I have only been at this organization a few months and to call it that is a joke. The department I am in has no sense of control. The employees walk all over the manager, who is a new manager to the department. There is no clear sense of training and training is just watching someone who has been there for 30 years do the job and that is it. The 'trainers' still have their own work to do so the actual training falls flat. Other employees are quick to email everyone in the organization about a mistake one makes while in training, when that mistake is a reflection of their training skills. Management is also not helpful. If there is a situation between two employees being rude and disrespectful to one another, you are told to basically deal with it and watch your words. Never in my years of working for professional companies have I ever come across this amount of disrespect and lack of professionalism.

Workplace culture is a joke, Hardest part of the job is learning it, I have learned nothing, and the most enjoyable part of the day is lunch

working here was not bad, I loved the fact that I was able to pencil in my schedule, it helped a lot with having kids and school. I believe NAs should get paid a little more than what they get. I got to work on 4 east (Rehab) and 5 west (Peds) the teamwork was great on these units. unfortunately, I can't say the same for the rest of the floors, every other unit that I had to float to, was awful when it came to helping each other out. Not all of them but almost every single nurse had their degrees so far up their a**es. They think because they are nurses they don't have to help the nursing assistants with patients, they believe their only job is to give out meds, chart, and gossip about the other nurses to each other (a very toxic environment)  and that's it. you can be the only NA on the floor with 10 call bells going off and the nurses will sit at the nurse's station watching you struggle and ignore those call bells. unfortunately, this says a lot about management on these floors. 

Had a coworker who was suppose to share the work load but constantly wanted to leave the majority of the workload on me and not one supervisor nor manager did anything about me having to carry the work load for the office. Every time something came up that wasn't done or got messed up, one way or another, the blame was always put on me. Even if I wasn't suppose to handle it. I learned that not all places you work will stand by their employees and support them all equally. Garnet definitely picks and chooses who they listen to when a situation arises that an employee needs to be held accountable. They all try to blame the MA's first including majority of provider's as well as the nurses. 

Management is clueless on how to train new employees. No bonus, no paid OT. You have to wait up to 3 months to gain health insurance, yet Garnet preaches about being healthy and how much they care.  No decisions can be made unless half the employees and unions chime in and even then there is a possibility you wild be in trouble for making the smallest of decisions.  Major micromanagement. Overall, just a sad, prison like atmosphere and you can feel it as soon as you start on day 1.  No employee espris-decor or community.  You will feel alone most days.  Best part of the job was leaving it.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Watching numerous supervisors and administrator ssocialize while there is inadequate staffing and supplies.

Not a bad place to work. I loved that my hours were very flexible and I was able to change shifts often with others. My supervisor was very patient and understanding. Floor was always busy and staffing was kind of hectic. Mornings often had 1 N.A. on the floor. Evenings and overnights had 2 most of the time. If you had 3 on a shift you were lucky, but they’d float the third to another unit if they could. Some nurses would help out where they could. It could be a hit or miss. Just stay busy and do your job right and you’ll be good. Hardest part was probably just dealing with and managing the patients, also you’re always on your feet (which I didn’t mind). 

What is the best part of working at the company?
This place a joke. Don’t bother working for the lab unless you like being constantly mandated.

Constant mandating. Unsafe working conditions. Management don’t take you serious and talks about you to other staff.

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

Drawing blood on patients multiple times a day due to ignorant staff, putting in repeated orders without considering patient being poked so many times.

There is non being that the staff including bosses are terrible 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everyone is out for themselves 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hostile environment .. Patients do not get treated with respect and mistakes are always being made. Patients get neglected and treated poorly 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Bad really bad especially if working on unit 4 north.

Acuity of patients is high even on general m/s units. Ratio of patients to nurse can be overwhelming. Experiences can vary by unit and management support on each unit. Some units with extremely high turnover leaving a unit full of new nurses. At times the most senior (experienced) nurse working on the unit had only been a nurse 6 months.  Overall probably average hospital/ nurse issues and this is still one of the better hospitals to work at in the area.
