Mary Lanning Healthcare

A typical day at my job for Mary Lanning Memorial Healthcare consisted of my scheduling surgical procedures with physician offices, outreach clinics and physicians themselves. I performed a variety of clerical jobs for staff. I really learned at this job how to prioritize my daily assignments because it was sometimes very busy and hectic. The staff that I worked with were wonderful. They took a little getting used to at first because OR nurses work in high stress situations and they need what they need when they need it. This kept me on my toes also. Our supervisor was so nice and helpful. She was also an OR nurse who had many responsibilities and meetings to attend and her time was valuable, so when she needed something done, it became a priority. The hardest part of my job was in the way of our computer program. It wasn't very efficient for our department. The most enjoyable part of my job other than the wonderful people was the data entry I did. I was responsible for editing and entering of OR Record charges.

I worked for mary Mary Lanning for over 15 years in several nursing capacities. Coworkers are like family. Immediate supervisors for the most part very caring and attentive to their employees.  When certain high level management/executives came on the scene the whole organization has suffered. No longer is the original mission of serving rural nebraska as a priority. It’s really heartbreaking that they have strayed so far from what the Lanning Family intended over 100 years ago. 
I do believe that high quality care is given but trying to strive way too much for the big city type of medical center vs serving the rural climate of Central Nebraska. 
There is way too many in high level management that are very out of touch with what it takes to actually serve the patient population. 

Although days are stressful and busy, the atmosphere among staff is one of family.  Everyone is willing to help out to ensure that patients receive the best care possible.  The most stressful part is being frequently understaffed, but still required to get the same job done.  The most enjoyable part is working with a wonderful team and they make those stressful days a bit more tolerable.

Every day was different at Mary Lanning.  I enjoyed working through the Emergency Room doing crisis intervention.  I especially liked individual psychotherapy with my clients.  My co-workers were very supportive. We had a weekly peer review with the Behavioral Services social workers which I always looked forward to. The hardest part of the job was after hours on-call responsibilities.  It wasn't unusual to be called in during the night for an emergency assessment.

Mary Lanning is a good company. I decided for myself that I did not want to work 12 hours shifts, evenings, nights and on-call.

I worked night shift and 3-12 hr. shifts. Working extra shifts was available each schedule. It was busy, hectic and the senior nursing staff was excellent. I learned a lot about nursing while working there. The hardest part was the night shift and 12 hour shift which could end up being 13 hours or more.

Nurse:patient ratios are better here than most hospitals. Overall with frontline staff it is a family like atmosphere to work in. However, most hospital leadership is satisfied with not updating policies and still doing things “the way we always did it” instead of current best practices. A few nursing directors/ managers are completely hands off and disconnected from staff. Upper management and administration could use some freshening up

I would not recommend working at Mary Lanning.  They only care about certain individuals. People are not treated equally in this organization.  Upper management lacks leadership and honesty. They lack integrity.  The pay is terrible for many jobs.  The only thing Mary Lanning can truely offer is great benefits .  

Total patient care unit. Neurologist typically place patients on the unit. Received experience with Parkinsons, Huntington Korea, MS, WNV and rebound headache treatment. Infusions of Chemotherapy, IVIG and blood products. Hardest part of job was taking care of inpatient Hospice patients and their families.

There are wonderful floors and building but others and I have had terrible experience when transferring to different buildings/positions. HR is no help when it comes to solving issues in this area. ....and like I said.... I'm not the only one who has been through this kind of treatment.
