Cheyenne-Regional-Medical-Center

Cheyenne regional medical center is the biggest hospital in southeast Wyoming. It is an affiliate of UC Health, but not quite as prestigious. This is not a level 1 trauma center. Colorado has more to offer, more beds, better care, better overall patient experience, etc.
However, CRMC seems to do a pretty good job with what they have. Most of the employees are pretty decent. My manager is very supportive and pretty flexible with time off and will accommodate school schedules, etc. It may not be the best place to work but it's pretty good.
I work as an EMT in the transport department. I am cross trained to work as an emergency department Tech. My only frustration is that I am not busy enough. The job is too easy and I don't learn a lot most shifts. Traumas and STEMIS, etc. are relatively infrequent, and when they happen I am always sidelined. I'm only really keeping this job to get through nursing school and to work my way up to the RN level. This will give me a guaranteed place to get my first year of experience as an RN, tuition reimbursement, etc.
Overall I recommend this company. There are better hospitals, but this one is not bad overall.
My pay is very low, a little over $16 an hour. There are benefits and bonuses/ overtime... The benefits are pretty good overall... Considering that I don't do much at my job, I can't really complain about the pay.

I started training in clinical chemistry, which was fine because the teacher knew how to teach and was knowledgeable.
However, when I moved on to train in hematology, normally my favorite area of the lab, everything changed dramatically.  The techs there spent hours every morning doing not much of anything but play around on their phones and gossip about coworkers.  
As I was reading their procedures, I discovered that they do not actually perform many processes that are written even as job aids (usually something you do frequently).  As I asked more and more questions and pointed these things out, I became a target of their gossip and ridicule to the point where I became invisible to many people in the lab.  
This is very juvenile behavior and shows immaturity, meanness, total lack of character, and a seared conscience.  It was impossible to connect with people, who were so cold and often belittled and had a derogatory attitude towards me.
I really wanted to stay there, but every day became more and more horrific because the meanness of these people. 

Few good people but people all around you are constantly getting fired for speaking up about nursing to patient ratio's. Upper management just wants to keep cutting budgets so we had to work short all the time. Too easy to get a job as an RN somewhere else,
If you live in Colorado and commute, very dangerous road, and terrible benefits. Read the fine print on their 401K and tuition reimbursement. 401K you need to be vested for a year before they match you and for every 5K they give you for tuition reimbursement, you have to sign a contract for 1.5 years! Glad I didn't do that. Feel sorry for patients, constant falls, dangerous and unorganized, good nurses who care but senior management keeps either firing them or scaring them off because they do not apply their True Care Standards, they pay consultants and then don't change, fear and intimidation instead to keep people quiet. Often times we had no supplies or medications. Wouldn't bring my family there..

I was here as a traveler to cover spring vacations. 10 FTE's is a lot  for a 200 bed hospital, plenty of bodies for 24 hr coverage even when it gets busy, or to joke around during downtime. They do a little of everything here. Radiologists are easy to please. Protocols pretty basic and not much different than most places. Most of the difficult vascular patients are handled by a separate vascular department. Everyone gets along with each other, no lazy techs (thank God!). I've worked 26 different radiology departments and this was one of my better assignments. US department is undergoing a complete renovation, newer bigger rooms are going to be nice. Radiology director is genuinely interested in making sure techs are happy and work flow goes smooth. The lead tech is a working tech, not a sit on your butt be bossy lazy I'm too good to work hard type. I'm used to working GE and sequoia machines, these 4 Phillips epic machines only took two weeks to get used to.

Working in an outpatient clinic, so it has regular hours M-F, but it does have to match the hospital holidays. Which can sometimes mean remaining open while other offices in the area are closed. The front staff manager takes great pride in their team, and I felt they genuinely cared about our wellbeing. The onboarding and continued training were very well done. I felt like I had the tools to do my job. Some of the doctors were very educational and were kind to answer any questions you might have had. Some of the stressors would be unhappy patients due to covid regulations or that our specialist could not see them soon enough. Any emergencies were sent to the adjoining hospital. Or if one of the providers had to perform an emergency surgery it meant having to reschedule their entire day. I highly enjoyed my time there and the friendships I made. 

See above.  Benefits were excellent.  Management was supportive - genuinely.  I was allowed to hire proficient practioners.  I wrote a 16-week oriention manuual for new grads who wanted to work on a Neuroscience Unit - I wrote this with the assistance of our unit educator and the Director.  It was very successful and there were no worries that the new nurse would be thrown in to staffing prior to completing a successful orientation because they were not counted in staffing mix. If you want an almost ideal place to work, this would be it.

I worked in customer service on patient accounts. It is very demanding. Most days and you are dealing with information provided by multiple different sources and across departments and divisions. When you have a good team an can communicate across departmentally with some fluidity and cooperation things go very well for the customers and offices. When you have those that lack good communication or have other difficult or poor interpersonal skills or ownership skills, it can make the job more strenuous. The hardest part is feeling as though you have put so much effort and resources into helping someone and you don't seem to satisfy their need or solve their concern. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The opportunity to provide services to the community. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Peers who manipulate, lie and belittle others. Management that encourages staff to look for opportunities to write others up. Peer bullying. Management writing staff up for following providers instructions. Management allowing a staff member to work while being under the influence. Truly the worst experience ever. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and stressful environment. The culture was get others before they get you. Certainly there was no team mentality. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was fairly fast paced. The exams were supposed to be rotated equally, that didn’t happen. The cherry picking is blatant and unapologetic.

Few good people that are trying to make a difference but money hungry board that has nurse to patient ratios up to 10:1, absolute revolving door with employees and management, here today, gone tomorrow, all talk no show, get you in and then overwork you and don't listen, its all about cutting the budget, absolutely the worst place for a clinical rn to practice, will float you even during orientation, would never send family there, management is clueless, no one can be found, had to bring in my own pens, paper, supplies short, no organization at all They try to pay you off with higher dollar than nursing jobs in colorado, not worth it, don't go!

I checked messages for instructions before transcribing specific reports.  

I learned new techniques in the medical record, new surgical and pharmacology terminology.  

The management of my department varied over the last 17 years. Several managers had different formulas for our department but overall, medical transcription department did very well.

Coworkers were not really seen as most of us worked at home. Meetings and getting together for new software training was our contact.  Still friends with most of my coworkers.

The hardest part of my job was finding out the hospital was changing to a new system that would eliminate most of the transcription department.

The most enjoyable part of my job was being able to work at home.
