Dameron Hospital

Over the past 12 years at Dameron Hospital, I have gained so much culture and valuable work experience.  A typical day at Dameron Hospital on night shift would be coming in checking our reagents on our analytic testing equipments; running calibrations and QC; and sample testing on these machines.  We troubleshoot as necessary and do preventative maintenances.  We also do our inventory and whatever assignments each of us have. The second half of our night, we're on task for morning rounds.
Working at Dameron Hospital Core Lab, I have gained valuable technical skills and problem solving skills.  The best part of the job, love my coworkers!  They make it an absolutely enjoyable place to work.  The hardest part of the job has probably been the two reorganizations of the lab.  Other than that, it's been a great experience.

Dameron is a non profit community hospital with a board of directors that only care about the hospital for what they can get out of it.  The management and leadership is untrained, uneducated, unscrupeled, and unaware.  You move into a management position because someone left and you are the next higher ups friend, doesn’t mean you have any leadership trainin.  They never have enough employees because everyone leaves so you are always short staffed and over worked.  You are yelled at for not taking breaks but you don’t have time for breaks.  Anyone in a charge, management or supervisory position won’t help.  The attitude is bad, if you don’t like it, leave.  That’s the solution for everything. The culture is depressing,low morale exhausted everyone is overworked and very under -appreciated.

Seemed like a great company to work for. Training is atrocious. No such thing as a new grad program. You basically just start taking patients and don’t really get oriented to policies or procedures. Your preceptor can barely show you the ropes because they are over ratio. At times you get no break or lunch until it’s almost time to clock out. Union does nothing. Your license is at risk every day but they don’t care. All of the good nurses are leaving to other companies and it’s filled with travel nurses right now. The night supervisor plays favorites and gives you heavy assignments. They mix tele and med surg patients and will try to give you 5 or 6 patients at a time. It’s really unsafe for your license and the patients.

Most of the staff you meet are really nice. However, if your not a nurse, you will not be a appreciated, especially since covid hit. Pay sucks. I have been there almost 3 years now and I haven’t gotten a raise nor a performance review. Leaderships communication has gotten a little better. They have cut the scholarship program for those continuing education. Only nurses and CNAS have education time, which sucks for people like me who are going to school but have to provide for themselves. In my position however I do have a flexible work schedule, and can leave if needed. No overtime, and I have weekends off. Medical benefits are good, PTO and kincare is nice. There is no working from home unless you are in management.  

I found this hosp. a good environment to work. As an RCP,I worked frequently in the ICU, CCU, ER, PEDS, NICU, and enjoyed all aspects of respiratory therapy. The staff was helpful. Therapies were carried out in a professional manner. The hosp. is privately owned and to my knowledge is still that way. There are some reservations to private vs. large coporate mangement run hospitals and facilities, but I did enjoy the comfortable setting. The patients seemed to enjoy the hospital setting and personel.

They hire new grads, which is great, you can get your feet through the door and after some experience, you are welcome to branch out to other departments, or other hospitals. The not-so-great part is that there is a limited nursing staff who can train you. They hire traveler nurses, which is great because most of them are willing to teach you a few things, but that's not what they are there for. Constantly understaffed, working over ratio, and no solutions from management. 

The experience at Dameron daily reminded me how it is to work with a group of repectable people. It took everyone there to do their part in order for the work to be complete. The supervisor allowed me into her workplace to learn and become a part of her family. Each and every one there accepted me and was open to answer any questions I had. The hardest part of the job was leaving and the most enjoyable part of the job was learning from everyone each day.

I enjoy working with the public and helping people. Ive learned that the way you treat your custermers is the way good word get spread around. I have come to understand what mangment is for and why it works the way it does.I get along well with co-workers. Would beto turn someoneaway without helping them in there problems.To know I help people with there medications each and every day.

What is the best part of working at the company?

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with vendors that I inherited that were deficient.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

Typical day included reviewing charts and ICD 9 coding to assure appropriate PPS payment. Conducting all weekly case conferences with clinicians, annual evaluations of licensed personnel.  Daily meetings with Home Health Director to assure proper maintenance of clinical records and reports.  In addition to supervisory duties, opened cases and provided direct patient care once/week.  On call duties shared with HHC Director.
