Valley Presbyterian Hospital
Medical Transcriptionist (Former Employee) – Van Nuys, CA – July 18, 2018
This was my very first transcription position and I was hired as a paid trainee based on my testing results. They normally did not pay trainees, but they saw my potential.
Pros
good work environment
Cons
none
no team work
Unit Secretary (Former Employee) – Van Nuys, CA – August 7, 2018
At VPH no one cares for anyone else. There is no teamwork. Your opinion is not welcomed, no one cares what you think and your suggestions are never validated. As a newcomer, you are on your own and if anything goes wrong all the fingers are pointed at you. No one appreciates your effort, however, if you do any mistake you are the talk of the day. The administration does not respect your cultural and religious beliefs and they fire you for practicing your religious beliefs.
Pros
none
Cons
culturally intolerant
avarage work place

Valley Press is a good hospital, the hospital has nurse retention problems. Supervisors are at times don't reports problems to quality control which creates an unsafe working environment.
Pros
close to home
Cons
long term employees have their click and don't take to new employees well
Diamond in the rough (neighborhood).
Maintenance Engineer (Current Employee) – Van Nuys, CA – July 11, 2018
Nothing spectacular here. People doing the best they can with what resources they have. Serving an underprivileged area and doing it well. Not much room for career advancement.
Pros
Taking care of the down and out.
Cons
Management turnover seems high.
Excellent teamwork
Staff RN, Labor and Delivery Unit (Former Employee) – Van Nuys, CA – June 25, 2018
All staff nurses worked as a team. A day could be overwhelming at times but with the support received from co-workers, the load becomes lighter and faster to accomplish.
sociable environment , happy staff !
Volenteer (Former Employee) – Van Nuys, CA – June 15, 2018
I was only a volunteer at Valley Presbyterain Hospital, it was important for us to always have a positive attitude. The doctors, nurses, and all the staff in the hospital were so out-going. i really enjoyed working there, a member in my family had surgery there and the way they treated her was amazing & her recovery took only a few days! Only reason I stopping volunteering is because I finished my hours yet, went over board. I recommend everyone to choose this lovely environment!
Pros
Free lunch for volunteers under $6
Cons
Not a lot to do in escort office
workplace culture

RN Case Manager (Former Employee) – Woodland Hills, CA – May 11, 2018
Working at Valley Pres was a challenge. My hrs where fulltime but it seems like there was always something to do even when I left for the day. I wanted to do my very best so I stayed after hrs even though I was not payed extra which that was not a concern for me. I work for my clients and have to give the best of quality care.

Surgical Technologist Externship (Former Employee) – Van Nuys, CA – January 19, 2018
The workers who set up the trays are really nice. They want to help teach you and when it is slow they let you go on a longer break especially when instruments are being cleaned.
