Oklahoma Heart Hospital

The only reason I took the position was for the schedule (M-F 8-430). During orientation I was super excited about my new beginning; everyone was positive and they openly prayed...TO GOD :) I was in heaven in terms of employment that is. 
The first week, I actually left work smiling: then I began work in my position at our business office and the atmosphere was completely different. Everyone was cursing, yelling at the patients and talking about each other. The manager over this particular dept made up her own rules and the supervisor is too scared to speak up about it or stand up for her people when we have questions or when something seemed unfair. 
You have to wait 45days until you're eligible to use your PTO, I didn't mind that but what I did mind is the fact that PTO is used for holiday pay. If you didn't have the PTO when a holiday came around, then you just wouldn't be paid for it, even though the business office closes for federal holidays. My thing is if you're going to close the office, why do you penalize us without giving us any other option? PTO is also used if for any reason the office closes early (weather or emergency evacuation). MMM HHMM You heard me right!
Lastly, when I was hired I was told I'd be eligible for advancement after 6months...well 2 interviews and a year and a half later...I'm still sitting in this boring job. Come to find out from a co-worker who finally was able to advance to a different dept, that the hiring manager told her she was intentionally denied advancement because she was needed where she was.
Oh and they ask you to do extra work that they're not willing to pay you for; the pay sucks anyway. The ONLY thing keeping me here is the schedule, but as soon as something else worth my while comes along...ZOOM!!!!!!

HR sets up the interviews but didn’t disclose pay rate prior to interview. And won’t even let you discuss it w/the management/potential boss that the interview is actually with. HR called me day after my interview and offered me the  position w/pay rate. The original rate presented to me was %20 less than my previous employer. 
The pay rate is calculated by HR based on a fairly rigid formula they do based on prior years experience - your actual qualities/skills/qualifications have no bearing on the rate. And the interviewer/potential boss’s assessment of you has no influence on the rate. Nor do they even get informed of the rate offered. (So, my boss has no idea that I am probably making WAY less than others in my same position - even though I do way more than the others and have much better work ethic.)

Company going through lots of changes currently = condensing/consolidating staffing. Especially management positions, leading to overextended management that doesn’t provide adequate support to their staff. 
Staffing shortages - due to staff turnover rate (people just keep quitting suddenly) and open positions remaining unfilled for long lengths of time leading are leading to overworked/stressed out staff. And then when they finally are able to get someone hired management hasn’t been providing them w/proper training support. So recently quite a few have ended up quitting within less than 3months of being hired. 

Lack of consensus on protocols/procedures is frustrating. Something will change in one area and I’ll only end up even hearing about it randomly by accident second-hand 

My typical work day would start off by checking emails and updating my calender. I would then recieve an update from previous shift and organize patient packets so they can be registered in order.  I would assist in answering phones and direct patients/family members to appropiate areas and collect copays as patients are leaving.  

I have learned a new system called, Cerner, as well as getting more familiar with the ER environment. I have also gained further knowledge of insurance. 

My coworkers and manager are great. They all welcomed me and have been very supportive.  

The hardest part of working at OHH would be learning a new system but it didn't take long and now I'm just as familiar with Cerner as I am with Epic systems. 

The most enjoyable part of my job is getting to interact with the patients.  Checking in to a ER can be stressful and I want to make it easier for them if I can.

I've worked here for around 2 years now, and it's by far a different atmosphere from the average hospital. In my opinion, how Oklahoma Heart Hospital is ran is how all hospitals should be ran. There's no mandatory overtime, your patient ratios are never maxed, there's a great sense of purpose and culture.

To put it into a good perspective, this was my first job as a CNA at a hospital and I never understood what all the videos on Tik Tok, Youtube, Instagram, etc. were upset about regarding patient ratios, help, and staffing. I picked up a PRN position elsewhere, and quickly found out. As a CNA, if you want to have ease knowing that you'll come into work with at most 8 patients, and 9/10 times have two nurses with you who are ready and willing to help, with a great management team whenever you need them, I'd highly recommend this business. 

The staff and patients I get to work with each day make going to work a lot of fun. However, it's really discouraging when management treats staff like they're not working hard enough, and all the work they are doing isn't good enough. On top of that, employees are being given more responsibilities to make up for lack of staff without any additional compensation. Anytime you ask about clarification in the pay scale, you're sent back and forth between your department manager and HR (neither of which can or will give you a straight answer) and you get a long meaningless explanation and threatened not to discuss it with anyone. Their biggest form of compensation is "care cash", fake money you receive for being good that you can use in their "store" to buy things that have the OHH logo on it. Management is not often open to feedback, nor do they advocate for their staff, and instead you're encouraged to seek work elsewhere if you don't like the way things are. 

I work as an inpatient coder.  I always have work to do and if it is slow there is usually a project that can be developed to review the quality of the department to keep me busy.  The team is tight-knit and quite collaborative and this is encouraged in the company.  My only complaint is that the manager is vastly underqualified and in over her head.  She is not a great asset to our team which is otherwise amazing.  "Enter with a happy heart" is the motto of OHH and I feel that employees in general do abide by this.  It's a very friendly and satisifying environment in both the hospitals and the business office. The most difficult part of the job is the tendency of upper management to micromanage experienced, educated, and skilled employees.  It makes us feel like we are kids rather than skilled professionals.  This, in my opinion, is the primary reason why we lose great employees!

The environment was more than toxic. The director fed into the drama and would call me and others to her office often when I'm actually performing my job and extreamly competent. One specific item was I rounded and took care of patients in the hospital in addition to clinic with a provided laptop and I got lectured about how I needed to spend more time at my desk. In her eyes bedside presence and excellent patient care came second to perception in an office with medical assistance. 

Overall I loved my coworkers especially the hospital side and fellow nurses who rounded. The Physicians were amazing and there was a respect that I strived for with them. 

I worked there for over a year and only left when my Doctor decided to leave the practice. I was told by the same Director I would not have a promised job there.

This is a physician owned facility which has its pros and cons. It does have a different feel than a traditional hospital with an amazing and supportive nursing staff. They are not competitive with current nurse salaries. That is unless you are a fairly new nurse, but don’t expect for that salary to increase much over time. There are very few advancement opportunities and little incentive to work harder for the organization. You will not be fairly compensated for taking on more responsibilities or showing excellence in service. This is a bit of a disappointment really since there are so many experienced and amazing people here.

The workplace is really nurse friendly in that the tools need to provide care effectively is readily available. Care for the patient and family members is provided with excellence, dignity, compassion, and the goal is to do it together as a team. I have learned that even though every person is unique with their own set of problems, they all need to feel special and important. The hardest part of the job is seeing someone who is unwilling to make the changes necessary to improve their health, but expects you to make them better. The most enjoyable part of the job is watching someone improve daily in health; this could be physically, spiritually or psychologically.

Oklahoma Heart Hospital is the best place I've worked. They truely care about their employees and families.

A typical day at work is consistently busy. There is little downtime. I've learned new programs, new softwares, and new daily work techniques. I've learned that all departments must work together to continue to make the company stronger as it grows. The most enjoyable part of my job are my co-workers. They are supportive, friendly, nice, and wonderful. They are great! The hardest part of my job is the work can be repetitious.
