Montage Health

If you naturally appreciate and enjoy the Healthcare field, Montage seems to be a great fit.  There is a constant overflow of patients and there is always work to be done. However, the management is a HUGE letdown. 

They are so disorganized and it makes it impossible for there to ever be any real improvement. Nothing is consistent. Nothing goes as planned, and you can pretty much bet that "deadlines" are always extended. There are adamant "favorites" when people who deserve advancement are oftentimes overlooked. There have been distinguished people in supervisor positions with multiple complaints against them, yet their management does nothing to reach a resolution or counsel them. It has turned into a very untrustworthy environment with many letdowns when improvements are promised daily.

The most enjoyable part of the job is that you are consistently busy and you will always be learning new things. Though, the hardest part of the job is management and the toxic work culture they have willingly promoted. This has unfortunately trickled down - because due to the toxic environment - staffing is always revolving and it punishes those who choose to stay with more work and stress.

I have enjoyed my 18 years at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. They helped me get started with their WorkStudy program in conjunction with Monterey Peninsula College's Nursing Program. The orthopedic unit where I spent 17 years is a busy post-surgical unit. Average surgeries per day is 5, some days as many as 11. The unit has 20 beds. Team work is essential. Patients either go home after a few days with home care or transfer to a rehabilitation facility a few miles away, owned by the hospital. We are often discharging patients and receiving new patients simultaneously. The nurses have a good working relationship with the Medical Staff. The hospital also supports a Hospitalist program that is very efficient. Patient safety and customer satisfaction are the key words at CHOMP.

CHOMP is an amazing place to work. The work environment, people, and support from staff and physicians is excellent. For the most part, management is pretty good too and supportive of goals. That being said, CHOMP is not a teaching hospital and there is little opportunity for growth or movement. They are friendly to new graduate RNs and hire several of them, sometimes filling positions on units that other more experienced RNs are waiting for. Because of that, good staff sometimes leave to advance their skillset and careers elsewhere where growth is supported.CHOMP is also non-union and there are not many workplace protections for nurses that other hospitals in the area offer. If there were more opportunities to learn and grow, CHOMP would be the perfect hospital to work in. The benefits and environment outweigh any bads. 

emergency Room you get to know all the procedures and carry it with you always its like second nature you just react to the patients complaint stat.  Continuing education is a must cause every month there is always a new machine that you must know do to its a life saving unit. hospital policy is also a must to know cause of pat care and new laws that effects all hospital employees. Security is another policy to know. for me I was in security as a supervisor so I was able to put both policy together. Second nature was my work as a SR. Tech.24 years of my Life. My parents are now old that's why I moved to kings county. I am still certified C.P.R. and my knowledge in the medical field well its still second nature. Never went away.

CHOMP is a great place to work and truly supports their clinical staff in achieving their goals along with supporting them. I can only speak for the ED and CDU, but I truly enjoyed all my co-workers and the experiences. I grew more as a healthcare worker. Every physician I worked with was awesome and professional in every which way and I appreciated that. 

I would say that to be wary of management. They are nice, but per-diem wise you are sort of thrown around. Our agreement was changed multiple times and they seem to think you have all the free time in the world to drop everything and come and work a shift. Also, this hospital is known to be elite out of the others in the county, so you will encounter snobby coworkers and administers. Gossip is very high here! 

This was one of the most unprofessional workplaces I’ve experienced. The environment felt more like a frat house than a legitimate business—very little structure, no real standards, and constant distractions that made it hard to take the work seriously.

The company operates on 100% commission, which is not clearly emphasized upfront. You’re required to obtain health and life insurance licenses, yet the support, training, and stability you’d expect in return simply aren’t there.

Favoritism in leadership is obvious and impacts how people are treated and opportunities are given. It creates a frustrating and discouraging environment where hard work doesn’t necessarily translate into success.

Overall, I would strongly discourage anyone looking for a stable, professional, and ethical workplace from working here. There are far better opportunities out there.

I really like my co workers very fun to work with, willing to help out when day gets busy.  Some days are better than others, I like being busy it makes the time go by fast.  I learned that there are alot of different personalitys that you have to learn to get along its a give and take experience.  I love what I do at chomp but my job did change I worked for Chomp for 14 years the first 9 years I work in Radiology really like it, I was then switch over to PBS as registrar and it was very different, I had to learn there system and be trained for there type of work ethics,   were challenging, but I learn a lot.  The best part of my job is talking to patients and getting to know them.  The challenging part is keeping up with the fast past of business with appointments and phone calls and the busy day with everything else.

in a typical day I would start off my day jumping in and taking over from the other persons duties. I would see who needed to be registered and what form of id's I would collect from the patient. I've learned to understand how to register patients that were foreign and homeless, or they would come in by ambulance or they would be a victim of some sort. The hardest part of my job would be, seeing children really ill just cant help themselves due to their condition, also the elderly who are or have dementia not knowing where they are at. My enjoyable part of my job was that I can put a smile on some of the ill patients. Some of them did not have any family and all they needed was a holding hand.

In monterey, working at CHOMP makes you the cream of the crop.  The community is very fond of this place and it's employees.  The hospital is small, which means everybody knows everyone and rumors can surfaces quickly like a high school hallway if you don't nip it in the bud immediately.  On a lighter side,  knowing you're coworkers can build a strong team dynamic and family like feel. Staff Cafe is open for every shift, including nocs. Hospital does not celebrate Nurses Week, they call it "Hospital  Week" which celebrates the hospital in its entirety vs just the nurses. Great benefits. Not much room to grow...only transferring departments if you get bored.  Hospital is not a teaching hospital, only nursing students. Patients population is mainly only the elderly.

Days are pleasantly challenging and productive. I've learned Nursing is the greatest profession in the world. I've worked in mostly in Critical Care throughout my career: Telemetry / Step down and floating to ICU. I've worked as both a staff nurse and management. Regardless of my position I have always worked well with co-workers. Working nights for me was extremely difficult, not the work but the inability to get adequate sleep during the day. The most enjoyable part of my job throughout my career is at the bedside, providing patients with this best care I can deliver. I have incredible pride in the care I give my patients, because they deserve our very best
