San Jacinto Methodist Hospital Employer Reviews

For such a small hospital, the laboratory is a very busy place that really helps a laboratorian develope their skills in all areas of the laboratory. The Methodist system of hospitals also has an established environment of positive reenforcement.

The laboratory does sometimes need more help and the work to life balance is often not a priority.

Very intresting, everyday new findings, as a Microbiology Lab Tech. Learned a lot of microbiology techniques. Experience was good also because there was great team work and collaboration.The hospital decided to close the micro department and consolidate with main facility in the Medical Center.

A typical day was greeting and meeting new faces. I really enjoyed being a receptionist for San Jacinto Medical.

Answered phones, scheduled patient and Doctor testing, ordered department supplies, greeted customers, did reports, filing, all clerical duties for administration. Learned about Cardiology, Pulmonology and Neurology. Learned about breathalyzer testing, EEG's, EKG's, stress testing, PFT's and many other testing. The hardest part would be seeing the sick – more... patients that came to our department for testing. The co-workers were part of a team, and it was like a family in our department. – less

I thought it was like a Stepford Hospital, because everyone was so friendly and helpful. I wanted to do an unpaid observership in cardiology there because of the people, and I've been working at San Jac ever since!

good scheduling
learned to do OT notes properly
able to supervise other OTs and COTAs
very nice co-workers
weekend work
enjoyed the salary

I would be assigned 10-15 patients, every shift. I was to adminster meds, do wound care, hang IV's, and take care of Hospice patients. Management was not very helpful. They stayed in their office and wouldn't address staff issues. I did enjoy my co-workers we worked well together. The hardest part of that job was to volume of patients.

A typical day at work starts before the sun is up. At four am you are to complete morning labs before doctors get to the patients charts. I have learned a lot about good team work, positive thinking and how to manage time wisely in order to complete multiple tasks on time. My management is not always willing work with their employees and sometimes make – more... it difficult to advance in my area of expertise. My co-workers however, are wonderful people to work with. Always helpful and friendly and never complain about the work load. The hardest part of my job is my supervisor unwilling to help advance and better the employees. Training is always available to those who ask for it, but if you want to move up, forget it. The most enjoyable part of my job is helping the patient be at ease and make the most of any day I am at work. Whether it is with another employee or with a patient, I am always eager to help. – less

Working in a 12 hour shift with well trained and dedicated staff. Provide high quaulity nursing care. Good work balance and private life.

Have a great staff to work with. The management seems more worried about moving patients thru the system then the quality of care. All they worry about is scores, not that you just saved a life or that a dying person was alone and you stayed at their bedside. They have taking the caring out of nursing and I don't see that getting any better.

San Jac was a nice place to work. Its a nice medium sized hospital with a welcoming feel. Benefits are awesome with 403b, Designated Contribution fund, PTO with sell back, Bonuses, and employee recognition that comes pretty regularly. However, you have to stay on your toes. As with any employment situation there are those that look for reasons to get – more... others in trouble and administration will not stand behind you. – less

Great place to work. Very positive work environment. Friendly and supportive co-workers.

working with approxametly 40 co workers, very busy days supervising and making sure things are done in a timely manner.

Fast paced everyday. Can be stressful at time. Caring co workers. The hardest part is coping with death. The most enjoyable is watching patients as they get well day by day.
