Lead technologist in IR
Interventional Radiology Technologist Lead (Former Employee), Fargo, ND – May 15, 2013
Pros: variety of procedures, support from radiologist
Cons: politics and drama
Difficult culture being the middle man betwen radiologist/manager/director/vice president/president and department, but definitely capabile.

I would definietely love to perform in a busy radiology setting again, but have learned how to appropriately handle the politics that are included (as with any department).

Work with many good people who care and go beyond their job title
Night Shift Supervisor (Current Employee), Bismarck, ND – April 26, 2013
Pros: unsure
Cons: unsure
Co-workers are a must to keep things all together. They are valuable and glad to have them. Passing medications, treatments, visiting with residents, cares and concern of residents and family. Work with co-workers to cover various needs by residents. Most enjoyable--working with people who need help and love and appreciate it. Hardest is being short – more... staffed where I really don't feel like a nurse. – less

Small town medical center with room to grow
Histology Technician (Former Employee), Aberdeen, SD – March 13, 2013
Pros: room to grow
Cons: small work load
Though the work load is light, there was plenty to do to develop the SOP's and prepare for the initial CAP inspection. The Co-workers are willing to learn and easy to get along with. It can be extremely boring at times.

HORRIBLE PAY FOR AMOUNT OF WORK
Registrar (Current Employee), sioux falls – January 21, 2013
I have worked for sanford for over a year and I'm starting to hate it more and more everyday. Sanford is very micromanaged and they don't treat their employees well. The insurance and pay is horrible. I have a 4 yr college degree and make under $11.00/hr. HORRIBLE! I don't recommend to anyone to work for Sanford there is a huge turn over rate.

Great people to work with and a nice working environment
Patient Scheduling Assistant (Current Employee), Bemidji, MN – January 10, 2013
Pros: lengthy lunch hour
Cons: low pay rate for the amount of work we do
At Sanford Health, I work with very plesant co-workers as well as great management that is very understanding. We are all on the same page and have a really good working environment.

On a typical work week in the two departments that I work for, we have many patients that come and go. We answer multiple phone calls as well as check in patients and – more... re-schedule appointments once they come out after their appointments.

The hardest part of my job is dealing with patients that are unhappy and are very needy. In the one particular department, we have many of these kind of patients. Having to deal with this on a daily basis has made me a very patient person though. Being able to listen to their needs and have a demeanor that can calm a patient down in situations when they are mad is another skill that I have learned from working here.

The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing a smile on the patients face when they come out from their appointment. This lets me know that the the nursing staff, doctors, and us schedulers have made this visit for these patients very pleasant and unforgetable. – less

Productive and nice work environment
Application Assistant/Super User (Former Employee), Bemidji, MN – August 10, 2012
Pros: decent pay
Cons: temporary position
I enjoyed this job. The typical day of work consisted of going through pages and pages of patient health history and inputting it into the new system they are trying to implement. My co-workers were awesome and helped the day go by fast. The hardest part of the job was the miscommunication between our site and another site.
