St. Mary's Hospital Employer Reviews

A typical day at work will consist of helping out staff and management. Keeping busy is what I like. I enjoy working in a friendly, and productive place where I can learn from co-workers and we are a team.

A typical morning was spent monitoring SMNP logs, firewall logs and WAN links. The afternoon we would move to project, upgrades looking at blueprints, etc... Always something different.

I liked St. Mary's because it was a busy place. I was frustrated because they had never used an anesthesia tech before and wouldn't let me practice my skills. I did enjoy assisting in the pain clinic because I love working directly with patients. I loved Grand Juntion.

Hours are 2100-0700, start my shifts with QC the instruments, calibrating if needed. A lot of my work is ER, then in- patient testing. At 0500 the morning run starts, which I due most of the specimens by 0700. Night shift requires that I must be able to rotate in all departments, have the knowledge of producing correct results and questioning whether – more...  or not the result is valid. I work with one other person, so I have to communicate well, help, and work with minimal supervision. The hardest part of my job is when it gets very busy, my co worker is tied up in BB with a bleeder, I am doing the work in the other sections myself. What I enjoy the best in my job is the satifaction of getting the results out within the TAT, and I know that I am saving lives.By working nights I have learned a lot on trouble shooting instruments,how to multi task extremely well, work well under pressure, know that I know the results are correct and my co work also is correct, and that I have a great time working. Our management has been good. – less

I worked for Christus St Mary in Port Arthur, Texas since December 4, 1995. I was terminated without hesitation due to family and health issues. I was not treated with dignity and respect by the ER
Director/manager or Chief Nursing Officer whom I've known my total career or 16 years. My co-workers are like family and we helped each other through the – more...  good and bad times, just ask them about my work ethics. I worked 12 hour shifts form 7pm to 7am, it was always busy, most of the time hectic at the beginning of the shift. No support from Management as far as adequate staffing or needs of
equipment and supplies. When concerns or issues were voiced they were "sweeped under the rug" therefore we were left to one another to make things work as safely as possible for our patients and I PRAYED alot mostly to myself. Me and my co-workers got the job done together with teamwork and support from each other. – less

I loved everyone I worked with here, very kind and caring atmosphere at the Cancer Center. I just wish PRN hours could have been more evenly divided so I could have afforded to stay. But I realize the Department was actually overstaffed and was glad to have people retiring without having to replace then with FTE.

I was fired for something I didn't do; those that fired me would not believe that I hadn't violated HIPPA rules - evidently a very unhappy co-worker turned me in. As coordinator of an ongoing physician weekly meeting, I spent many unpaid hours at this facility making sure all documents were copied and in order.

From the day I set foot on the 5th floor I felt welcomed and part of a team. The nurse manager and the other nurse were available always to me to help my nursing practice grow. I'm thankful for my experience with St. Mary's.

No day is typical, however it is a pleasure to work with patients and their family members to assist in problem solving. Management allows employees to express feelings, suggestions and concerns without consequence.
Most difficult aspect of job is losing a patient.

It was a good place to work but personally feel everything isnt on equal playing feilds

Professional techs and I learn about Immunostains, how a day in a lab can be, learning to adapt to new labs, following safety protocols, learning to use new immuno stain machines along with automated stainers, entering in specimen information using Soft Path program, using Microsoft words, Exel spread sheet.

I loved my boss here. Wish that she was still there. I like working on all the floors it gave me a chance to figure out what kind of a nurse I would really like to be.

Typical Day starts at 7am with a busy pace. Rounding on your pts every 2 hrs and providing the best of care that you can give. Your patients mental, physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual well being is of the utmost importance. Providing safe nursing care and providing excellent customer services. My Moto has always been"Treat people the way – more...  you want to be treated and not forgetting that the patient in your care could be your mother, father, grandmother."
I've been a Clinic RN for about 20 years and so going back into the hospital environment was interesting. Lots of things changed and I had to start fresh. I really enjoyed the whole experience. – less
