University of Nebraska Medical Center Employer Reviews

had fun at work it was easy to learn the procedures to follow. coworker were very nice and friendly willing to help out. The hardest part of the Job keeping up with some detials that felt that were miner but we had to do at a time limit. enjoy the friendship that the coworkers offer.

As a graduate student at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, I was given several opportunities for career advancement including teaching anatomy and neuroanatomy to other graduate students while pursuing my research endeavors.

Probably the most negative, and sometimes hostile work environment I have ever experienced. Management is very hands off and non responsive to concerns or complaints. Due to high census and lack of staff , often felt patient safety was an issue. It's really a shame because it could be a great place with better structure, organization, and managemen.

Never a dull moment at UNMC, because it was also a trauma center you got to see something new every day. Great Managers, superb coworkers everyone's a team player. A new learning experience awaits.

Fast but exciting days
Able to work with professional physicians.
Excellent Learning

Great lab environment. Worked on diverse projects. Supervised and trained students. Great Experience.

Worked cashier and stocked sodas and chips and also snacks. I learned how to use cashier and count money fast due to lunch and dinner hours. Hardest part was restocking all sodas from the basement. I really enjoyed the pay and the hours i got in a week(sometimes overtime) and the friendly regular customers.

What I liked about the job was the fact that there was a lot of collaboration between different research groups. All the researchers were willing to help and share there research and equipments. The environment was very friendly, which definitely made the work enjoyable. The hardest and the best part of the job was that we had to present research papers (from other groups) every week, and criticize/suggest what could have added to the research. I learnt a great deal and it further broadened my knowledge. – less

It is always an experience to learn new something everyday. Working in a health and education environment gave me a different outlook how critical it is to have the right equipment for the way research and hospitals operate.

I have been with the Nebraska Medical Center for 14 years, and i love the people that i have worked with since day one, everyone is professional and have the same goals toward making the customer priority one, its a fun environment with many learning opportunities.

A typical work day consists of running scientific experiments in a laboratory research setting with numerous interactions amongst peers and superiors. University of Nebraska Medical Center is a great place to work since there is strong emphasis on teaching entry level employees the necessary skills to succeed in their field. The management is terrific – more... at UNMC as they offer frequent feedback on employee progress and have a genuine desire to see their employees succeed on multiple levels of their lives. Co-worker camaraderie at UNMC is top notch and further contributes to the excellent work environment and to the overall success of the institution. The most difficult part of work at UNMC is divorcing oneself from so many creative and exciting projects in order to spend time doing other activities! While the most enjoyable part of the job is day to day interactions that occur amongst so many spirited and enthusiastic professionals. – less

I worked here for a year and I admit I have learnt to be responsible, creative and innovative. I managed medical data bank for Rheumatoid Arthritis patient for the research. For this I was involved in front and back end development and maintenance. Platform I worked here was on PHP MVC and MySql.

This was a work place where you had to stay on your toes, because there were Dr. and resident Drs working at the same time seeing patients for different things. We were all assigned to one dr. some times two. Calling patients from the waiting area and getting them prep for paps, physicals, or routine pregnancy visits was a typical day here. This is – more... where I learned to draw blood outside of school training.Management was great. My coworkers were helpful and friendly. The only thing that was hard about this job was keeping up, with when the General Surgeon was coming in. But the most enjoyable was working with the first time mothers/parents. – less

UNMC, according to me is the perfect place for a fresh post doc with lot of energy and enthusiasm. The work environ is pleasant, with peers who are admired and awe inspiring.

My typical day at work starts at 8am in the morning stretching unto late hours of night.As a post doc in stem cell biology lab, my focus of work was to explore the underlying – more... molecular mechanisms of adult retinal stem cell activation and their possible plasticity potential to tweak them towards photoreceptor lineage. My research
work encompasses lots of mammalian tissue culture (stem cells), molecular biology, immunological techniques, in vivo animal experiments and various histological techniques.

Being a post doc, it was always a race against time. That said, I have to balance and organize lot of things, against tight dead lines.In other words, life at UNMC did help me hone my time management skills. Apart from regular research work, I was also
actively handling various administrative responsibilities, viz., IRB approvals, IACUC (animal handling) protocols, maintenance of animal colonies, purchase orders and stocking of reagents etc.

I have been quite fortunate to have helping and understanding colleagues, who have been an indispensable source of team spirit and moral support during testing times.We work towards maintaining a harmonious relationship with mutual respect.

The hardest part of my job is to multi task various aspects of research and administrative responsibilities in day to day activities.However,my exposure to work atmosphere, since my doctoral graduate days have taught me nuances of how to handle
such situations under stress, without losing focus and at the same time,achieving excellence.

The easiest part of my job is my ability to interact with people, which forms a part and parcel of my job. Being a researcher, I have to communicate with people from different work backgrounds and diverse cultures.This interaction does translate into team work and also helps me better understand and learn from my counter parts with regards to their perspectives towards work ethics and various aspects of personality development,which helped me shape myself into a better human being, on a personal and professional front. – less

UNMC Physicians is an excellent company that believes in it's mission and care about patient care. My fellow co-workers are committed to the same mission and working together. I have been able utilize many of my talent in HR, training and development.

There was WAY too much to learn in too short of time. The security department is full of negative people who seem to be staying only for the money (a lot of complaining, etc.) Moral is low. A lot of game playing & shift wars going on, especially by the overnight shift. Very minor mistakes are written up, resulting in nothing. Reports have to be written – more... even for the most minor of incidents (hand-written by the way) as the computer access is very limited. I would not work here again. – less

after many yrs of working there i had a great place to go to every day

I enjoyed working with a great team and given the opportunity to work and learn from the doctors, research, nurses and the team and given the honor to become an honorary RNI (Research Nurse Intern).

The University has a postdoc association, but its of absolutely no use. PI's treat postdocs, especially foreigners, in the way they want to treat. Hardly any salary structure exists. University only recommends, but its totally PI's viewpoint that "how less they can pay to a postdoc". There are no working hours and no holidays. Life is very hard as winters – more... are too harsh here. – less
