Coworkers: Excellent- supportive of each other and helpful.
Hardest part of job- seeing some of the patients pass-on.
Most enjoyable- – more... knowing that I was able to make others feel comfortable. – less

Worked night shift, busy unit, co-workers supportive and good team work. Management supportive and listens to what you have to say. UMC is the County Hospital for Las Vegas so wide variety of patients from different walks of life.

cleaned pots pans and dishes of patients. good pay for the work i was doing

A typical day at work includes review patient’s brief case history with nursing staff, check for physician orders, transport patients to and from test locations in various departments in the hospital. I also transport medical equipment, lab specimens, and medications to various departments within the hospital.
I walk about 8-10 miles in an 8 hour work – more... shift. I have learned to sympathize with patients I come across. I have also become a great team player. Here at the hospital its all about teamwork and communication. I enjoy working with my co-workers. I don't feel like there is a "hard" part at my job. I don't mind all the walking, even though I may be tired. The hardest part maybe seeing patients in really bad conditions but working at UMC, I know they are in good hands. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to know different patients all the time. Some I may see year around, on and off, but seeing them get better and get to go home is the best part! The patients get to know me as me and not just a transporter. UMC has always worked with my school schedule, which allowed me to change my work schedule around my school schedule. UMC was ranked among Top 10% of Nation for Outstanding Patient Experience. – less

Challenging learning in ICU. Able to learn up to date treatment for medical and surgical conditions at the time.

UMC has many benefits for employees, most importantly a high quality caring staff for the patients and their families.
UMC is my choice as a hospital in Lubbock

This company is a great company when it comes to training their employees and offering career advancement. Here you have contact with many doctors nurses and staff that will gladly help you succeed.

Love making the patients feel comfortable. Communication can be a little better between my co-workers. There can be alot of add on cases late in the evening but they are mostly easy cases. The turn overs have to be quick and easy to be ready for the next case

I love talking with patients taking them to rooms helping them calm down about what they were there for I just reall liked the job

Best job anyone in this line of work could ask for. Most nights would go about the same, id come in and do routine vitals on my 10-15 patients while getting anything else they needed or required. Around midnight the doctors would put in orders for blood drawls or ekgs that they would need for the next day. By 4 am most patients are sleeping and only – more... require assistance in getting water or to go to the bathroom. Learned a lot about people, medicine and how to work well under stressful situations. the most enjoyable part of the job was going to work. – less

Worked 7p-7a for seven straight days. Had fun working with the children patients.

Couldn't have asked for a better place for the experience working in the trauma center...

A TYPICAL WORK DAY IS EXTREMELY BUSY. YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO ADAPT TO EVERY SITUATION QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY. MY COWORKERS ARE PRETTY GOOD AT KEEPING UP WITH THE WORKLOAD BUT TEAMWORK IS A DEFINITE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED. THE WORST PART ABOUT THIS JOB IS THE SURVEYS THAT COULD DETERMINE YOUR EMPLOYMENT IN MY AREA. THERE IS A LIMIT TO HOW MANY – more... YOU CAN GET AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY TO COUNT AGAINST YOU WHICH IT CAN BE PRETTY EASY TO ACHIEVE TERMINATION IN MY DEPARTMENT BECAUSE PATIENTS ARE ALWAYS FRUSTRATED AND IRRITATED. – less

I enjoyed my everyday work routine, chasing homeless individuals from the hospital.
I enjoy playing tennis and exercise.

My day at work consist of dispatching and transporting patients from their origin to their destination in a timely manner, while ensuring their safety as well. Hardest part of my job is handling ccu/icu patients. They have to be handled with extra care because of there conditions and that can make the job much more difficult. At the same time it makes – more... the job that much more enjoyable because you know you're helping an individual who is truely in need. – less

Great coworker's and great place to work. UMC is always looking ways to create a better working eviroment and also making sure the patients are always comfortable.

High population of one culture. management uninvolved. Enjoyed caring for the patients.

I volunteer about 4 hours each week. Every time I go in, I'm greeted very nicely from all my co-workers which always encourages me. They created a very friendly environment to work in and are always ready to answer any questions I may have.

I really enjoyed working here ... I got to see patients get better. I started working here directly after getting out of school.

Staying busy is a must for me and working at UMC was great! Helping others was joyful
