North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System Employer Reviews

Productive and interesting workplace. I have more knowledge in Peoplesoft application and expense reports.

There are excellent aspects about this place.

Importantly, it's in the black. [Most hospitals aren't, so they always cry poverty--especially with respect to salary and raises. (I'm looking at *you*, Winthrop, South Nassau and CHNLI.) Same goes for nonprofits in general.]

The organization is relatively stable, though the effects of new healthcare regulations – more... on the bottom line remain to be seen. The organization saw that coming and planned for it--so that's something.

No raise for the hoi-polloi last year, but there was a "bonus" check. This year, the usual 2.5% raise.

The place is GIGANTIC (45000 employees) and there are a lot of silos. Some silos are great and others are miserable, depending on the manager. – less

This is a large and rapidly growing health system, adapting to rapid changes in the health care landscape. The NSLIJ Health System transitioning to the health prevention mode for health care, which is a complex transition for a company which has been primarily involved in the provision of disease/health condition treatment.

The health system has the – more... advantage of being very culturally diverse, which presents the challenges of being able to tailor services to many population groups. – less

NSLJ was a great place to work. I made great friendships, learned alot of new thing. Found a newe respect for managment they work so hard and deal with alot.

I felt that the company and the leaders were not receptive to
new employees. They are very clannish. They
do not respect other people's time. Once you
are employed there, you are married to the job.
You are bombarded with paper work and emails.
A practitioner needs a secretary to function in
that organisation. The patient load is unreasonable.
As a – more... psych NP you have to address both psych and
medical issues. You are told by the medical
attending 'it is not my job'
Mind you, you have 11 primary patients. They want you, the NP to discharge patients that
you were not treating on other units. Sometimes you are
covering patients on two other unit and write the discharge
summaries.
I left because I became sick. Time off is very problematic. – less

I just began working here. On orientation in which they pay RNs with 10+ years experience $120/day for one week. Then when you are shadowing another RN you don't get paid at all!!!! Then when I finally do get paid because I need to push myself off orientation to get paid- the pay totally sucks!! It's way below cost-of-living level. I've lived in smaller – more... cities and got paid substantially more. It gives me the horrible impression that NSLIJ doesn't value skilled training or moving on in education for that matter. I definitely don't feel like a valued employee when I have to work for free as an expectation. I will be looking elsewhere. – less

NSLIJ is a great company to work for. The company offers great benefits and salaries. There are many different corporate offices and facilities so there are many different employee experiences. Personally, I work in an office that is your typical office structure and it is what you make of it. Co-workers are a pleasure to work with.

Physicians are constantly asked to see more patients with less support. No work-life balance. No salary increases for years, not even cost-of -living adjustments despite promised by CCMC administration at faculty meeting.

I have learned about the actual management of what goes into the "case" from Discharge Planning to Case Management onto Managed Care Coordinator to being discharged back into the community.
An extraordinary amount of work goes into each and every case.

There is never at typical day at work. Every day is a new challenge. I organize all aspects of my department. Multi-tasking is a must and sometimes it can be overwhelming. My co-workers are like family. The whole Glen Cove facility is like family. When things get difficult, there is always someone willing to help in a pinch. Even our doctors don't mind – more... getting behind the desk to help. We are a great team. North Shore LIJ Health Systems is all about team work and outstanding patient care. – less

No work/life balance.I was told by my
Supervisor "Yes this is a 24hr job and
yes you need to do work on Summer
Vacations and days off!!" I was called
constantly on my days off.Not a
pleasant work environment.Not
appreciated.

North shore home care is horrible.
What happened to American's with
Disabilities Act?

24 hour job. No work/life balance!
Forced to perform documentation on
Summer vacations and days off.
Constantly called on days off. Forced
To perform clinical skills for which I
Was not adequately trained which
resulted in dangerous patient care for
Which I almost lost my nursing license.
No HR department to go to to discuss
And resolve problems.Denied
to – more... take days off to see my GI specialist
after asking for a day off in advance.
Management knew of my Crohn's
Disease and could see my 50 pound
visible weight loss. – less

Review list of priorities, juggle priorities
Review my boss' schedule and my schedule
Get an idea who and who has not arrived at the lab
Coordinating investigators to speak with visiting speakers
Organizing, prioritizing, meeting new people, physicians, scientists, and technicians

Working for NSLIJ, gives me the opportunity care for patients and make them feel comfortable in their most vulnerable time of need and be safe in an unfamiliar envirnment. Nothing makes me more happier than seeing patients happy with the care that i provided and complimenting the wonderful staff memebers amongst me.

A typical day at work is fast pace i work in the E.R. I see alot and do alot to keep the ball rolling. I love to learn new things so the experience is fabulous and rewarding! My coworkers are very nice and management is always available, the hardest part is growing in the department. The Most enjoyable part of my job is the quality care we provide to – more... the patients and the self starter part! – less

10-12 patients per day.In charge of scheduling and all aspects of lab management, including maintaining equipment , ordering supplies, etc.

I learned a lot interning at LIJ and would love to work there again in the future.

A typical day at work would be answering phones to doctors and hospitals for patients' results which could get busy at the beginning but gradually slows down later at night when most doctor offices are closed. What I have learned from working at this job is helping clients and physicians with results and learning how to be more outgoing over the phone – more... and in person to help the clients and physicians with what they need to make them better. My co-workers were very nice and whenever I needed help or they needed help, we were always helping each other out in each and every way. The hardest part of the job would be working the late night shift when there is only one or two people and gets very busy without the help of our supervisor. The most enjoyable part of the job would be knowing that I am helping out clients. I also enjoyed the fact when there would field trips to our laboratory for younger people so that they can learn more about the laboratory field while in summer camps. – less

I investigate and resolve duplicate patient records throughout the health system. I maintain open communication with the HIM and Registration departments regarding the notification of merged duplicates to assure the completion of the physical chart merging. I also work with vendors to test system enhancements and modifications.
