It's a nice place to work
Phlebotomist (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – February 13, 2019
Just make sure that you are on time to work...they do not play about tardies/absentees...they will keep an employee that is difficult (until too many write ups in file) and on time to work before they keep an employee that is pleasant and late or absent to work. They are very big on dependability and promptness because those factors directly affect patient care which is the company's number one objective.
Good place to work
Manager (Current Employee) – Kansas City, KS – February 12, 2019
Great place to work. However they still focus on the degrees versus your actual knowledge and work experience. This is on the business side of the health system. Someone with a degree does not necessarily have more knowledge then someone who has worked in the industry for 15 plus years

Review Summary
PCA Personal Care Assistant (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – November 14, 2018
A typical day at work was face-paced, friendly, critical and educational based. I learned quite a bit working in a hospital setting. I believe every CNA who plans to work in a hospital after receiving their Nursing degree should work in a hospital before diving in. The set up and things you learn is much different than a nursing home or in home care. The environment at KUMED was vibrant and intriguing. Coming to work was never dreadful - tiring, yes but never dreadful. The hardest part of the job is getting attached to your patients and something happening to them or them having to leave period. It never truly matters what floor you are on, being in the hospital is scary and sometimes your patients can feel alone. Your job as a CNA is to treat your patients as if they're family. Therefore, showing you care as if they're family, will lead you to create a bond with your patient. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to make someone's day just by simply fluffing their pillow or helping them walk when they just got out of surgery. Most of the time your patients are so thankful - making yourself feel very important. Also, having a good team and friends makes the job much more fun to come to!
Pros
work environment and good benefits
Cons
short breaks
Very poor poor place to work at
SPANISH PATIENT REGISTRATION REP (Former Employee) – 3901 Rainbow Blvd – October 31, 2018
Very poor management at the Pediatric clinic which was where I worked. Manager did not care about its employees nor did they care that I had family emergencies with sick kids. They don't take your word into consideration and if you say something they don't like you are in the blacklist.
Great Environment
Family Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – October 29, 2018
The management is very supportive. The overall camaraderie of the staff is amazing. The Cancer Center is second to none and a great place to learn new skills.
what i do
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) – Kansas City, KS – October 26, 2018
I verify insurance. I help stock supplies. I answer and resolve any conflicts or problems coworkers have. I am a go to person if needed to be somewhere for a fill in. I can do front desk, phones, scheduling, insurance, medical assistant. I never know what I am going to do day to day, so I can scheduled or let people know where to find me.
Culture
Clinical Director (Current Employee) – Kansas City, KS – October 25, 2018
Excellent place to work, but doesn't relish in promoting from within on the ambulatory side. In the hospital, the culture of hiring is to promote from within.
Pros
Culture of safety, life/work balance
Hit or Miss
Clinical Nurse II (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – October 15, 2018
Most days were rewarding to work at KU Hospital. As in most workplaces anymore there were politics and some inappropriate practices. Nurse to Nurse comraderie was hit or miss, and as far as a teaching hospital, the physicians were a hit or miss too. Some MDs were awesome to work with and communicated like professionals. At the time when I was employed the atmosphere was to bring in the patients before we had the staffing to accomodate the increased census. I floated all over the hospital and worked as a coordinator - the pay and benefits were good. Management was different than what I was accustomed to in that they were usually gone to meetings and unavailable a majority of the time in both areas that I worked in. Hardest part is the same everywhere, no one focuses on good training anymore. Most enjoyable was learning new procedures, disease processes, but it did require seeking it out rarely did the units provide the education. Most of my education came from posted symposiums and CEU attendance and as I mentioned earlier, seeking information in situations I was exposed to where I was not given the benefit of education.
Pros
Exposure to unique disease processes, learning
Cons
Lack of guidance and training

Admitting representative (Current Employee) – Kansas City, KS – September 21, 2018
KU understands that you have life outside of work and do their best to accommodate that! Pay is fair and areas for advancement is unlimited. It is very hard to get on but once your foot is in the door don't let it go!
Productive Workplace and AMAZING people
