Lakeview Hospital

This is a wonderful hospital and the employees are encouraged to do everything possible to give quality patient care. In my position of Medical Staff Coordinator my advancement opportunities are limited to searching within the division and externally.

A typical day is managing the variety of complicated issues arising from credentialing activities while trying to maintain the ongoing current routine of new appointment and reappointment reviews through. Such an example might be meeting with the Chief Executive Officer Chief Medical Officer regarding a physician that has been red flagged due to negative information received from an affiliated hospital during re-credentialing efforts.

The hardest part of my job is the balancing act of meeting deadlines, scheduling meetings, and performing data entry while constantly being interrupted  with urgent issues by physicians that all consider themselves VIPs.

The most enjoyable part of my job is that what I do impacts patient care. I have helped to keep physicians with bad quality outcomes from "slipping by", as a result of my diligence.

I loved working at Lakeview as an RN on Med/Surg. If I didn't have to move, I would have stayed. The director and CNO were very supportive of the nurses. They heard you out with concerns and made a real effort to make changes. The overall culture of the unit is inclusive and uplifting. Everyone communicated and worked well together as a team. The max patient load is 5 with an aid. The downside is the pay for nurses at HCA hospitals are on the lower end of the pay scale.  I was okay with this because I was newer. The team I worked with and environment is very rare to come by. Lakeview is small but you will learn who everyone is quickly. I feel that communication with doctors was a lot easier to do than other places I've worked. Its a great place for new RNs to learn and grow. You will have a supportive group of people who want you to succeed. The director checks in with staff frequently to see how they are doing. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Small hospital so you get to know almost everyone. Staff overall is great. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They do not care about the safety of their employees. They also would rather hire new grads than retain their staff. They start new hires at a good wage but do not give raises based on your work. Sometimes you get a cost of living increase but that hasn’t happened for a few years and it’s not anything to get excited about. Charge nurses with 5+ years of experience are making $1-2 dollars more than new grads. 
They definitely don’t value their nurses!  Nurses week we all got a pair of socks. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nurse to patient ratios are horrible and CNA’s/Techs are non-existent. When you do have a CNA they are so busy that it’s hard to get their help. 
Patients are becoming more aggressive but management doesn’t want to pay for the additional security. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy managing 5+ patients without help.

I loved working with the physicians at Lakeview.  I loved to interact with them on a daily basis whether it be helping them pull medical charts for studies, making sure they were compliant with hospital and national policies when it came to chart completion.  The employees around the hospital were incredibly fun to work with.  We loved to have fun with holidays, birthdays and hospital celebrations.  
I learned to work with various personalities and backgrounds.  I loved seeing the patients being satisfied with their care.
The hardest part of the job was cajoling some physicians to sign their charts within 30 days.  The most enjoyable part of the job....interacting with patients, being appreciated for a job well done, being a front face of the hospital, being in parades, learning from all other departments in the hospital and being encouraged to be the best I could.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They have lots of parties, emphasizing is on having fun at work

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Different cliques and if you don’t fit in one, you are in trouble

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very cliquish, they act like a bunch of high school kids instead of professional mature beings

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come early in the morning to sit around and listen to a gossip for an hour and then I can finally go to work. If I try to come later to avoid all that, I am told I am not trying to be a “part of the team”. Then the rest is running around to finish all that I have to do normally in my job, plus other people’s job, because they are “too busy” and I have to be “part of the team”. If I need help, I am told that I am not doing my job and need to learn how to do it better.

Truly there is a different culture and atmosphere at Lakeview. They are trying everyday to create an environment of team work and excellent patient care.

From top to bottom, everyone does all they can to contribute to the entire well-being of the hospital. Rarely do units or departments silo themselves. Everyone works together and it really creates not only good relationships between employees, but also creates great relationships with employees and patients.

Administration is incredibly visible and is often seen roaming the halls, pitching in, getting feedback from staff, interacting with patients, etc!

If you want to find a rewarding job where you get to care for patients and feel unified as a team and a hospital, Lakeview has that culture and strives to keep it every day. You'll be happy to be a part of what they have going.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER:  Responsible for the establishment and enhancement of all policies and procedures for financial reporting.  This included planning, organizing, administering, and evaluating the fiscal affairs of the hospital in concert with the Board of Directors, The Administrator, Corporate Office, and Department Managers.

Assumed a leadership role in developing and organizing departmental budgets, provided financial training and guidance for clinical personnel, and assisted new physicians in establishing their practice billing systems.

Conducted demographic and financial research for the Certificate of Need process, as well as assisted in developing patient and physician marketing strategies for the new hospital.

At first Lakeview seemed like the best environment/setting to work at. Until you find out that management really could care less about their employees. They tell you how great of a job you do on a daily basis but only for you to keep working for them. Once you need them to stick by your side, they tell you there’s nothing they can do to help you. That their management position is nothing more than just a job for them. Meanwhile they have employees who would do anything to keep the good name going for Lakeview but what does management do in return for their great employees? Absolutely nothing because they don’t care about you as a person. So if you love life and want to live stress free, don’t work here. Don’t let a hospital like this ruin your passion for great patient care. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Co workers are amazing, small town hospital with plenty of free parking. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management tends to say nice things to you in front of you behind closed doors and the gossips about you in open patient care areas. Work culture and management could use a major shift. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Love the team player mentality of staff, love the interdisciplinary collaboration from MD's and RN's. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Churn and burn, sitting review charts for 5 min, then content admits and discharges. Workload highly dependent on charge RN's mentality. Little to no accountability.

I have absolutely loved working here for the last three years. I had an awesome director, but once that director left, every promise that had been given to me was discontinued with the new management coming in. Even after explaining my medical issues that I had that should have prevented me working certain shifts, I was told "well, everyone has to do it." 3 years I have given to this company, and they cannot accommodate for my health issues. 
  So many changes were made with the new management that everyone working on that unit is depressed and looking for new jobs. 
  Pay is also very low for nurses. I once heard management say, "HCA can pay low because of how happy their employees are." Not really fair.
