I have had a great experience interning at this hospital. Doctors and Nurses have been wonderful
Internship, Health Unit Coordinator (Former Employee), Daly City, CA – May 7, 2013
Pros: a typical 8 hour day goes by very quickly because you are so busy.
Cons: cafateria closes at 2 pm.
Well organized, I had a great time learning to read Doctors orders. Management were helpful and friendly. My preceptor is awesome. Doctors handwritting is the hardest part of the job, but I enjoyed the learning experience and all the challanges that came with it.

HORRIBLE NUCLEAR MEDICINE DEPARTMENT
Nuclear Medicine Tech (Former Employee), Nuclear Medicine – February 28, 2013
Pros: quittin' time
Cons: nuclear staff, ancient equipment, incompetance "across the board"!
The Nuclear techs currently working there are LAZY and uninterested in their work! They make it a very hostile place for all newcomers; they have been looking for another Nuclear tech there for over 5 years! (I know, I was one of the many that worked there and quit the job within the 1st year).
The hospital is financially unstable; mass lay-offs of – more... nurses and support staff over the last 2 years. The C.F.O. just quit a few months back, and other upper management are "abandoning ship"! A merger with a large hospital chain was cancelled due to lack of financial stability.
But, the big reason to NEVER join SATAN (oops, I mean SETON) is because the Nuclear Medicine Dept is disfunctional from TOP to BOTTOM! RUN, don't walk! – less

Seton Medical Center Austin is a nice place to work. I love my nurse manager.
Staff Nurse, Mother/Baby Unit (Former Employee), Autin – August 27, 2012
A typical day at work- daily routine work is pretty much the same as with other hospital. Assessement of patiets, review of patients charts to check for current MD orders, check plan of care, admission and discharge of patients.

What I learned---- Seton is very much concerned to make sure that the staff nurses know what they are doing are current with – more... their nursing training,and knowledge.Continuing education is the key.

Management---My nurse manager is cool and awesome. I enjoyed my employment with Seton Medical Center Austin because of her. She is very nice,and made me feel welcomed and accepted as a new employee. It just make me feel to comeback and work again at Seton.

My co-workers--Most of them were nice and helpful.

The hardest part of job---The job is pretty much routine. Sometimes it is hard and impossible to please and make every single patient happy.

The most enjoyable part of job---Patients' satisfaction. When the patient is satisfied with my sercive that gives me a big smile on my face. – less

Hard place to work in. Favoritism
Sales Exec (Former Employee), Austin, TX – May 29, 2012
Pros: love the doctors, some of the best.
Cons: short breaks, micro management, treat employees like children.
The managers micro manage, some are mean and one manager gets away with everything including harassment of employees. Some managers will lie on their employees, talk down to them and some will block employees from transferring to another department.There's one dept that does not hire a variety of people of different ethnic backgrounds, only hires Hispanics – more... and the turnover in that department is horrible. HR is horrible and very non supportive even if an employee has valid proof of being harassed by one of their so called, high profiled managers. – less

Sad to leave
Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee), Austin, TX – April 25, 2012
I was sad to leave, the people and job was great. But I was working nights and they refused to let me come back to days. I was told that "we are working on it", and 6 months later no one was even interviewed for my position.
