RML Specialty Hospital

A typical night at RML Speciality hospital is good sometimes and bad at times. Meaning our patients have multiple Illiness and we try depresperately to keep them alive and well and clean and we attend to their ever needs.

I have learned from working at RML Speciality Hospital is that most of the Nurse's and Patient Care Technincians believe in what we do and we care and have empathy for all patients who come to RML. I also learned how to keep patients clean and dry and also to work together as a team so that we will not strain ourselves and bodies to care for tthese patients. We work together for patients who are afraid while on a ventilation machine so that they will fill safe and secure while cleaning them.

Our Management team is excellent when it comes to patients who are indistress. They are very knowledgeable as Clinical Nurses and they pull patients who are in distress out of the situation or send them to a facility where they can be saved.

As I mentioned above that the employees who work at the chicago facility coworkers work very hard and together to keep patients alive.

The hardest part of the job is to see patients receive comfort care. When there is nothing else we can do for them and see them pass away.It becomes a sad day and we always remember them.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to work with people who care about their patients.Our Chicago Facility loves one another and care about what happens to each other and if we are not at work we are concerned as to why.

Sincerely Yours
A dedicate Patient Care Technician

RML Specialty Hospital caters to chronically ill and highly morbid  patient population.  It is therefore a difficult place to work depending on patient load and acuities.  However, it can also be a fun place to work as patients and families stay in a long-term basis, and therefore, familiarity can make the job easier to do as opposed to acute care setting.  It definitely helps me grow professionally by being independent.  It also develops my critical thinking skills in dealing with these kinds of patients.  Generally, my co-workers respect me and ask for my help as I am a charge nurse and a Relief Clinical Supervisor.  The hardest part of the job is when patients and/or the families are very difficult to manage, behavior/attitude wise. The most enjoyable part of the job is: the management is very supportive of staff.  They listen to our needs and provide solutions as much as possible.  They even provide us with a gym. Also, they give recognition for deserving employees.

I:m blessed to have the oppoutunity to assist patients,vendors and staff,to provide them with customer service.I have the privelege of greeting and assisting with issuing passes to visit loved ones.Direct vendors to the right party.I also announce codes such as code blue red,etc.I also print census throughout the day,as patients are admitted,discharged,room changes,outpatient procedures,ets.I am also the main switchboard operator.Direct calls overhead page etc.I enjoy my job to the fullest,i've been providing customer service for about 20 years or more,i really enjoy providing customer service it's very important that the customer is always satisfied.I like to make a difference and go above and beyond the call of duty.I;m also very professional and pleasant which is also very important to me.My co-workers are very pleasant to work with and we work as a team always.My manager is very professional and accomadating and always reachable if needed.

Nice, durable and comfortable place to work if you enjoy dealing with patients, patients' relatives and Coworkers.  A typical day at work is getting report from the Unit Secretary that is about to leave for the day, checking on the patients to be sure they are alright; doing the boards, filing, data entry, preparing MD Rounds, etc. The hardest part of my job is dealing with the pettiness from my Coworkers who like to keep up confusion between the staff.  There is poor Management due to the fact that the Managers and Supervisors have tendency of covering up for each other when mistakes are made by the Nurses and each other.  A good enjoyable part of the day/my job is when we have no Emergency Discharges, Rapid Responses, Code Blue or Deaths.  This means that the patients are well taken care of and they are resting comfortable and pain free.  Keeping my patients at ease and smiling is a good thing for me.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I thoroughly enjoy caring for this critical population of patients and making a difference for the families!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s stressful when we have call offs, but everyone works as a team to provide the care necessary for patients and families.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone, including the managers work hard to help care for the patients. The CEO attended the first day of orientation to have lunch with new staff. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day includes monitoring vital signs, measuring input and outtake, monitoring glucose levels, providing assistance with activities of daily living, assisting with transport to video swallowing assessment, helping to in force a new RML Move program to improve patient outcomes.

A typical day at work in RML usually starts with a huddle in the unit and then getting a report from the outgoing staff. After the report, you need to rounds the patient's assigned together with the outgoing staff. The day will go smoothly or sideways depending on the patient's condition or family dynamics.

RML is a good place to work. You will have the opportunity to learn and grow personally and professionally. You will also improve your skills because of the patients that you will handle every day. Staff also are good and very helpful.

Most of the time, the patients are very sick and usually, they are from ICU
and anytime they will go sideways and that's the time when you will experience the hardest part of the job.

Just as the title says, I worked at RML as a PCT with a little over a year’s experience. I have never worked in a hospital setting before and was told during my interview that that wouldn’t be a problem. Flash forward to my first day, I’m thrown onto the unit and the staff training me was just so busy having 10+ patients to myself that they couldn’t even properly train me. Nursing staff thinks PCT’s are the only ones who should have to do any type of “dirty work” but will complain if you “don’t do something correctly”. I didn’t ever meet my boss or understand who was “in charge”. I was in training longer than I worked here.

I would not recommend anyone to work at the Hinsdale location the management there was terrible there is no room for growth and they were always short-staffed most of the employees their doesn't care about their work performances and management showed favoritism all the time on B1. The during the time of my employment I was not happy working here there was no room for growth management showed favoritism I would not recommend anyone work for this company if they plan on moving ahead unless you are friends with the manager.

I learned a lot about trach care in a very short amount of time. It was a very stressful job due to a great deal of interaction between physicians, nurses, patients and their family members. 
  I would say the people that I worked with did a very good job and were very adamant about patient care in getting the job done expediently.
  It was always very heartwarming to see patients discharged and coming back to visit a few months later and thank us for our work.

Very unfortunate. Very clicky. Very unprofessional. Very sad. Very busy. No support if you don’t fit into there click. So sad. I would not recommend working there unless they had an overhaul in management and in personel. It is so sad how they treat there employees who are just trying to help the Patients. Very political and people are very unprofessional and rude. The culture there is horrible and old. They need a new culture and they need it now. I would adopt a culture that treats the co- workers as customers and treat them with kindness and not judgement of any kind. I will pray that things change for them for the better. Good luck.
