Providence Hospital Employer Reviews

Overall, this workplace taught me to manage my time and be very patient with customer because regardless if you are right they will always feel and be right. The co-workers were very helpful and assisted me when I did not understand a certain task or situation. It was a great work experience.

Working in the laundry dept. was fun. The workers are friendly!

A typical day at work is being productive, I've learned to have patience with others, management is available, works well with co-workers. There's nothing hard about what you enjoy doing. I enjoy the public (patients). Having people skills is most important.

The salary is on par with the other hospitals in Columbia. The mission statement and values are great, but the upper management fail to follow the mission statement and goals. The hospital provides no training for new graduates, and rarely schedules their PRN employees, despite the fact that they only hire new employees PRN (presumably so that they – more... do not have to offer retirement/ benefits). If you are promoted to full-time, you can still expect to be called off regularly because the hospital has such a low census. Even with full-time employment at providence, you will make more money as an administrative assistant at a doctor's office. The management fail to properly train staff/ maintain sufficient morale. If you have experience and this is your only option, then this may be the place for you, but if you are a recent graduate, stay away. It's difficult for management to train you if they never leave their office! – less

Enjoy working with patients one on one. Learning daily about the individual and managing the patient with love and courtesy. Had no hardships only on restrainting patient that are no harm but can injured themselves

The hospital is a good place to work due to the friendly enviroment with the staffs. The respiratory director is just too selfish. She hired for PRN but pay you for full time position with no benefit. She only thinks about herself. She do not allow her staffs to advance. She plays favoritism with the staffs that gossip with her.

A typical day at work was many times being the only CNA assigned to the floor being responsible for between 15 & 30 patients. That was a very challenging assignment to say the least. I learned people skills, the need for compassion and patience. As for the management, again, it was challenging at times but I was always told that I was among the best – more... CNA's they had ever worked with. I enjoyed my co-workers and they enjoyed working with me also. The most challenging part of the job was the additional stress due the fact of cutting back on employees which creates additional responsibility. This created an internal struggle to maintain my own standards of job integrity especially due to the fact that I was dealing with human life. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting a variety of people and assisting them in the time of their need. – less

Working at a hospital has put a lot into perspective for me. Since it is a childrens hospital I do see a lot of sick kids, and instead of going to work feeling like I dont want to be there, I put a smile on my face because at that moment someone elses life is way more complicated right now. My management works really well to give the customers what – more... they want and we never tell a customer no. Most already hear bad news and we dont want them to fell like they cant have something. The most enjoyable part of the job I have now is seeing the kids who just are enjoying life, they are so young and probably have no clue how seriously sick they are and they still just want to have fun and smile all the time. – less

I really enjoyed working with the patients and everyone in Radiology was willing to help us learnbanything and incoouraged us to go to college, very friendly and nice staff to work around, I liked the fact how much they really cared about their patients.

Average case load would involve me doing anywhere from 5 big cases to 10. This was the first faith based hospital I had worked in and I very much enjoyed the experience and how the emphasis was on compassion and care. My co- workers were knowledgable and always professional. A good team to work with. Hardest part was the call and location of facility – more... in the downtown area. The best part of this job was the charity that the Sister's extended to the staff, community and facility. – less

I worked for this place for 7 months it was horrible favortisim made it impossible for me to be treated fair managment was friends with certain cnas makeing it hard to be a fair enviornment on top of how they set you up & put you in bad positions & spread your personal medical information its a clean place that's the only good thing & one of the Lpn's – more... was a nusance & was very disrespectful. – less

I enjoy my work as an RN but working at Providence Hospital has not been a good experience for me.
The management seems to be very poor. Staff nurses are not involved in decision making for new changes and changes about the hospital policies are not communicated well with staff.
The hardest part of this job was working under a lot of pressure with out – more... enough staffing and not having enough equipment for quality patient care.
One skill I learn the most from this job is a good time management skill. I also learned how to work under a lot of pressures with out adequate staffing.
The most enjoyable part of this job is being able to give compassionate patient care and learning that I make a difference on peoples life. – less

Same as Providence Park duties. Just relocated to a new hospital

A quality hospital, that strives for continued excellence in patient care.

I worked here for a total of about 3 1/2 months in the ER registration, and would have to say this was the worst job I have ever worked. To start the pay was absolutely horrible for the amount of BS I had to deal with. You barely get paid over minimum wage. However, I still gave it a shot because of the great benefits package they offered. So to start – more... with the misery, if you enjoy eating lunch like a normal person does this is not the place for you. There was never 1 day I was able to step away and even attempt to eat. One thing that was a big factor in my reasoning to leave was when I asked the so called supervisor if I could take my lunch and eat my food while it was hot she pitched a fit like a 3 year old, snatched my patients paperwork out of my hand (the whole time the patient is sitting in front of me watching this) and told me to "just go eat your d**n food." Another reason for quitting was when again the so called supervisor would go into her computer and change my time without telling me, so I would not get paid for the overtime that I worked due to my relief never showing up for their shifts on time. This was on more than one occasion. Finally, what drew the line for me was after my probation period was up I asked my "supervisor" why I had not received my insurance cards yet and I was told I never filled out the paperwork for insurance and that I would have to wait a whole year for open enrollment to come back around. Which was a lie because I filled the paperwork out my very first day and turned it in to the supervisor. So yes, if you are considering working in the emergency room registration at providence hospital I would defiantly recommend you looking around for something better first... – less

I am a student interning. At this point I am shadowing the HIM Director and gaining extensive knowledge that will prepare me for my transition into the work force once I graduate May,2013

A typical day at work is to follow up on rejected or denied claims.
compile rejected descriptions per clinic in a spreadsheet to educate clinics on how to bill correctly for prompt payments

Team work environment, learned a lot about working together as a team, very pleasant place to work. The atmosphere was accommodating.

I worked all three shifts, but my favorite was third! During every shift, my job duties were to take vital signs including weight checks, record input and output, assist with putting in and taking out folleys, change linens, assist with meal preparations and feedings, bathing, check blood sugars, report any changes to nurse, and any other job tasks – more... asked. I truely enjoyed my experience while working here. – less
