VA Medical Center Employer Reviews

I aboslutely love working here, inly wish it wasnt a contract position.

Started out on the Wards as Ward /secretary; then promoted to Outpatient Clinical Secretary (Patient Access Specialist). Ran clinical functions, files, telephone calls, maintained Patient files, entered appointments, blood test requests, specialty test requests, and Doctor's orders into computer. Greeted patient for check in; Greeted patient upon checking – more...  out and giving each patient required appointments, and or copy of said appointment. – less

The benefits were great, but the advancement opportunities and rate of pay were very sub par.

i love woking at this place it was very fun and poductive their never was a dull moment. the people here are wonderful

I loved working here and if it weren't for my move from California to Iowa and the closet VA hospital being over 200 miles away, I would have transferred to stay with the company.

The VAMC was a great place to work as a work-study student. Over 3 years, I've learned the processes that go into inpatient and outpatient operations. Afforded me the opportunity to nurture the skills necessary to become a pharmacist: IV preparation, communication with nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals, the importance of pharmacoeconomics, – more...  etc.
A typical day depended on the assigned area for the day. It could consist of preparing the IVs for the hospital for the day, filling/checking prescriptions at the stat counter, or re-stocking the pharmacy. – less

I enjoyed my time at the VA Medical Center.. My co workers were easy to get along with. I practically made a new friend everyday. I honestly would go back and work there without a second guess. I honestly dont know why I even left.

Working with the veterans was an intersting expirence, some times they could be a challenge but every day was made enjoyable to know that i was able to help people who once protected us.

I enjoyed working there. Seeing the patients coming in sick and frail, and watching their progress as they continue all follow-up appointments.

Working for the VA was a fullfeeling job I started off in housekeeping ,and in four years advanced to telephone operator. A GS-5 position even though I resigned from that position I still felt I was treated fairly. I would incourage any one with aspiration of joing a strong work force to seek employment with the VETERANS AFFARS ADMINISTRATION asap .

Facility provides many different ways to care for United States Veterans.

Great advancement friendly co-workers
Great management wiling to listen

It is hard to go there, but the different units work like oil and water. There is no unifying front to hold support staff accountable, and it seems like no one in power wants to work to correct the problem.

I work at the V.A Hospital in the Billing department. I'm a Contractor I work for Tree Frog Data Solutions its an outside company that provides services to Department of Defense (DoD) Medical Treatment Facilitiesand Veterans Administration. working at the VA is a Great experience everyone is a team player the atmosphere is really good. I work in the – more...  Billing department My job consist verifying insurances and calling on claims. I enjoy learning more stuff every day. unfortunately the billing department is moving to pennsylvania and my contract will up soon. – less

I did my externship at the VA and loved every minute of being there. I was taught so much and the staff was very knowledgeable and willing to teach you all they could.

Great learning experience. It's great if your looking for a stable job and diverse patients. They offer psychosicial rehabilitation, outpatient, inpatient , & skilled.

The job Housekeeping was a foot in the door and if a employee is lucky, there will be a promotion that awaits the future. If not, the
employee will be stuck in the housekeeping department and the
hopeful future will be lost. A promotion is good, because then the
employee will be able to practice the professional skills that were
taught.

It is an average working place place with good benefits and patients that care.
