Liberty Hospital

The hospital had a massive layoff in May 2013. Before then it was a fun place to work. not anymore. After layoff I was hired back in July to work in another department. In that short time between May and July the hospital changed for the worse. Instead of a team attitude with everyone having each other's back and being supportive of one another, instead employees spied on their co-workers and talked behind their backs and bad-mouthed other employees. I worked there for nearly 4 years with no problems. I did my job well and was well liked. when i first started there, i lacked confidence and was more shy than i am now. However, my supervisor was not a micro manager type. she allowed me to slowly build up my confidence over time as and as i got better at my job. I worked as a patient sitter supervising patients with suicide tendencies or others such as alzheimers. etc. I was directed with observing patients and passing on observations to assigned nurses as well as using a variety of tactics to keep patient calm and at ease. this ranged from providing snacks, adjusting lighting, heating, recommending movies from hospital dvd library, etc. I had no issues during my nearly 4 years there as a patient sitter. But when i was laid off then re-hired back for a day shift as transporter for the radiology department, it was a whole different story. my co-workers ignored me, isolated me and never talked to me. they would have conversations around me all the time and never include me. they never made any effort to get to know me and during my first week were overly critical. they told me i was too slow and how i wasnt nearly as good as them. And this was during my first couple days! These 2 other transporters were the the supervisors favorites. they could do no wrong. these girls tattled on me for every minor mistake i made. they gave me poor training and frequently made assumptions that i knew how to do something then they criticized me for doing it wrong when they never even trained me how to do it at all. they were soley responsible for signing off in a critical skills assessment book that all new employees get. as each skill is demonstrated satisfactorily, the assigned person signs off. when i was first hired, i got my skills signed off by my supervisor during an assigned day and time that we went over the skills and i demonstrated my knowledge. not this time. my co-workers/mentors made no effort to make time to go over the skill book with me nor help me get the skills mastered. we were expected to work independently and yet at the same time be observed. it made no sense. these girls worked independently of me and i was somehow supposed to track them down when they were on other floors and get them to leave their assigned patients to observe me helping mine. these girls made no effort to sign my skill book or make sure i was learning the criticial skills. i was told my many nurses and aides that i was doing a good job and i was well liked by most people in the hospital and even some patients. but none of that mattered because my assigned mentors/co workers from my department didnt like me and made every effort to exclude me and keep me from exceeding in my new position. I dont know why they were like this. I tried so hard to be friendly and a fast learner and hard worker and none of it mattered to them. no matter what i did, i was never fast enough or worked well. and though many nurses and aides said i did a good job transporting patients and helping them, these 2 girls who rarely observed me, would go back to the supervisor every chance they go to talk about me. they never did anything to help me feel welcome or help me learn. there were also one or two nurses who said i lack confidence. but the supervisor who fired me refused to tell me their names or dates of alleged incidents. i am not a naturally confident person. for me, it builds over time as i get more comfortable with a job. I was a sitter in my first position as liberty for over 6 months before i felt fully confident in my abilities. But this go around, i was expected to pick all aspects of my job within a few days and demonstrated outward confidence right away. I was treated so unfairly. i really needed that job and i would recommend that nobdoy work there. people dont care about their co-workers. it is a place where backstabbing, lying, kissing up is rewarded. hard work comes behind that as a requirement to keep ur job. the laziest, meanest people are rewarded. i never was told which nurses had an issue with my work. all i was ever told by the supervisor who fired me was that a couple nurses said they felt i was confident enough in my job. i dont know if this was during my first week or last. nobody ever once during the last 2 months that i was there in my new department ever came to me directly to criticize my work (except for when i was shadowing my co-workers during my first week.) I often didnt learn about mistakes i made or things i could have done better until days or weeks later. every minor infraction, mistake or whatever is automatically escalated to the supervisor. from the most minor, insignificant mistakes to the most major, all are reported by the nurses to the supervisors. it makes new employees like me on edge because u are constantly on high alert thinking what next mistake will get u fired. u dont feel relaxe enough to learn and grow because u are constantly on edge knowing u are being watched and judged every minute. u are never given the benefit of the doubt. i even had nurses lie about my performance to the supervisor alleging i did something i didnt do. I was never given a full chance to defend myself. after allegation of wrongdoing is believed by the supervisor and taken as fact especially if that allegation is made by a more senior staff person against a new employee. u are constantly being watched and judged and rather than come to me directly with genuine criticism or suggestions, everything was escalated to the supervisor. and i mean everything. i understand patient safety and care is important but at the same time if a new employee makes a minor mistake that in no way put a patient at risk or harmed the patient, i dont understand why the observing nurse could not have come to me directly about something. it was so hard to learn the job because nobody (except during my first week shadowing) ever came to me with criticisms or concerns. i didnt learn about them until days or weeks later and i was then asked to defend myself when i had no recollection of the alleged infraction because it had occurred weeks earlier and i was given only the bare facts with nothing like date, time, name of patient, floor, etc. basically what it comes down to is is if u want to work somewhere where u are friends with ur co workers and u want to work somewhere where u can vent a little or make a comment in private to him or her, be prepared to be tattled on. nothing u say to any co-worker there is kept confidential. everyone spies on everyone else. and everyone tattles constantly on others. u never know who u can trust and who is out to get u.

Preparation for scheduling the work to be done because of patients needs and wants within the departments.We worked in a shop area on equipment repairs like patient beds or pumps or kitchen and housekeeping equipment. We could go to our Manager  and tell them what we needed or cost and they would get parts ordered or new equipment if it was more cost effective to replace without any problems. He was great from all stand points in what we suggested or for help in determining what to do or how to handle a situation. We all had some type of specialty and you could ask your co-workers for information or help and they would always jump in and help get things done. Hardest part sometimes was scheduling some work to get around patient care or the length of time to get a job done without  delays from emergency request unexpected.The most enjoyable parts would be if a patient was having trouble with anything in their rooms was knowing we could get it done while they recovered from whatever it be surgery or some sickness without interfering their sleeping or care. Both in a time frame as soon as possible or causing any problems while they were in our care. Sometimes just letting them talk while you worked and just having someone communicate with you and know someone they mentioned or made their day. They always had the right to fill out a report if they wanted to relay it to our manager or The Hospital CEO with a Compliment and The Administrator would post it in the The Hospital News Bulletin or Department Bulletin board.You felt good about pleasing that patient and your contribution.

I would avoid working here at all cost. I was a PSA and went to work every day feeling like a bolder was crushing me. If it’s not the patient’s treating you like trash it is your own coworkers and sometimes even management. I have dealt with nurses trash talking my position saying how they “don’t understand why it exist and that PSA’s are only good for orange doors, if even that.”. My supervisor was quick to say something would be done about it but nothing ever happened. They just simply put me on that floor little as possible but in the end it happens on every floor you go on. You are told that you get tons of opportunities to advance and move up in positions but HR is so rude and do not know how to communicate. One time you’ll hear that they sent your application in and the next they will go off on you and tell you that you were never even a valid candidate. You have to constantly remind staff that you also need breaks and a lunch. More than once they have refused to give me one to where I contacted management and he simply told me it was a reoccurring thing and to personally message him if it ever happens again. I have talked to other PSA’s as well and they all say similar things about the staff. There is a hierarchy and the nurses make it known where you stand to them, some even gossiping about you or others when patients are in ear shot. In the end I feel like I never left high school.

Worked in the lab for 5+ years. I loved it. We got a new director and downhill from there. 80% of staff left one after another, few hanging on until retirement. HR did nothing...obviously something wrong here. I was verbally abused and consistently working my butt off with no appreciation what so ever. What you got was fake, no good intentions in his body. He is only there to make himself look good and be able to take vacations every other month. He doesn't even know the half of what most of everyone's job title includes on a daily basis within his department. No room for advancement, and nothing was ever good enough. There was also terrible communication from him and little to to no education provided when he brought in all the changes, but still had high expectations. It's a clusterf*** in every way. Very toxic place to work. Overall, if it wasnt for the management I would have stayed longer. Unfair, terrible environment to work in.  My overall review is based on how I was treated in the end and how no one seemed to care at all after much hard work and dedication I put into my job there. No exit review offered to me. I even wrote a letter and no one bothered to reach out to me. Terrible. What once was a great place with great people ruined by one man and his inappropriate behaviors and demands, and abuse and sooo much more. Liberty Hospital, you could have done better.

From the very beginning of the onboarding process, Liberty Hospital made it clear that this is an organization deeply rooted in intentionality, culture, and values. As a chaplain, I immediately recognized that the hospital’s commitment to partnership, dignity, and respect was not just stated—it was actively lived out.

The culture was evident from day one. Every interaction, whether with leadership, clinical staff, or support teams, reflected a consistent tone of professionalism, warmth, and mutual respect. It’s rare to enter a workplace where the spoken values align so seamlessly with the daily experience, but Liberty Hospital delivered on that promise.

The environment fosters genuine collaboration and inclusion, making it a privilege to serve in a space where holistic care—body, mind, and spirit—is prioritized and supported. As a spiritual care provider, I felt both respected in my role and integrated into the larger care team.

Liberty Hospital is not just a place to work—it’s a place to belong. I’m grateful to be part of a team that embodies compassion, excellence, and a shared commitment to human dignity.

I work 1800-0600 3 nights a week. I care for the newborn after delivery, admit symptomatic infants to the NICU, and also provide care and education to families during the postpartum period. I have to think and work quickly when emergencies arise on our unit. 
I have been a charge nurse, preceptor, and am currently an NRP instructor. I take initiative and I'm not afraid to be an advocate for my patients. 
The hardest part of the job currently, is working while understaffed. I am a hard-worker and can manage a heavy workload, but I would like to have more time with my patients to better prepare them for discharge. 
The most enjoyable part of my job is taking care of my patients. Nothing is more rewarding than helping a sick infant become well or assisting new parents as they learn to care for their infant with confidence. I also enjoy the satisfaction that comes when my co-workers and I have worked together as a team and provided a safe environment where they can heal and bond with the newest member of their family.

I was administrative assistant to the CFO and CNO and assisted the Executive Admin. by assisting the CEO occasionally, as well.  Took care of their mail, correspondence, took minutes for certain council meetings, including Governance Council.  Kept electronic and paper files of hospital guidelines and had many other duties, as well.  The workplace culture was very friendly and amiable.  I learned much about hospital management while there.  Occasionally took calls from upset patients, relatives, and channeled to the correct hospital director.  Was occasionally asked to perform administrative assistant duties for some of the sixty hospital departmental directors.  When receptionist was away from her desk, I sometimes greeted visitors to the office.

A typical day at work varies, based on a rotating schedule.  My assignment will be either based in the central pharmacy to clinical duties on the floor, to working in the oncology department. I enjoy the variety. 
I learned diversity. I came from a retail pharmacy setting, and transitioned to hospital pharmacy.  These two worlds are very different, but Liberty Hospital made it possible. 
The work place culture reflects teamwork.  There is an appreciation for each other, and together we successfully accomplish the goal of excellent patient care. 
The hardest part of my job is admission reconciliation.  It is sometimes difficult to attain accurate medication records.  However, it is necessary for the safety of our patients.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the communion among the employees. My "work family" at Liberty Hospital were irreplaceable.

Great training and coworkers. Their HR has strict policies on not transferring to a different department/position during a 6 month period. The pay could be more for a very stressful field. Make sure to advocate for yourself for a higher salary before you agree to their offer. The ED dept staff is required to collect a specific amount of copays from patients daily.  I did not agree with this as it made me uncomfortable asking sick patients hundreds of dollars upfront. I wasn't told about the rotating weekends until my training. The staff have to keep a 97% accuracy grade on data entry. A whole lot to learn. If you get overwhelmed easily or have anxiety disorders, I don't recommend working for the Emergency Department as any position. Also, and this is unfortunate, the staff joke/make fun of patients. It honestly made me reconsider ever going back as an emergency patient.

Very busy administrative office.  I typed correspondence, handled inter-office and in and outgoing mail for the two administrators I worked for and a third administrator occasionally; typed notices, agendas and minutes for governance and corporate meetings; kept online and hard copy guidelines up to date; some data entry; made travel arrangements for seminars, conferences; meeting planning; answered phones; interacted with visitors.

I learned much about the many facets of what it takes to make a hospital run.  

Worked with management and many co-workers constantly.

Enjoyed being able to satisfactorily answer questions of management and directing former patients/visitors to best place for most direct help for their problems/questions.
