Frye Regional Medical Center

Worked in the critical care unit. When travelers are abundant, all core staff get put on call and don’t get their hours, or are floated to other floors. When travelers realize how bad it is and some leave, the staff get shifts back.. then by the time the travelers contract is up the core staff is back to full time and struggling with 2-3 patients each.. many times we didn’t even have enough staff to have a ratio of 1:3 and someone would get floated to our unit or a director would work on a rare day. Pay is good but that comes with the price of not practicing safely. Found medications scanned and never given day in and day out. Most intensivists are also locums and have little care for bettering the patients. The entire culture is a “keep ‘em alive til 7:05” mentality. If you’re looking for money it’s a great place. Get in, do your work and go home. If you’re looking for somewhere to call home this is not the place. Sad, because Frye use to be “the place” people wanted to go to. Now it’s just the Frye-tanic and anyone with any sense  is jumping ship. Prayers that one day they get things worked out. For profit hospitals = 👎🏻

What is the best part of working at the company?
I loved my job, I was not in a clinical role, however I got at least 15 minutes with each patient before sending them along for their appointment, I enjoyed patient interaction.
Like with most large institutions administration and human resources was useless and very cold, and top heavt

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
dealing with admin.  Do not show any intimidation, but at the same time be very polite and helpful.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I worked at the Imaging center, I loved everyone in the building.  Of course there were the evil ones, you had to stay really clear of, if you try to bring them to justice, you will end up paying for it.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of smiles, fast paced. You run into problems, but for me it was a challenge to figure them out, and I always could figure it out, I think that's why I was promoted after being there for a yr and half, and it was a $4+ hourly increase in pay

What is the best part of working at the company?
Administration is very supportive to look at processes and try to improve. They don't just keep doing things the same way because we've always done it that way. There are a lot of good people who want the hospital to grow and now that is possible. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Staffing can be difficult at times in all areas as there are more people in the hospital now and not everyone is as patient focused in all areas

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture has improved over the years with a big push for patient safety and satisfaction as well as holding people accountable. There is more employee engagement as well. The environment is fast paced. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Our team works together to provide the best patient care and experience we can to not only the patient but their families as well. We support each other to get the job done and ensure we see the patients on our caseload.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The patient and co workers that I met while I worked for FRMC

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Doing more work than what was expected of us. We always had new tasks given to us without any increase in pay. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It worked. Until I was in the therapy department then me and my co worker had to share a desk less than 3 feet away from each other. Not very HIPPA compliant if you ask me. We mentioned and they always said we have this idea in plan or that idea. None of which happened. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Enjoyed the patients and seeing them. Working on obtaining insurance information and collecting patient payments. Calling valet. Collecting pool group money registration of patients check in check out, Counting money at the end of the day. Keying Adjustments.

I loved the atmosphere, it helped me grow. I hated the bullies and rude employees who went unchecked. They drive away good people. People will try to get you in trouble and you have to watch your back. Support in your position is lacking as very good managers left for better jobs and you were left with managers who didn’t have a clue how to do the job, much less manage others. The pay is low, even for clinical staff. The work experience can get you into better paying job positions. I prayed with my patients. I was able to support our patients and promote advocation in their healthcare. Registration is very much unappreciated. As are nurses, techs, and CNA’s.   Registrar’s are often talked down to by the clinical staff. You meet a lot of people and are able to network if you are smart with the information provided. 

The work is very physical and demanding. I learned a lot about all aspects of hospital bedside CNA duties. Management pretends like they listen, but nothing is ever done. It seems that they are prepared to just replace you rather than listen to you. The turn over is widespread. If you are hired for a particular position, you will probably be used to float to other floors. The problem with that is that they hire float staff. They pay them more. They will not pay you more to float. When you bring this to their attention, they do nothing or say that it is out of their hands. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The patients and there are a few really wonderful nurses that go way above and beyond to help their CNAs 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The only CNA on a floor a lot with 14, 16 or more patients and your floated off your home floor a lot because there is never enough help

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
work environment is stressful most days/nights depending on what nurses you have and what floor your on. Then on a couple floors their is nothing but drama employees talking about everyone and each other.  There is no teamwork.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard and stressful, some days I have to make myself go clock in. The work you can handle its the stress and the back biting and the drama and no help that makes it hard.

The hospital is short staffed in every unit , without exception. This makes management encourage teamwork since the workload is growing. Pharmacy doesn’t drop off the medication when needed , and it turns into a “vicious circle”. The medication is not there on time, then the nurse is constantly checking when it will be delivered , the doctors make rounds and complain the medication hasn’t been given on time due to pharmacy’s inefficiency... and this is everyday! Management also has a circle of favorites, and if you’re not part of it , you gotta watch out for yourself constantly. 
Due to the staff shortage, nurses get assignments such as the CNA’s tasks and deliver dinner (which the cafeteria staff has done that at other facilities).
This in addition to others, are the reason nurses are feeling burned out and can’t deliver individual, high quality patient care.

I worked at FRMC's South Campus, the psychiatric hospital. I was there for over 4 years and LOVED it. If I hadn't had to move, I'd absolutely still be there. There's tons to learn, many different specialties of psychiatric care offered, and no two days will ever be the same. The satisfaction I palpably felt when I was able to see the difference in my patients, between when they arrived in crisis to when they left healthier, was the coolest part of my job everyday. Sure, there are always going to be times when things get hairy, but you also always feel that you've got a great team of nurses and fellow techs behind you, who've got your back and you'll all work to keep each other safe. If you go to work at South Campus, don't be afraid and trust that the people you're going to meet will include you, just like family, and don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for help!!

As long as you keep your head down when Administration is around you will be fine. If they even get suspicious of a someone they deem a "whistle blower" they will push you out of your job and hound you until you quit. I've seen it done with multiple employees. 
Patient care is not a priority. The profit from Patient is the top priority for this hospital. 
One Clinical staff member is expected to take on the work load of 2-3 clinical staff members tasks because they do not want to hire anyone.
Clinical Staff (i.e. nurses) have not gotten a raise in 5 years. The only time they received a raise was when the New-Grad pay of a RN was higher than what RN's (that have been at FRMC for years) made. That way they made an equal pay of a new grad RN. 
Under paid and under staffed for the benefit of Administrations bonuses.
