Long Island Community Hospital

I have worked literally every shift possible over the span of 11 years in the ED as a Tech.  I learned more about disease processes, medication, pediatric vitals, pediatric conditions vs. adult.  I learned more about Nursing as a Medical Assistant then I have in actual Nursing school.  Winthrop has come a LONG way, they will only become stronger after the complete merge with NYU.

Co-Workers:  Every place has its issues.  What's different here is most of the time, if something is skewed, it's because someone is having an "off day" as we all do, the culture (more than the ENVIRONMENT if that makes sense to you) is of teamwork, even when one link of the chain has a bad day, the Pt. comes first because of a co-worker's ability to compensate, show compassion,  understanding, and further provide for that individual & their pts. Especially in the Peds ED.  We ALWAYS LEAVE OUR BURDENS @ THE DOOR PARTICULARLY WHEN IT'S NEEDED MOST! PT. CARE IS NEVER COMPROMISED...by the NURSING STAFF.

I will say that the Peds ED has better communication between Tech and RN, the doctors explain what and why they are doing ABC...they care about you as an individual.  Over time, you learn how they work, most of the time, you will know which doctor prefers what, when, why, and they always VALUE and TAKE YOUR ASSESSMENT into consideration.  The nurses in the PEDS ED go OUT OF THEIR WAY to TEACH their TECHS why they ask them to do certain things. You are very appreciated, educated, humbled and ACKNOWLEDGED. OH! and if YOU are BUSY they WILL DO THEIR OWN VITALS, connect to overhead monitors, etc. 

Over 11 years, I have needed to take 4 FMLA's and the Management has been understanding, compassionate, caring and beyond reasonable independent but in compliance with HR policy. 

 The hardest part of the job is VOLUME especially in PEDS, we have over the years hired more staff when we asked for it.

I know that construction is underway to build a bigger ED but we WERE a small community hospital & we have BLOSSOMED over time.  But that backed triage up.  Some providers keep Pts. way longer than necessary.  Some radiology residents and blood bank technicians took a ridiculous amount of time to provide results or impressions; WHICH DOES NOT facilitate Pt. flow.

I also think that although we have translators,  more needs to be done in office practices to PROMOTE Spanish speaking clients to call their doctor first.  Especially in pediatrics.  I also think that IMPROVEMENT NEEDS TO BE MADE WITHIN the PRIVATE PRACTICES in educating employees on Latin/South American cultures.  I am from South America & there, going to a HOSPITAL is the same as going to the doctor's OFFICE.

Or...older generations, and generations where kids grow/grew up with grandparents as a parent figure tend to have an outdated mentality/knowledge about how the disease process works.

It went like this: I have a cold, sore throat, headache, no temp, no rash ( a real rash) productive cough, NO MEDICAL Hx yet I ran to a hospital & demanded a medication.  OR.......I HAVE A SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITION & I DON'T take care of it properly.  Not bc I don't have health coverage; but because I DO NOT UNDERSTAND the SEVERITY, IMPLICATIONS, or COMPLICATIONS, SIGNS/SYMPTOMS because I do not see or FOLLOW-UP with my PROVIDER in the OFFICE.

I adore this job. I have a bachelors in psychology and was granted the opportunity to work in the inpatient psych unit. Everyone is very welcoming and professional in their work. People were receptive in teaching me, and helping me gain experience in the field, as well as conduct myself in a professional environment. I didn't like that I didn't have time for myself. I worked 9-5 and my weekends would fly by, and days would drag. I made a decent salary, but not a livable salary if I chose to enjoy the finer things in life. The food was decent, and employee areas decent. I truly fell in love with the team I was working with. I'm going to miss them a lot, but I know I must move on to bigger and better things. Going in I wanted to see if I'd still want to pursue psychiatry after being in the field. The answer is yes and no. I would love to be a psychiatrist, but it's huge expense, commitment, and stressful pursuit. Right now I realize I want to exercise my other responsibilities, a more challenging work flow, and a higher paying position, because I do believe in a comfortable quality of life, as well as a livable income. Being in the union really gave me a safe haven. I got paid fairly decent, and had great health insurance. A hospital isn't exactly an up and coming start up company with modern amenities, they maintained the old school tradition, a new school approach. I came into lutheran knowing my christian faith. They have a chapel which is great for prayer, meditation, and bible reading. The chaplain is always active and walking around the entire hospital serving our patients, as well as the Catholic priest, but not as much. It's a secular hospital that receives everyone with open arms, even the underserved populations. I enjoyed the employee benefits, such as the shuttle bus to the subway, and shuttle to the ferry which was free to the Manhattan campus for employees. I have no complaints, just great memories, difficult moments, and an unrelenting and reliable job. I'm most grateful for all the people I've met along the way, for the higher ups all the way down to the hard working union colleagues. I participated in a union protest for our rights, and I felt a surge of solidarity. I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. I was a community health worker and would take patients to appointments, do reminder calls, and take them to their outpatient appointments. At times I was jaded, but overall I truly cared for patient wellness, and long term health maintenance. It was exactly what I entered school hoping to open doors of opportunity such as this. My hope is to one day come back, not as a community health worker, but as a proper psychiatrist, and say greet my dear work friends once again. If not, you'll see me establish my roots elsewhere in the most natural way that I know how. Bottom line is I'm going to follow my heart when it comes to my profession. I don't want to be miserable in the work that I do. I want to be invigorated.

Management could be better. The titles definitely go to their heads.  I worked at 3 different locations and only one location was good at that time. Don't go in knowing more than the managers and supervisors. You will never get to speak up against anything that is done wrong to you, but they will believe everything management has to say about you. You don't have a voice when it comes to you and their minds are always made up about you. Do not try to even get them to listen. NYU very one sided and if the manager doesn't like you or anything you stand for good luck. You have to be a kiss (you know what)  to get respect or have management like you. It reminds me of high school with the different clicks. If you do decide to work at NYU
1. Work hard 
2. Stay to yourself until you've scoped out who's who
3. Do your work 
4. don't go on the internet for anything if you have to use your phone on your time
5. Make sure  you understand all policies this will be your friend
6. if people tell you about a person listen but still make your own judgment
7. ALWAYS DOT YOUR "I" AND CROSE YOUR "T" 
8. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
9. become a subject matter expert in what you do. you may get a chance to be promoted.
10. Don't let them get to you or at least show that they got to you. 

What i learned at this job is management isn't for you, especially if they don't  like you.

Most enjoyable part of the job were the co workers, reps and patients/ hardest part of the job was Management. 

There really is no culture in my opinion. They have a bunch of bitter older women in Management positions . They cant relate to the new technologies and cant advance and don't really know how to lead in my opinion. 

I did learn to always stay true to myself and to work hard no matter what. Your work always speaks for itself, unless its NYU.

Some ppl love NYU and i am not knocking those ppl. I thank NYU for the time and showing me that it was the wrong time and place for me and moving on from them helped me find a career that  appreciates the type of leader i can become and the type of worker i am all by staying true to me. 
 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was honored to be an employee of NYU Langone RUSK. I began as a student and a volunteer . In 2009 I was asked to join the Horticulture Therapy team/family by truly one of the most dynamic and passionate women  I’ve had the privilege to know.  For not than 20 years I loved learning from my brilliant colleagues and facilitating health and wellness to my patients and clients. When the pandemic hit NYU Langone Health rose to meet the demands. I unfortunately I was incorrectly informed that was furloughed. I was confused and heartbroken, feeling I was willing to do whatever task needed. Still I complied. I stayed in touch with my team throughout. When I reached out to HR administrators I was told they had me on record as abandoning my position ! 
I wrote letters and made phone  phone calls I spoke to HR several times with the promise of follow up
That never came. I felt abandoned by  my employer and  profession. The pandemic was a horrible time for so many. The losses were great 
I too lost significant amount of family members. It was hard but I never would have ever expected to have been so disrespected 
One day I hope to recover from the betrayal, no doubts that I will.
And yet I cannot offer enough accolades and praise for the care provided to patients families and the community  by a world renowned healthcare organization 
by truly brilliant and passionate individuals. 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The betrayal by someone I trusted 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
NYU  LANGONE HEALTH is an incredible think tank of  brilliant scholars and employees with the sole intention  and mindset of “How can I help “ to enhance the lives and wellfare of all, locally and globally 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My day no matter how long was a pleasure in every way. I loved the people I worked with and celebrated the opportunity to treat each and every patient and their families

A typical day at NYU involved being greeted by many coworkers who truly became like friends. Not every department had this facet but I was lucky for a while. Once i saw other departments, i quickly learned that you could feel unwelcome by often young employees who put in a few years and were unfriendly and quick to make you feel inadequate or try to do so.  Physicians were mostly friendly and appreciative but learning was geared more towards residents/fellows and mid levels were treated like interns most times.  

You can advance with time and effort given to a better position.  Compensation was fair and adequate and the annual increases were better than most other institutions. Environment is clean, pleasant, and many upgrades have been made over time and NYU continues to grow and succeed as an institution.  Often times co workers can become friends.


 As a major con were some in management postions (one female Mgr in particular)  being allowed to abuse her position by making so many staff miserable who would complain about this person. Despite complaints by multiple people within the department all the way up to Human Resources, many problems were swept under the rug.  If you seek to be world class, you have to be willing to expose the problem people and remove their position if it's being abused.

I would work in this hospital again since it is a great institution, with many talented staff members, but management needs to take staff complaints seriously and make warranted changes up to and removing problem people even if in management.

A typical day at work consisted of me taking control of the post-op recovery room where patients would go to recover after surgery. I maintained a circulation for the nurses whlile directing patients to vacant beds and filtering thier progress through our system so that family members could keep track of progress. I learned about many different types of equipment as well as their functions. Management however, was very weak. Employees would do as they please and management did not have a sense of control in the workplace. There was a lot of slacking. My co-workers varied in personaity. The workplace was very diverse with many different nationaities and cultures. I found that I enjoyed working and keeping myself productive, whereas my co-workers preferred slacking and gossiping. Nevertheless, this did not affect my performance. I am a highly motivated individual. The hardest part of the job was trying to keep things organized. Organization in a workplace where there are a lot of employees can only work through team work. The most enjoyable part of my job was satisfying the patients. Upon their daparture, often times, patients and family members would come to me to thank me for my services throughout their stay. It is a wonderful feeling to be ensured of your imeccable customer service while expressing compassion and understanding towards others.

Working for NYU Langone Medical Center was the beginning to my exceptional potential in Finance. I started my career as an Financial Analyst Associate working with the analysis and invoicing of federal and non-federal grants. 

I managed and submitted invoices to the project coordinator for six clinical research departments. I worked closely with the manager and analyst to assure accuracy and timely execution of documentation and expenditures for quarterly, monthly or annually invoicing of expenditures for payment. I submitted over thirty invoices monthly following all policies and procedures of the authorization submitted from the administrator for NIH funding. 

I created journal entries in the general ledger for transferring of fund information. I reconciled expenses that hit after the project period and recorded transaction on the next invoice submission. I worked very closely to all teams assisting with information that they may not be able to acquire because of there obligations to finishing financial reports. I learned a lot from being pro active; now I am able to work autonomously which lessens micro management when completing tasks. I complied documentation for the A-133 and all three years we  exceptional with the reports as a team and organization.

NYU Langone is a big enough organization that your enjoyment of your work will depend a lot on which office you are in. In my section of the organization, which was working with researchers, people were very nice, but I wasn't satisfied with the work I was doing, and I felt that management lacked vision as well as an organizing structure that kept projects moving and that encouraged quality and thoughtfulness. Faculty are trying to take on more and more and in the process can be very reactive. Colleagues also tended to get very bogged down in minutiae, which goes back to the lack of vision and reactive-ness. No one thinks about productive work environment solutions, like limiting what gets done over email, reducing meetings, etc. The team I worked on thought paternalistically and perhaps condescendingly about employee happiness (e.g. having a birthday cake for someone) rather than thinking in a way that respects us as humans and successful team members, such as more flexibility toward work from home situations and bonuses. And even though faculty take great pains to seem progressive and tolerant, one feels as a staff member that the faculty's point-of-view will always prevail, even if they are way outside of their depth in an area.

I loved working with the doctors and most of my peers. It’s management that’s the issue but not all management just certain ones for certain locations. NYU pays well however it is not union, the benefits are ok and the job itself is a revolving door. If you don’t kiss behind to the managers you are basically on a hit list. A lot of locations don’t respect time and if someone happens to quit or get fired you are expected to pick up the slack last minute or you are told that you can not work there. I’m sure it’s not legal being that they make you sign a contract with your hours however they get a lot of new people like that because they are eager to work and keep this “good paying job” in my opinion it’s not worth the headache. As far as school they only pay if you are going into nursing and then you have to commit to work there for at least 2-3 years in order to not repay. Anything else you have to pay out of pocket or they’ll give you up to 2.5k a year towards the school. It’s a great place to gain some experience. Best thing you can do is get the experience, go to school and leave to find something better which working there you will find MANY medical assistants doing. They use epic system and the job is pretty easy. Just triage and assist with procedures if any. Most doctors you don’t need to go in with unless it’s certain fields like ob/gyn etc. you’ll do blood work and that’s about it. It’s really simple and this goes for the clinical aspect.
