as me.

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!!!

It was a great place to work and I learned a lot volunteering there

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.

Mercy Medical Center lends itself to growth for all disciplines and level of workers. The facility is seeking to expand its delivery of service and to become a Stroke Center.

Good relationship with nurses and supervisors. Had opportunity to advance to be a RN, but had a baby.

I enjoyed the fast pace and turn over of patients. Might be some of the same patients over and over but it was always changing.

Mercy Medical Center was a good work environment and offered excellent benefits. There were many learning opportuniies as well as opportunities for advancement within the facility.

This position was a pleasant one. The people I worked with were very professional. Everyone got along with each other. The providers were aslo very pleasant.
