Although I enjoy my position with the facility, I feel it could be a lot more productive if all management were on the same page as far as communicating with one another. I feel new employees do not receive proper training to do whats expected to them because the facility doesn't provide the amount of training that is needed to properly execute jobs. My co-workers are the best! We all work very well together and pull together to get required tasks completed before the ending of every shift. I think our moral should be higher as a positive place to work. Instead, everyone fears for their positions at the facility.

lets review the positives first- good coworkers, decent training program, positive work culture among clinical and admin staff, relatively understanding to taking PTO

now the negatives- low pay, corrupt management, constantly changing expectations/rules, no opportunities for advancement, filthy offices. also it's a very hierarchical work place, like if a lower level staff member complains nothing is done, problems only get solved if the doctors complain and demand they are addressed. also a very weird PTO policy, your holiday hours get taken out of your PTO and if you run out of PTO those days or there's inclement weather those days go unpaid. 

this isn't the worst place to work but i was sort of appalled by certain things, namely by how management handled situations like patients coming in with bed bugs or safety concerns for staff. it was sort of abysmal in that respect, which is a pity because it isn't a terrible place, i don't know, maybe my standards are too high

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing but wasted years 31 to be exact

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The whole place period is unfair. All politics

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is toxic especially if your one of the older employees

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Treated unfairly always. Typical day there was always horrible. Always given worst assignments intentionally. Took to supervisors and people above them was just a waste of time because their all buddies. It's the buddy system there in every department. Wouldn't recommend anyone to waste years of their life there. Get nothing out of for 31 years of service but a slap in your face. They pay is below others in tri-state area

We were early adopters in EHR technology and Meaningful Use in 2010.  I took the role of informatics nurse with no experience and learned (self-taught) everything possible about HL7 interfaces, EHR planning and implementation, etc.  I looked forward to going to work everyday because I never know what challenges I would face and could not wait to conquer them.

The hardest part of my job was my immediate supervisor did not like the EHR and Meaningful Use requirements and wanted them to go away.  She wanted me to meet all MU requirements without the nursing/physician staff and we were at odds on this issue for 4 1/2 years until I left.
 
I had no plans to ever leave King's Daughters' Hospital.  Every job has colleagues; KDH staff was like a large extended family.

No room for advancement and moral is very poor. Staffing is alright and there is usually lots of OT  opportunities you can pick up.  Supervisors are easier to talk to and will try to work with you but upper management is difficult to get ahold of and will not give you straight answers. The department manager and director are always disagreeing on what goes or not. One says one thing and the other says another. Moral is extremely poor and negative but this is due to feeling unappreciated by upper management or by the hospital in general. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping patients with their needs

Most definitely the management no matter what position you work. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is tense depending on which manager you have and if you are their friend or if you are family or friend of the family. If you are not they do not value you and will find some way to fire you. Legal or not. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Over load on case management for patients with no help in sight.

Management is horrible and provides no support. Director and manager never reply to emails unless you CC Human resources in the email. They do not advocate for their employees.  Management does not care that we are drowning with our work loads. No advancement opportunities in sight. You have to work nightshift for 15+years  or someone else retires opening a spot (hopefully).  No one respects you or values you as part of the team. Very hostile work environment and virtually no morale. They think pizza fixes everything.

Was a housekeeper their for almost 20 years I really miss my job had a lot of good memories with management and my coworkers I moved to Florida in 2019 and took on a roll as laundry coordinator and still doing the job here at Morton Plant hospital Clearwater I recently applied for a supervisor position at king’s daughters was interested in moving back home but was denied the job that a feel that I am highly qualified for.
