Mercy Health Services (MD)

A great place to start your nursing career because on the med surg floors you will see everything you learned in nursing school. Senior nurses are great to work with and will answer your questions.
You will learn how to  prioritize and time management because you will have a nurse to patient ratio of 1:6.  During the COVID crisis management did everything but listen to their employees who wanted hazard pay for working on COVID units. Management smiles in your face said nurses are heros and did nothing. But instead your PTO that you worked hard to save was stripped at their convenience, staff bounced around like float pool nurse without the pay. So now there is a mass exodus of nurses and anybody else who wants to be treated like a human being. I really though a religious based nonprofit hospital would want to set the standard of how to treat their employees but NOPE! 
Working here is not the worse but I would advise for whatever your reasons for working here have a plan B. Get your experience and move on because there is little to no raises if you count pennies and cents. There is clinical ladder but honestly who feels like doing that when you have sick patients to take care of and you have complete these projects on your own time.

Over the last decade, most of the independent hospitals in the Greater Baltimore area have been acquired by a larger healthcare conglomerate (Hopkins, UMMS, Lifebridge, Medstar, etc.) and as a rare remaining holdout, Mercy limps along without the resources of a parent organization.  The hospital suffers from mismanagement in the best of times, but when catastrophe struck this year, Mercy's leadership showed its true colors with a dangerous disregard for the safety of staff and patients alike, singularly focused on maximizing profit above any and all else.  The staff who care for patients, cook and clean, still embody the spirit of Mercy's original mission, and many units are truly like family.  Time and time again, leadership/management has shown that it clearly cares nothing about its employees and sadly, many of its patients to boot.  Morale is generally quite low, and staffing ratios have been a chronic issue for years, drastically worsening during the current pandemic.  Mercy would likely benefit tremendously from an affiliation with an umbrella organization to provide better expertise in successfully running urban hospitals, because the current management has very nearly run it into the ground.

My day at work as a medical records clerk was predictable, it wasn't any extra surpises on your desk to do. I come in knowing what to do and it was done. I only worn one hat and it was just as a medical records clerk. I can get all my work done quick and I had time to help others if needed. Management wasn't perfect but I've learned how to deal around that. My co workers was easy to get along with, they were supportive and helpful. What was hardest about my job was it wasn't challenging enough and it wasn't any room for advancement or no ladder to climb in the small office I worked for five years. I needed to grow and I felt myself getting bored with my assignments once I mastered them.But what I did enjoy the most about my job was the family oriented feeling I got working there, the treats, the rewards, and the freedom of going to lunch when you wanted to go (just as long it wasn't abused of course) What I have learnt at The Womens Gynecology center at Mercy was the importance of taking better care of yourself and being aware of the signs of Cancer.

STAY AWAY FROM HEPATOLOGY DEPARTMENT AT MERCY-BALTIMORE.  In the first week it starts off ok until management shows their true colors and show they could care less about the employee.  The two hepatologits  don't respect you, they yell at you, and if you speak up! they bite you and they turn you down.  They have power at Mercy and they lie.  They are not willing to teach.  They make you inferior, and so little.   But remember no one can make you inferior.  
They make mid-level providers over work, leave late every day around 8 pm.  There are other duties that you have to perform beside seeing patient as out-patients and inpatient.  These duties you wont know and they don't tell you during the interview.   you wont get interview by hepatologist mid-level because they want to hide all the facts.   They make you see many patients, cleaning your own inbox ( lab results, telephone calls, staff messages ), and cleaning the attending (hepatologist) inbasket that contain 100s messages, telephone calls and lab results, paper-works,   you will be constantly working with no break, no appreciation.

Typical day: 4 triage beds with most of them filled at same time, usually on continuous fetal monitors. One RN assisting but sometimes she was caring for active L&D patients at the same time as well depending on how well L&D was staffed. Most of the responsibility for assessment, FHR strip checks, exams and consultations with the OB residents on duty was on the CNM.
Decisions made to determine labor status, check for ruptured membranes, fetal surveillance needs, preterm labor assessments and frequently full evaluations on PIH status. Had a 4 hr limit on how long an OB patient could stay in triage or needed to be d/c home or admitted to a L&D bed.

This was a 12 shift day and night in- house position. No call, no labor or delivery duties except an occasional precip delivery in triage because the patient was too close to transfer into another room.

A typical day at Baltimore Medical system could include just about anything and everything. When I worked there Baltimore Medical System catered to mostly a geriatric population. It was important to be aware of their physical needs as well as emotional needs. Some of these older patients were just lonely and wanted someone to listen to them.
      As the radiology tech. my day included bringing patients into the x-ray room, taking their x-rays finding their x-ray jackets at the end of the day making sure all the x-ray exams along with the patients x-ray file jacket were placed in a green canvas bag for the courier to take to the Radiologist for official readings of the exam. It was my duty to track these jackets and make sure the official report was received within 24-48 hours. It was my7 job to maintain a filing system for the x-ray jackets to ensure they were easily obtainable. Other responsibilities included insurance verification and patient referrals.

Do not work at the liver clinic/Hepatology department at Mercy Hospital in Baltimore, MD.  
The two Hepatology doctors are narcissistic, psychopath, and enjoy flexing their power over others.  They are extremely bad and mean in a way that you get serious headache daily.  These unhappy doctors shout at you daily.  They are deluded, and think they are fighting some kind of war. They are psychologically intimidate you at work. Mercy Hospital consider them royal doctors, so they are immune and get away with everything they do.  NPs and PAs come to this department, and leave in few to several months.
You have to do all the work, your work and their work otherwise you will be labeled as something that they will come up with and everyone believes it.  How in the world Mercy allows such treatment with staff.  They are pretty much harassing.  With all these attacks from them, and at the same time you are dealing to fix someone's life and these poor patients are depending on us.

I went to a job fair one weekend for a Enviornmental Service position. (EVS)
The HR dept called back very quickly. I went through the paperwork and physical process and after that i had to wait over a month before I started working. On top of that, I didnt get orientation until about 2 almost 3 weeks after i started!!! Thus department staff definitely get treated the lowest of low. They think we are MAIDS instead of HOUSEKEEPERS. I've also learned that if you want your private business to stay private steer clear of management/supervisors! They will go right to the floors and tell your business to their "favorite picks". I know every job has their drama but this one take the cake for me. Hopefully after I finish up PCT Training, another department might not be so bad. They pay is decent and benefits are ok.  Dont think your gonna get much of a tuition reimbursement; thy dont even give half of a semester. 😡😱

I've been a Concierge for 2 years at this hospital and the management is atrocious. We have managers that don't come in and when they do come in they don't help when they can see us being understaffed. Half of the time I come into work stressed and hoping no one called out so I don't have to do the work of 3 people. If someone calls out you end up having to do work of 3 people and fall back on your tasks for the day. You end up exhausted because you're running around making sure everything is okay. Management also doesn't know how to do the job so they can barely help out and don't know how a shift should be run. You're often dealing with coworkers who do not want to help each other, they only want to criticize you and complain. And when it gets short staffed no one wants to work together as a team, everyone just wants to suffer individually. It's dog eat dog culture in the food service department.
