MEDICAL CENTER ENTERPRISE

This hospital used to be a wonderful facility to work at.  The nurses & staff are incredible, but they have been abused, beaten down, berated, and are leaving in droves now...as they should.  No longer are there physicians limiting the census and sticking up for staff against belligerent patients & an overbearing admin that is so focused on numbers that they fail to prevent their nurses from burning out.  They harp on poor patient satisfaction scores, but fail to recognize that understaffing and unsafe patient ratios (sometimes 1:9) is a significant cause for the precipitous drop in scores.  The addition of telemedicine at night for inpatients is a total disaster.  It is unsafe as it is currently functioning and, make no mistake, patients will die because of it unless serious upgrades are made.  The current MCE leadership is poor and needs to change.  They offer zero support to the staff.  When you have staff that has worked there for 20+yrs leaving for jobs with less pay, you know you have a problem.  The staff at MCE deserve so much better.  Patients deserve better.  It’s unsafe and a terrible place to work at this point in time.  Look elsewhere.

A typical day at the work place is not to awful, however I have learned a lot from this job. Direct Management with the floor is great its the Management above them that is careless and thoughtless. Work duties are often not specified or ever clarified. The workplace culture is rarely lively most often negative and over-worked, underpaid --- plus if you are ever upstairs be prepared to sweat the complete time and be the busiest with the worst equipment. The hardest part of the job is that you give it your all because this type of work is what you are compassionate about and then management and HR stomps you into the dirt constantly with "numbers" and "Scores" without them taking into consideration the complaints from staff that would help us improve patient satisfaction and care. To lighten up the mood the most enjoyable part of the job is the friendships that you build will last a lifetime and overall coworkers are compassionate to one another.

worked there for 4 years and fostered relationships with people on all floors which I really enjoyed. The pay is what you can expect for a rural facility but the atmosphere and Family feel made the 4 years fly by. left due to life changes and family demands along with schooling. All I can say is Interview your management in your own interview its sometimes a toss up and just like anywhere there's some toxic environments so make sure you ask questions too. Recently didnt return to my old unit because management had changed and failed to communicate after promising a position. They addressed concerns to the entire staff that appeared demeaning to my professional character thus preventing my want to return. Im sure things will return to how we all once loved them but as for me I am looking for new growth. Still a great place to work if your want to learn and make family.

Was hired for dayshift, but due to the lack of staff and the work load you are required to work long hours with very little help. The dept i was in is so out of date that the necessary equipment you need doesnt exists. For over 2 months i complained daily about the temperature of our working area was over 80 degrees daily. Coworkers have their little cliques that if you arent part of...your screwed. Management is awful...as he says.  "He doesnt like confrontation" and he doesnt address the problems. I have 21 years experience working in this department and i have never worked with people that are as backstabbing as  these coworkers were. Very stressful! Can't seem to keep employees because of the way you are treated.

You’ll never be good enough. Management is constantly barking about poor patient satisfaction scores but fail to mention they have to maintain an unsafe nurse/patient ratio due to corporate expectations and not wanting to “over staff aka save money”.  That is what every meeting is about, you’re not doing a good enough job. Patients aren’t happy so they don’t care what your side of the story is. If they worried more about how the staff is doing mentally and physically maybe the patient scores would go up. Coworker drama, management just turns their head about it, people who are lazy and complain about everyone else gets to move up in a position instead of getting rid of the problem.  

You either like the ER or decide it is not your "cup of tea." You either enjoy taking care of people and found your calling, or think you're in it for the money. And that kind of thinking will burn you out.  It takes nurses working together as a team with one common goal, and that's providing the best possible care for the patient, in a safe and secure environment along with their family. If there were more nurses in this world who believed in this, we would have happier patients, better working environments, and less nurses staring at their watches and racing to the time clock like their life depended on it.

They do not seem to care about the evening shift in CT because it is understaffed, but overflowing with patients.  Most days, one person does as many as the day shift, and they have 2 techs.  

I have learned how to manage with less help, but I pay for it on the off time.

The hardest part of the job is balancing the work effectively.  

My co-workers are nice and a couple of them actually come back and ask if they can help by transporting.  That is a huge help!  Others take their breaks and play on their phones.  This can be frustrating.

I enjoy when the pace is steady and the shift goes by with no glitches.  This makes for a good night.

Over all the coworkers and report with the Drs in my area were the only reason I stayed. Upper management is corrupt. The CNO slept with a bunch of people and  everyone knew and did nothing. Can't keep a CEO so the culture is constantly changing but no real progress is ever made. Reminds me of our current political climate. Admin is totally disconnected from the real world of patient care which is why we are all there. MCE only looks at and cares about numbers and sadly the patients are just another number.

My Experience with chs has been mixed.I have fine co-workers except for one slacker .I was given responsibility over every piece of equipment in several buildings and have done a job worthy of note but it is just best for me and my family that at this time I move on.
