Emanuel Medical Center

A typical day at work consists of monitoring efficient patient flow and ensuring the highest quality of rehabilitation for each patient by assisting physical and occupational therapists with their hands-on and clerical tasks. I aide therapists and assistants with therapeutic patient care treatments and instruct patients through their exercise programs. I also assist and/or oversee with clerical projects, including patient charting and charging, supply ordering and stalking, and communication between therapists and doctors. The staff is highly team oriented and supportive of one another. Everyone is there for one reason, and that is to supply the best possible care to each and every patient. Our management team is approachable, understanding, supportive, and encouraging. The hardest part of the job is multitasking and ensuring good time management and providing efficient patient treatment sessions. The most enjoyable part is the opportunity to build relationships with the patients and becoming a part of their recovery process, as well as sharing in the rewards of seeing success.

I did enjoy the opportunity to work for this company. There were many dedicated individuals that worked there and I would not choose any other hospital over Emanuel Medical Center. I learned a lot about listening to the complaints of people and learned how to solve problems and deflame possible confrontations between patients and their staff. There were very stressful situations daily in the emergency department where I was working, and many sad things took place there, but we did the best we could to make those patients as comfortable as we possibly could. My managers were terrific and always were there if we had a problem of concern. My co-workers were great as well, and although like every workplace there were the occasional ones who enjoyed creating drama, almost all of them were dedicated and easygoing. The hardest part of the job was seeing the kinds of situations that ended up on our patient rooms, but the most enjoyable was when the stories of our patients had happy endings.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The leadership and staff were extraordinary, striving to surpass all goals established by the CEO. And they did!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The corporate leadership proved challenging in their communication expectations that led to frontline and middle leader fear of retribution. They appeared to establish a culture of fear where the Hospital leaders strives for just culture. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Just culture at the hospital leadership level; blame culture at the corporate level. Hopefully the corporate office has adopted just culture practices. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Each day began with leader rounds of every hospital department to learn from frontline staff their concerns and perspectives in providing the best possible healthcare. This drove all activities of leadership. Any needs not addressed were monitored daily until resolution achieved.

The people I worked with at Emanuel Medical Center are amazing!  There are  many who have worked there for years.  Everybody knows everybody there.  The workplace culture can't be beat.  In fact when we get people from other hospitals to join our team, that is always something they comment on.   However, when it was bought out by the TENET Corporation it became all about the bottom line.  The Administration is so far removed from the front line workers it makes it less favorable to work there.  But that is probably true about any hospital that is run by a big corporation.  The hardest part of the job is staffing issues.  RN's and other health care workers are under extreme pressure on a daily basis to care for our patients safely and at times it seems like the administration only cares about the bare minimum of staffing.  We often go home exhausted both mentally and physically when just ONE more person may have made a huge difference.  

The staff nurses are wonderful hard working people. I enjoyed working with most of them. They are committed to best practices and the safety and wellbeing of their patients.
The doctors were BAD . Most of them are old or can’t work anywhere else because they have bad reputations. They don’t practice current up to date practice. They are bullies, and don’t treat nurses with respect. There is a culture of higherarchy instead of team work. The nurses are afraid of speaking up because tenet is a for profit hospital and wil higher and fire at whim to maintain the bottom line.
This all creates an unsafe environment. Don’t go there. They are offering huge sign on bonuses but their pay practices in California are not according to the law. They don’t pay time and 1/2 after 8 as other hospitals do. They find loopholes to get out of it. 
The union for nurses is not strong there so nothing changes. Don’t go there. You will risk your license. You will walk on eggshell!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Staff was really friendly and we’re very professional also compassionate environment thru out the hospital 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting deadlines and working under stress while trying to reach for a goal but always seem to manage it with guidance and able to speak to my managers about the situation 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was working around positive and inspiring people who wanted to achieve the best and with dignity we all accomplished it around many tykes of cultures we treated each other with respect 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday was different but with one goal in mind to make sure each patient was treated with dignity and respect no matter what culture they had in their background

A typical day included communicating with a diverse population of clients, processing data entry, providing receipts for cash, and scanning cards in regard to co-payments due.

I learned to operate a switchboard, the importance of communication between coworkers, scan documents, insurance cards, and personal identifications.

The manager was new to the position and there was minimal interaction due to my limited hours.

The workplace culture was very diverse, fast-paced, and unpredictable.

The hardest part of the job was unpredictable hours which often caused back to back shifts.

The most enjoyable part of the job was benefits of the easy access/discounted cafeteria, interacting with the public, and the ability to help someone in need.

New Grad RN in OB/ pediatrics. Minimal training was given and management is not supportive at all. Short staffed and all they care about is money not patient or staff safety. They will actively try to find a way to put you down and do not care about their employees if you aren’t one of their favorites. Actually feels like high school. Never have I experienced such disorganized and petty “leaders” before. Brought my concerns up during orientation about caring for peds (never taken care of them) and was told that I would figure it out as time went on and to just take the patients. The unit does not have enough supplies, resources, or pediatric experienced RNs to take care of the patients but will admit them anyways.  Do not recommend for any new grad. I feel like I am going to lose my license every time I go into work. 

I am working as volunteer at Emanuel hospital.At Emanuel hospital enviroment is very quite and peaceful.Doctors and Staff in Emanuel are very friendly.It is one person job so it is very easy to take care of it.I'm in charge in Surgery Waiting Room.My duties are checking down the patients names,keeping in track what time they went into the surgery room,when they are recovering,and when they are admiting in their rooms.I also help patients relatives to guide them to show them the ways for example to Gift shop or to Cafeteria.As working there I have capable meeting alot of people.I would greet patients relatives when they come in the Surgery waiting room.It is take turns job.It is one person job that we work upon shifts that we assign.

I worked on the oncology unit, with cancer patients, they taught me to appreciate the here and now, and that you never know what life has instore for us all. Many of my co-workers were of multi-ethnic backgrounds and I enjoyed learning their culture and values. The hardest part of the job was knowing most of my patients chances of survival were limited. The most enjoyable part of the job was learning how precious life was, and the gift of a persons life was to be celebrated.
