San Juan Regional Medical Center Employer Reviews

Good benefits and salary. Great educational benefits. Good team of clinic managers.

Applicant beware! There is no loyalty within this organization at all. Mangement is allowed to run over employees and have free rein to treat employees anyway they feel without any fear of being called on it by upper management.

Poor management and hostile work environment. The SJRMC values were not practiced by many in our department. I worked with some good people but most were caddie, back biting and selfish. Beautiful hospital but downer in staff and equipment available.

I worked swing shift at this hospital and it suited my lifestyle

A typical day would start at 6am three days a week and go til 6pm. I would get the report on each patient on Telemetry, approximately around 50 or 60 patients daily. Would call nurses for any problems that were monitored and interpreted by myself. I would inform Doctors how their patients were doing, and what changes i saw in their Cardiac rhythms. – more... Interpret what rhythm they were in. I would also add each Doctor order they wrote for each patient on Cardiology floor. The hardest part of the job was learning cardiology anatomy, there would always be something you learned each day. Managment was great, willing to help with any questions i might have. Trying to push us as a team for the best care for our patients. – less

Typical day at work would be pulling charts for the days procedures, ie, day surgery, radiology, while registering patients that came in for lab work and other clinical procedures, When a day surgery patient came in, I would pre-register them and collect any copays. When the flow would slow down, I would check my schedule and check which patients had – more... which insurances, and verified insurances and also obtained prior authorizations if needed. All of this is done, while answering the phone too. We had a number of managers come in and out of our department so it was kind of hard to adjust to. The hardest part of my job was getting through to insurance companies. Some days, I wouldn't be able to reach them, or get an authorization, and the patient would show up for their procedure. The most enjoyable part of my job would be the different duties we were tained in and got to do. We were also trained in the ER also. – less

Lack of management, and team work. Lots of backbiting, clique's unchallenged. No support from upper management.

I gained a great deal of experience in working at a hospital, however, the double standards, cliques, hostility and lack of proper equipment in our department was intolerable. Many of my co-workers were not happy working there but have stayed due to the economy.

The most enjoyable part of my job was in working with patients and their families. I liked – more... being able to help and make my patients comfortable, very humbling experience. – less

I don't really remember much, but I always got stuck in the elevator

Working nights I am responsible for up to 6 patients while overseeing the unit as a charge nurse. Medication administration, admissions, discharges, interventions, documentation, staffing are some of the duties I have. I love my co-workers just as much as my family. We have a tight net of teamwork. The hardest part of my job is seeing my beloved patients – more... that I have become close to, sick and unhealthy. It breaks my heart to see them ill. The most enjoyable part is working with great people and caring for my beloved patients. – less

Would not recommend working here. The upper management is not good. There is no such thing as one getting treated fairly for how they work, its all about who you know. Supervisor in the kitchen was wonderful

Treatment of employees was very poor and employees are overworked without much compensation or gratification. Administrators are abrupt and more concerned about monetary gain than patient care. Workers are encouraged by supervisors to rush to get jobs done instead of focusing on patient care.
