Learn the beginning process of Lab assistant I was new employee to this site after my externship. Work lot and got helpful employee. I got experience to draw adult, pediatric newborn. I got difficult patient.I manage to work in stress enviornment

We were kept busy. Learning new skills came every day. Great place to work.

The PAMF physicians are amazing, however, as far as employees go, there is not a great deal of room for advancement. All employes are replaceable.

As a staff nurse in the Internal Medicine/Family Practice dept's, I provided direct patient care, assisted with office procedures, provided telephone triage and also patient education. The most enjoyable part of the job was having a great working relationship with the physician who's practice I supported and also the relationships that I developed with – more... the long time patients.
I later moved in an administrative role as a Nurse Manager of the medical sub-speciality departments. I was responsible for hiring and supervising the training of new nursing staff. I also supervised the daily work of the nursing staff in my departments and worked with the nurses and physicians to develop policies and procedures that were department specific. Under the supervision of my Director, I prepared the annual budgets for my departments.
The most enjoyable part of my job was mentoring the nursing staff who reported to me. The most challenging part of my job was keeping all aspects of my departments running smoothly. – less

I love working with the mangers and doctors. Everyone are very friendly and always keeping a smile on their faces.

Good place to work, friendly user computer system. Manager was giving a lot of supports for the department, co-worker were friendly. Lost my job because the company relocated in Sacramento

answering phones all day and answering billing questions. manager has her favorites too.

the most enjoyable part of my work is helping physicians and nurses out with there difficulties in hyperspace

The managers stay out of your hair and let you do your work, which is nice. But, too much red tape to get any change in schedule/procedure. The time clock system is a joke, flagging you for being 1 minute late, or for returning from break early(?).

the work flow was pretty easy, i liked my manager and co-workers. the job is not hard at all

Great Organization to work for but unfortunately I have moved and need to find something closer to my home.

Our out patient clinic was very busy, seeing 4-6 patients for each nurse. I learned to stop and "see" the patient, in a busy setting. Sincere understanding of patient fears and needs was encouraged. We could follow though to meet their medical and emotional needs. I enjoyed our pot lucks. The hardest part of my job was saying goodbye.

Review issues and solutions related to accurate and efficient processing of payroll.

Exellent place to work ,great people, exellent benefits. and really good doctors.

Work place is fun, able to grow. some co workers are not doing what they are supposed to do. I enjoy helping patients, the hardes part is when i was unable to accommodate the patient's request

A typical day starts at 8am to remove and apply cast or splints on patients that have broken bones. Every day is a learning experience because every patients is different and all have there own story to tell. My co-workers here are very nice and friendly everybody seams to get along well. The toughest part of my day is when we get a large amount of – more... patients with broken bones, and because i'm the only cast tech the rush of 4 different doctors sending me patients can get rough but a challenge is always good. – less

There are no typical days working in a medical clinic. Everything can change on a dime. Typically, someone will call in sick and schedules have to be re-worked so doctors will be covered. Management does what they can to make everything function as smoothly as possible. Everyone works together as a team. The hardest part of this job is the time pressure – more... in getting patients in and keeping the doctors on time. However, the most rewarding part of what I do is making the patients feel cared for and making them feel a little better when they leave. – less
