Montefiore Nyack Hospital

Nyack Hospital provides a great working environment, However there is very little room for growth. Promotions were impossible to get. Especially if your department manager needed you. I've witnessed unethical practices on the behalf of HR in cooperation with department managers. I watched nurses be denied transfers to other units and be subject to false right ups in effort to keep them from transferring. The union had to step in and contest the right ups which came back unjust, allowing the nurse to transfer. I witnessed managers lie to new employees on annual reviews. telling employees that had never been late or written up that they did great, however we don't give perfect scores. then have the score the employee signed off on come back to haunt he/she when being considered for another position in the hospital. I know of qualified employees applying for higher positions in the hospital and never being granted an interview after being told the hospital hirers from within first. other than the shady behavior I enjoyed working at Nyack Hospital.

The hardest part of the job was when employees did not meet the job requirements.  Called in sick.  I learned and respected all the physicians in the group. How to deal with patients and families in a professional and always respectful way.
I learned how to establish employee training and job descriptions   I handled the payroll and all the banking for the group. Handled all the practice bills. Handled all the insurance company’s the practice wanted to become a provider for.  Had to go to many Medicare and Medicaid meeting.   Handled all patient and families concerns.   Handled setting up interviews for new physicians interested in working for the group. 

While working for this group I decided I wanted to become a Nurse.   
Had regular meetings with the Physicians to discuss any concerns and to discuss how we can improve the Practice 


Over-all, this is basically a "stepping stone" for many employees. Eventhough there are some long term employees here spanning over 20 years, the majority of new employees are looking for other places of employment within a year. This is due to sr. management.

Sr. management does not care about the clinical issues that lower management and regular employees deal with on a daily basis.This is due to them not being "clinical" or actually having a medical background in the areas they over-see.

Important things that are needed to do your duty are not always available because the hospital is always on "credit hold" with one vendor or another.

Do not be mislead by the plastic smile that you will encounter/receive from your "boss." They really don't care about anything but keeping their six figure salary.

If you decide to work here, be prepared for "the nyack way." AKA, hurry up and wait.

The supervision department is completely unprofessional. As supervisors, you are supposed to be the voice and face of the hospital during both day and night, however, every time an employee calls supervision for a call out, all we get is attitude from the supervisors. I have mainly experienced this with the day shift supervisors. They make inappropriate comments while on the phone without putting the calls on hold. As an employee, I am disgusted with their phone etiquette. Some of them clearly need training on this. I thought supervisors were supposed to be understanding and non-judgmental. If an employee calls out for a certain reason, they should not scrutinized or given attitude for it. We are humans and we do encounter situations that may interfere with our attendance at work. If Nyack Hospital claims to be a family/community hospital, they should live by it and so should their staff.

To say that this is a busy place is to say nothing. It was funny to read somebody's review that said that some RNs are lazy. At Nyack hospital nurse cannot possibly be lazy. A typical work day at Nyack nurses work 13 hours shift straight without breaks, bathroom time, or water. It is all luxury. Somebody can say that I exaggerate. People do not believe when nurses tell them about working conditions. Management is eager to blame nurses at all mistakes and errors that occur due to unhealthy and unsafe working conditions. Indeed, it is easier to blame staff than analyze roots. The worse part is to see patients suffering and not being able to help them. I know nurse who quit nursing profession after Nyack experience. My experience working at Nyack was also very bad. I still have my stress level up when I remember my time I worked at Nyack.

Nyack is a facility with all new senior leadership who work together to raise the bar for all employees. Nyack promotes a culture of safety for our staff and patients, and a just culture where staff understand that punitive behavior will not be tolerated.

My position includes at least 30% education of staff where I concentrate on the pitfalls of documentation and behaviors that can lead to liability claims. This is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job.

I work with 2 TPAs who oversee the collection of information and keeping of the database involving the lawsuits, claims and events involving Nyack Hospital. This is not only enjoyable but educational as my TPA consults are very knowledgeable and share their experiences and opinions on the handling of cases.

The hardest part of my job is end of life issues and dealing with families.

My first job in the medical field was at Nyack Hospital in 1973 as a nurses aid. i continued on my advancement in the field and became a Graduate Nurse in 1974,  i started my nursing career at Nyack.

i returned to Nyack seeking per diem employment about 11 yrs ago and have been there every Saturday since.  

In this position I am a Nurse Case Manager facilitating discharges on Saturdays.  a typical day at work starts at 7:30 and ends around 5pm.  

At Nyack, I have learned to be flexible and expect the unexpected.  Since I usually work alone on saturdays, with an occasional other person i like my co-workers very.  the hardest part of my job is working alone.  the most enjoyable part of my job is seeing a smile on the patient and families face when the patient can be discharged to a safe plan, home vs rehab, etc

Nyack hospital posts open positions and interviews for them just to be told that your job is not with them but with a outside company.  "Technically" you're not a Nyack hospital employee although they sign your checks. Payroll and HR avoids speaking with staff regarding any conflicts with your check and refuses to return your calls or emails. Raises are roughly a 20 cent increase. They started internal postings but then it disappears after 2 days. There's absolutely no room for growth.  And if you want to transfer from the outside company into Nyack hospital, you would have to resign and not work for them for a whole year before you can apply for a position in the hospital. Nyack is a joke and I would never refer anyone to work there.

The work environment is very passive aggressive. If you come in to work, they will target you for not being “friendly.” Their equipment (isolettes, transporters, etc) and policies are very outdated, especially in their mother baby/neonatal intensive care unit. The hardest part is being expected to go beyond the explicit duties of your role. The pay is average. Many employees are sneaky and conniving. Instead of providing feedback and constructive criticism, they will go behind your back and make false allegations to management. 

changing shift by giving report at bedside introduction to the pt. preliminary assessement. chart and medication check. then vs answering call bells attend to pt needs. communicate with md , pharmacy and lab. adm night meds do compleate assessment. document findings collect speciments. finger stick, dressing changes. suction as needed  document, .
time management, leadership. being a team player. 
the hardest part of the job is feeling in adequate not mesuring up feeling you forget something because of patient load and lack of staff.
most enjoyable is when i know i have made a difference in a pt and his familie members life, made a difficult situation a little easiere for the pt.
