What is the best part of working at the company?
This place says they care about their employees, but that has not been my experience at all. There is little to no support for growth, and it often feels like management will do whatever they can to hold you back instead of helping you move forward.
The work environment is very negative. Many employees are rude, HR is not helpful, and nothing feels confidential. It quickly becomes clear that you have to watch what you say because information gets passed around.
Management in the operating room is especially difficult to deal with. The leadership style comes across as overly controlling and focused on writing people up rather than supporting them. It creates a stressful and uncomfortable workplace. The manager in the OR is a big micromanager and I recommend that if someone is just starting out or wants to work in the OR don’t work here because you will be miserable everyday and not want to come to work because of it and then get written up or yelled at for the most stupidest reasons! 
Overall, this is not a supportive or positive environment, and there is a lot that needs to change.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everyday was stressful you have to walk on your toes when your at work and management and the OR manager is to blame! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad environment no one cares about you here. They will still tell you to come to work and be on time or 5-10 minutes early no matter what the circumstances are 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday was horrible. If management was off the day or the week. Those were the only times work was enjoyable but when management was there you’d rather hide from them.

I've been at CSMC since I was an US student. Many things have changed over the years, but I wouldn't be leaving if I wasn't moving. 

Not everyday is stressful, but when it is it's full force insane. Never a happy medium. Not every case takes the same time. Not every patient is the same. No other dept understands US. They expect us to be as fast as CT/Xray. We're not CT or Xray. I'm not belittling my amazing "button pushing" friends, but our exams are longer. We are looking for pathology. If we miss pathology, the radiologist will also miss it.  Out patients are never on time. Add-ons don't listen to their times given. The ER can add on 7 pts at a time & constantly call about taking them, when we have a full out- patient schedule, L&D, procedures and NPO or Stat In-patients. We have to show all OB, ER & critical exams. Time consuming paperwork. 

Team work is a must & we don't always have it. Depending on the day to day team, can make or break us. A smooth day is a beautiful day. I've made some life long friends at CSMC. 

Daytime/ Evening shifts are very different. Night time differential & extra pay for being registered. I preferred the evening shift. Day time is chaotic with multi techs running around. They lose a tech during lunches. There can be techs missing from the dept for multiple procedures. 

My supervisor is great if you need to find coverage. There's never any problems with taking vacation days. 

I love my radiologists. Some of them are willing to teach which is respected and loved. Your life will be easier once the radiologist can trust your scanning. It's hard for every new tech.

Working in the emergency dept. was my favorite field of nursing for so many reasons. The staff there were a great group of people, very dedicated to their profession, very caring toward their patients. The days typically were very busy, never enough space for the increasing population in the area. For a while, after they opened a newer larger wing for the emergency dept., we were able to keep up, however, the population continued to grow and over the years we began running out of space again. The good part was that we managed quite well despite the lack of space. I felt most rewarded in that job because of how much of a difference I was able to make in a patient's life, as well as their family members. The hardest part of that job was dealing with very sick and sometimes terminally ill patients and their families, as well as the patients that we were not able to save, who would come in gravely ill or in some cases, in cardiac arrest. Although I always felt good about the work I was doing, it was very difficult at times not to get too emotionally involved. The docs also were a wonderful group of people, and management there was fair and caring as well as appreciative of the staff. It was by far my favorite place to work during my nursing career. My favorite group of patients were the geriatric population, so much in need sometimes of just a little bit of TLC, which no matter how the day was going for me, I was always ready, willing and able to give! It was there in the emergency dept. I felt the most rewarded for the job I was able to do!

When I first started here I was bombarded with “it’s such a great place to work!!” All from upper management. That alone was a red flag. Once I started working I realized just how many flags were and are being either encouraged or just straight up ignored. 
Clinical leaders are more like clique leaders. Certain one in particular in the ER is not scared to talk down to you nor make it known if they do not like you. Very passive aggressive, rude, nose in the air type of person. 
Day and night staff seem to be at war with each other, it’s a non stop blame game. Instead of just doing what needs to be done. 
The staff that does work the hardest often gets the most criticism (what else is new) 
HR staff is pretty rude as well.
 This company could definitely use a lesson in handling employees with disabilities. I would fear for my job if I had one. Constant threat of strikes against you, no drs notes taken (at a hospital, go figure) and no excuse is valid if you run out of sick time. Even if you go to this hospital for treatment. 
Staffing is a joke, most shifts people are running around like crazy trying to do the work of 10 people. Patients suffer, staff suffers, everyone suffers. I’m terrified writing this. I hope this really is Anonymous but even so I’m looking into other jobs as we speak.  Get it together Centrastate.  


Worst place to work and disgusting management.

I’m writing this because the floor I worked on, 5N progressive unit, at first was a great place to work on. However, on my last day I was treated like complete dog-sh** I was given Covid patients and one Covid patient had to be moved to another room. They are supposed to notify both the RN and Patient Care Technician that the patient who is Covid positive is being moved. However, they neglected to notify and confirm with the RN. Thus, putting the Patient Care Technician and patient at risk. I wrote a really nice exit interview about the floor I worked on but you know what I was forced to resign by manager with little leeway. I was forced to pick up more shifts that isn’t required. If hospitals are going to complain about their staffing shortage but then force employees to resign over not picking up more shifts is ridiculous. This company is not for their employees. They will drown you at your very end and try to make you lose your license and other certifications. Look elsewhere. 

Worked as a Rehabilitation Technician in both in-patient and out-patient settings. The management was very fair and supportive, so were the Physical Therapists. If you're wanting to get into PT or PTA school and are looking for some experience before hand, this is definitely the place to do it. As a tech you'll be doing mostly support tasks (flipping beds, cleaning/organizing equipment) but sometimes opportunities will arise for you to be trained in helping with some of the support groups they run. The therapists there are heavily invested in interms of professional cetfications/trainings so you'll be exposed to alot of different rehab techniques. As a tech the pay isn't great (and that's generally the case as this is usually a role for college students wanting to get into PT) but if you get a full-time position, the benefits and pto are very generous. 

Some days were long, others would have not much going on. Day shift is busiest. Hardest part of the job is handling some patients that could become violent, but if you have even the slightest inkling of empathy, it isn't too hard to bring someone down from that elevated state of mind. Downside during the time I worked there was the younger co-workers who would consistently call out or show up late and not receive reprimands; there was also some EO issues from another co-worker who didn't approve of females being in a male-dominant industry and would often try and make them do things unnecessarily. Aside from the small personal issues with a couple of people, it was a phenomenal place to work. 

This review is for The Manor, a sub acute rehab and nursing home that is a part of centra state hospital system. This was my first "big girl" nursing job and at first it wasn't really that bad. As time went on it became apparent to me why no one stays on and works in these kinds of places long term. Supervisors were constantly coming and going. There was little stability with second and third shifts. Not enough staff to begin with and then the pandemic hit and it was truly every man for themselves. As far as I know, now that I've been gone two years, there is only one person still working there from the shift that I was on. So little support and complaints fell on deaf ears. Heaven forbid a patient complained about staff trying to deal with having no help and little resources. Overall just a negative and sad environment to be in. The entire nursing home industry needs a reboot from the ground up. 

Very busy job as an ECG monitor technician. You constantly need to be focused for the full shift. I learned how to interpret heart rhythms and how to properly respond to an abnormal rhythm to a nurse or doctor. Management is very friendly and willing to help you succeed to become better and help you reach goals you may have for your future. The hardest part of the job is watching every heart rhythm on the screen which is near 45 50 at once and watching for anything wrong on each for 12 hours. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing the care you're giving to the patient because of what you did for your job and the staff is so friendly. Week 2 I felt like part of the family there.

The physical therapists are given both 45 minutes for evaluations and follow up treatments. Patients are never double booked. Plenty of one on one time with your patients to provide high quality care without needing to rely on rehab aides to get you through your treatment sessions.
