WakeMed Employer Reviews

Very busy. Very loud with the automation. Lab is not a worker friendly set up. Management will tolerate substandard employees if they will work off shifts. Poor information system set up and management. Management seems to pick favorites for advancement. However, good place to learn. Lots of interesting things going on. You can get good clinical experience – more...  in multiple areas. – less

Always had an increase in workload w/a decrease in staffing. High turnover rate w/i the respiratory dept. Management never had your back (even if you were right). Don't think that if you leave for another job that you will be rehired. The Director of Respiratory holds a grudge against all who leave while under his leadership. He suffers from a "little – more...  man" syndrome. Lots of favoritism noted.

The most enjoyable part of the job for me was the patients. It should always be about patient care. Some of the co-workers were great. – less

I was offered a great life experience is Medical Intensive Care. I was able to learn from great physicians critical system functions, I was offered teaching opportunities such as the National Renal Core Curriculum for new ICU nurses. I mentored new ICU RN's and I was one of the Charge Nurses within our unit. I feel this experience taught me what I needed – more...  to be able to go forward and become the type manager I needed to be with the skills to "think on my feet" if something went amiss and solve issues without doubt. It offered me confidence and for that I am grateful. – less
