Fremont Hospital

-Get your 1 year of experience and then get out, 

-TOXIC. 

-Working here started off great but as you get into it you start to realize the sexism and favoritism that is in this toxic workplace.

- The same individuals that go to codes are getting spit on, scratched, kicked, beaten up and the management gives no support to thank these individuals that get paid the same amount as the other individuals. 

-No type of bonuses except for the YEARLY Raise, which is the lifetime of every mht that works there

"veterans" - people that have been there for 5+ years are treated better than newer employees and get away with a lot. 

again what's upsetting is that individuals that go to codes have no incentive or anything to participate and there is no reward for volunteering and it starts to create this Macho culture but at the end of it all you realize that there's another person that is taking the easy route kicking back and doing rounds while your getting bit or spit on. 

they request male staff.

if you have special request for what type of staff you need, Cough up some incentive so more people participate and therefore it rewards members of the hospital for participating not just the same people getting beat up. 

quarterly raises, 
incentive programs need to be re-evaluated*( 75$ to an MHT and 150 to an RN?)  and that's just covering picking upshifts. 

Lunches: The nurses do not care about giving the legal 15-minute breaks, you will go a whole shift and they will not break you or cover you, and the 30minute lunch is a job, if you start at 7:00 you most likely will take your lunch 3 hours into your shift. 

Cafeteria: unsanitary staff, never see them change gloves. 

As healthcare workers during this pandemic, we saw no benefit of working, no increased incentive, no reward from the hospital except there elementary style reward of "free lunch" 


Management is a Joke but the problem is deeper in the hospital than just a couple of people.

Fremont Hospital is a corporation and their priority is profit. This is extremely apparent in the level and quality of patient care that is offered. This is a facility that accepts highly acute patients that other facilities often turn away. On one hand, it's great that Fremont Hospital admits patients that are rejected by other facilities, because these patients need somewhere to go......but Fremont Hospital is chronically understaffed because their RNs usually won't stay for longer than 6 month. So...this results in a highly acute environment, low staffing (9 pt / 1 RN, if you're lucky) and a lack in quality of care. Fremont hospital also hires new graduate nurses. This is great because it's hard to find a job in an acute inpatient facility as a new grad. But the new grads only get about 8 days of training and then they're thrown into a shift with no mentor because the other nurse they're working with has only about 30 days of experience. It's the blind leading the blind. 
Fremont Hospital attempted to bring on travel nurses to fix their staffing issues. The travel nurses didn't stay; they canceled their contracts....every single one of them. 
Remember I said that Fremont Hospital will accept patients that others won't. They get a LOT of admissions, sometimes 5 or 6 per shift and you're lucky if you get a resource nurse or anyone to help. 
I wouldn't recommend that anyone work here unless you're used to this kind of environment. This place will eat you up and spit you out. Not recommended for new grads.

I was employed at Fremont Hospital for 5 1/2 years as kitchen staff. I functioned as a dietary aide as well as a cook, my experience with this hospital has not been a good one.I was required to train individuals time and time again just for them to be promoted over me. I would be promised promotions that never happened although I had great reviews compliments on my food.as well as excellent evaluations. I never once was given employee of the month given a raise or given a promotion to a higher position even if a higher position had became available! In 5 1/2 years This type of treatment Can tend to really take its toll over time. I was misused and unappreciated for the services that I brought to the hospital, the care and nurturing that I gave to patients through food service was An responsibility that I took great joy,care and pride in.worst of all they allowed harassment by fellow co workers to take place at this  facility without any proper discipline.This to can cause a very hostile work environment and if you add in poor management via The director of nutrition Purvy and her lap dog Samara. This is just not a very healthy place to work. I am so very happy to be free!

Caseloads are very high which is detrimental to patient safety. I was often confronted with ethical dilemmas that gave me nightmares and burned me out quickly which is why I  left the company. There is no healing and recovery at this facility, just insurance-driven care especially with discharge planning. No proper training, you just shadow a case manager before taking a caseload. Expectations of the job changes frequently. There is no clear structure at this facility and overall poor boundaries that often staff worked during breaks and lunch. The systems are out dated (ie chart system is on paper/no electronic health record system). I gained some mental health experience from this  job but I didn’t feel I can ask for support or additional training due to low morale among the team and it was just very understaffed. They need to hire more case managers! 


Typical day is to meet with my staff in the morning to see how everything is going if they have any questions or concerns that need to be taken care about their specific job duties. I learned in a short amount of time to go from one software accounting program to the newest one. Management seemed like they never took the time to invest some time in each department to ask questions or just to make sure we had the tools to do our job. My co-workers were the best we all worked together in hard times to meet the company's expectations. The hardest part of my job-was keeping my team happy and making sure we all worked together. Most enjoyable was meeting our cash goals, front end collections, making sure all accounts were accured at the right rate, refunds were given in a timely manner and making sure we had accurate billing in order to receive timely payments.

My first few days here were wonderful, everyone was nice and welcoming but that is because I am new. After a few weeks, everyone's color was starting to shine. I was very close to my colleagues on the night shift but other shifts are backstabbers. They will turn things around to make you look bad. The manager uses favoritism when it comes to her staff. Morning shifts are considered superstars. On other shifts, you are left on your own without support. If you make one simple mistake you will be thrown under the bus. Many new people come and go after just a few days, which was smart of them. Staffs are easily replaceable. COVID showed how much they care less about their staff. They brag that they are a Fortune 500 company but they lack providing support to their staff. Instead of spending money on PPEs, they gave us useless T-shirts that said: "I'm Essential." 

People leave this place after 6 months to a year and its because they get burnt out. The RN to pt ratio can be considered unsafe depending on acuity. PM supervisor is *constantly* trying to block orders which can affect patient care and safety. There is no point in trying to speak with upper management about issues as things will not change and when people realize this, thats when they leave. Pay is very low in comparison to other psych facilities. In addition to being a nurse, you will also take on the role of unit clerk as the phone doesnt stop ringing and you have to prioritize it no matter whats going on on your unit. You will be doing all admissions and discharges (on paper), and if you get hurt dont expect management to care. On the upside, you will get a chance to work with a diverse group of patients and you will develop strong teamwork skills as they are the only ones that you can depend on. 

A typical day a work is trying to leave work the way I came into work. I work on a very acute unit at times.The unit can be very dangers for staff and patients. I have learn alot from this job is how to listen and to use my voice manage stay calm. I have no problems with management only every once in a while they favor some staff and not others. My co-worker are just great now there are some I don't trust but the once that i do trust i know they have my back. The hardest part is working with not enough staff. When the acuity is high like it is there should always be more then two staff working on the unit. The most enjoyable part  of working at Fremont Hospital is a client leave and they tell how much you helped then and they appreciate you that the greatest feeling. Overall Fremont is a great place to work I would'nt want to work anywhere else.

Work-life balance
They expect so much from you, with very little pay. They do not care about their staff and look at you as easily replaced. They have a really high turnover.

Pay & benefits
Little pay, its rare if you get a raise.

Job security and advancement
Their is no growth here, they do not train well you pretty much teach yourself. If you speak up about anything, they will find a way to get you out.

Management
Management sucks. Directors, management, and supervisor never on the same page. My department management never has our backs when it comes to other departments.

Overall
The benefit of this place, is cool people to work with. Other then that the pay is horrible, and the way they operate sucks. This place has a high turnover for a good reason. Just because it says “Hospital” in its name doesn’t mean it’s a professional good job.

A typical day bringing good energy, sets the mood, I have learned when someone is having a bad day, to be understanding and patient, they will eventually come around, and be there when they do, my co-workers and I are doing our best in working together as a team, keeping each other informed of any sudden changes, or information needed to began the day. Jobs not hard when u do your best, the most enjoyable part of the job is when the patient is being discharged, and they stop and apologize to you the way they behaved and that they thank you for not holding it against them, and tell you that they really appreciated that.
