University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Careers and Employment

Not offen

You must know someone to get promoted. Management, at least in the WISL dept, see unit leaders and strong RNs as a threat. You must be a "yes" person to get promoted in WISL. Many people have been promoted that do not even meet the qualifications over others that do, simply because management "likes" them more. If you offer gossip and spy on your colleagues, you can get in good with the managers and directors in WISL.

The culture of kindness is the best part of working at UAMS. Everyone is kind, friendly and genuinely caring. You might meet a few a-holes, but overall it’s great culture. Also, the atmosphere is calm, relaxed, laid back and chill. You have freedom to move around and not be restricted to a desk.

Do not entertain the gossip, don’t expect regular raises, expect change in rules and regs often.

The interview process long.

Be honest, confident, wait a few seconds before answering questions. Do not speak badly about previous employers. Applies to any interview.

I think it took maybe 3 weeks to get hired. Of course you have the application and the interviews. But then you have a week to a couple weeks of training depending on your job and location.
