Productive hardworking staff
Registered Respiratory Therapist (Current Employee), Columbus, OH – May 11, 2013
Pros: great learning environment
Cons: understaffed
Hard working staff members who care strongly for the pediatric population they work with, the co-workers are smart friendly and enjoyable to be around. Managment is overall good to work with and open minded. Hardest part of the job is being understaffed most days.

wasn't the greatest
room service ambassador (Former Employee), Columbus, Ohio – April 5, 2013
Cons: low pay and the staff
I worked here briefly, back in 2011. I was working here and another hospital at the same time. During the interview process I was told I'd be working a part time schedule which was fine to me. But once I got in the door I was scheduled full-time hrs. I was working 2 full-time jobs and taking care of 3 kids. My schedule at children's changed frequently – more... without notice. On my 3rd day of training my trainer called off wrk and instead of them pairing me with someone else they put me out there by myself. I had 2 cover 3 floors and then management had the nerve 2 get irritated with me because I was running behind. I left a week later. The hours and pay were just not worth it. I was better off working part time as a waitress. I never saw my kids which really killed me inside. The staff wasn't very friendly at all. They talked about each other badly. And the girl whom trained me was the worse. She always complained about how she hated her job. She was always on her phone and hiding out in secluded places. She was terrible. – less

The best of the best
Respiratory Therapist/Pediatric Intensive Care (Current Employee), PICU – March 4, 2013
Pros: flexible managment, safety first, we care
Cons: pay but the benefits are very good
A typical workday at childrens is every bit of amazing. To participate and watch health care providers provide the top care to patients and their families. It is a great place to work and I feel that for the most part the managment is fair. For the work that is done the pay is a bit under most hospitals but I do feel that this is because we work with – more... children and sometimes you may not get as much reinbursement from our services but here it doesnt matter. We give every child the best care that can be provided and it is a privilage to be an employee here. – less

I made my work day fun
Patient Account Representative (Former Employee), Columbus, OH – February 11, 2013
Pros: the flexibility
Cons: management
A typical work day would be run your precert report and then get your coffee while the report is running. Check your voice mail for client or insurance calls. Then work your report while calling back the clients or the insurance companies.

A great place to work.
Administrative Assistant, and Coordinator (Former Employee), Columbus, OH – January 5, 2013
Pros: health-oriented, good health benefits and opportunities.
Cons: they appear to put more money into marketing than into staff benefits.
Diverse organization, with many wonderful staff. Employees stay many years here. Regardless of position, staff all give information and aid to the families and patients.

Long Hours, No Room For Advancement
Patient Care Assistant (Former Employee), Columbus, OH – December 9, 2012
Cons: always short staffed, long hours, lucky if you get a lunch break
I worked in the PICU for over 2 years-sometimes working 56+ hours PER WEEK because the staffing was horrible. Turn over with RN's & PCA's were very high & moral was low. Management was poor & no room for advancement & the only way to transfer was if you were an RN.

Great Company
Electroencephalogram Technician (Current Employee), Columbus, OH – December 5, 2012
I have worked at Nationwide Children's hospital for seven years and I have enjoyed working for this company. I feel like when I go to children's that I am attending a family reunion not a day on the job. The hardest part of the job is seeing some of the families after they have suffered a loss.

Great culture, you will work hard & feel good about helping kids
Trainer (Current Employee), Columbus, OH – October 24, 2012
The culture is focused strongly on values and ultimately helping patients (children) and their families.

Collaboration and communication within the organization (between staff to management, between departments/units, between discliplines) needs to greatly improve.

The 3 Benefits I have found working here
1) Resources
- Seem to never have enough needed – more... (money, time, people)

2) Experience
- You will gain alot because you will do alot (due to limited resources) that you might not do in other organizations, which is great for a resume.

3) Security
- Definitely a great strength in this organization. If you do well here, you will continue to have a job and other opportunities.

At the end of the day you will be paid less for what you might otherwise do at a for-profit institution (Nationwide Children's Hospital is a non-profit), but you will feel good about your job and have a few perks along the way (if you have time in your day to participate in free wellness/exercise programs, etc.). – less

Great Place to Work
Travel Respiratory Therapist (Current Employee), Columbus, Ohio – October 18, 2012
Pros: excellent understanding managers
Cons: short staffed
At Nationwide Children's the staff is extremely accepting, helpful and friendly. Management was unbelievably helpful in working to provide a balanced work/home life for me which was so refreshing after spending years at a facility that did not respect employee's time away from work. I loved the patient population. It was always a joy to care for these – more... wonderful kids. The hardest part of the job was seeing the heartbreaking stories of what these children have been through and to see them suffer with various illnesses. – less
