Saint Lukes Health System

● Work-life balance
If you take the initiative, work hard, and help your co workers when you can and show up for your scheduled shift, it works well and a good boss will back you on job flexability.

● Pay & benefits
Pay is bi-monthly
PRN status will not allow working over a set number of hours in a year, so you have to be careful to maintain that status if it is important to you to be PRN
PRN nurses not eligible for benefits
Merit raises once in a while if you qualify.

● Job security and advancement
If one is willing to put in the efforts, I believe the management team will support you for that

● Management
I was there for a long time.  When I grew accustomed to my managers, they left.  In the time I was there, we had several.  Some were awesome and made you want to work hard.  Others were just okay.

● Culture
I NEVER felt racism or discrimination in any way shape or form.  My co-workers never mentioned feeling those things either. All of us were encouraged to exceed standards. The ones that did not want to work hard were the first ones to cry foul.

● Overall
Initially, I worked at Saint Luke’s full time.  It quickly became my entire life, except for sleep.  That is because nursing is very demanding.  Not because I felt forced.  It was just what needed to be done.  To fill in the voids. However, my home life suffered and I choose  to go PRN.  I lost all benefits, such as insurance, paid time off and vacation pay, but it was worth it.  I loved my job even more after doing so and found the balance between my family and work was perfect. 
Plus, I could work as much as I wanted. However, I learned I needed to be careful not to consistently exceed 27 hours a week to keep my PRN status.

Working in this environment can be toxic and overwhelming especially if you don't participate in self-care. I think certain managers take time to set aside coaching times to help improve your work performance, but to also help you on an individual level away from work and how you handle your stress. I appreciate the classes offered on self-care. as well. 
A typical day is always different; however the structure and routine is the same and this helps provide consistency to the milieu which is important for the kids to learn and for correcting negative behaviors. 
I believe management is fair; however there are some that choose favorites. I do appreciate the time and energy some put forth into me to help me strive to be a better person. 
The culture is positive for the most part. There can be drama amongst co-workers that is petty and childish. I think recently the hiring process had changed and it was definitely better when I first went to work there. 
The hardest part of the job is that is can be challenging due to the population that we work with. It is important to maintain professionalism at all times and to have patience. 
The most enjoyable part of the job is building rapport with the kids and seeing change right in front of your eyes!

I enjoyed the patients. The employees at the front desk make very rude comments about their patients.  If a patient is 3 minutes late to an appointment they are turned away and unfortunately the ladies at the front desk enjoy doing this. They are very negative and rude and I was a witness to it all. Not a great environment if you are a positive person who actually cares. During orientation they stress ergonomics,  but once you ask for a chair, because all of theirs are old and worn, they get upset. I was told by several employees who had been there over 2 years that I would not get a chair because they are cheap. (I never got a chair) The supervisor shows favortism and the majority of her  day was spent talking to her very good friends and co-workers. The environment is that of a high school, gossip constantly,  management will ignore u  you for silly reasons, they talk about you behind your back and if you have any person information you have to discuss with a supervisor,  everyone will know.  If you want a job that cares about their patients,  this job is not for you. If you want to travel down memory lane back to high school to experience gossip,  drama, tattle tales, cliques,  silent treatments, bullying, PLEASE APPLY!

The work was meaningful, and my team was hardworking and reliable. I was able to move up from a lead to a supervisor and really enjoyed the team that I worked with.

But while the work itself was great, the leadership made it unnecessarily difficult. My direct manager created an environment of fear and micromanagement. Constructive feedback was dismissed and was seen as a direct challenge. Favoritism was rampant, and accountability was applied unevenly—some were reprimanded harshly for minor issues, while others were allowed to coast.

Morale suffered as a result. Talented staff left, and those who stayed did so out of necessity, not loyalty. I wasn't able to advocate for my team or implement improvements since vocalizing any concerns was seen as insubordination. HR was telling employees to not report any issues as they were not interested in listening. It felt like we were constantly putting out fires instead of being empowered to prevent them.

The hospital itself has potential, and many departments are filled with compassionate professionals. But until management prioritizes respect, communication, and fairness, the department will continue to struggle under avoidable pressure.

I worked for this company for nine years.  Five years were spent in the ICU and the other four years spent at the Transfer Team.  I would say that my time in the ICU was the best job I've ever had and would probably still be working there if it weren't for a back injury.  The Transfer Team on the other hand  was a very poorly managed  environment and I would not recommend it for anyone.  The work itself was satisfying but again the environment was very negative. I know that there are management issues on some other units as well.  For the first eight years I worked there I had great benefits,  but in January 2017 they switched to a very specific small plan that  has been very frustrating to deal with.  Otherwise  they have a 401(k) matching plan, life insurance,  vision, short term and long term disability, and flexible spending. Despite that though I had to take FMLA for an extended period of time and St. Luke's HR was wonderful in working with me.

I quit a job that I was on for just over three years to have them fire me after two days on the job. I was told it was because they wanted a person that was going to be around long than a year or so. I told HR and everyone I only wanted the new job because I wanted a job that'll work better with my schooling, I was even ok woth the pay cut as long as the hours didn't get in the away of my school. On my 2nd after my boss found out that I was in school and was only going to stay with them until I was out of school, the next day I was called into the office and told they wanted someone with longevity and they was going to let me go. I wouldn't had quit my old job told only work for them for two days if they was going to let me go that fast. DON"T WORK FOR THEM IF YOU HAVE A JOB KEEP IT BECAUSE THEY WILL JUST LET YOU GO AFTER A FEW DAYS WHEN THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU OR WANT YOU. I WAS ALSO LIE TO ABOUT MY PAY AND WHAT WAS THEY JOB DUTIES. They can't keep ppl just look at the number of job they always have open, that should tell you that they have a fast turn over. 

My typical day was walking on the eggshells because of our awful leadership team. We never had the support we needed. They were consistently, encouraging unethical practices, such as falsifying maintenance documentation on a machines, not appropriately QC materials to make sure that they were safe for patient care. Multiple people on the team feel like, the leadership team is a mean girl clique. People are consistently being set up to fail and then get made fun of by our coordinator for failing. I submitted a 29 page report to HR with a plethora of evidence and including multiple people that were involved with every incident that they could contact for further evidences for a hostile work environment and lying on documentations and after months of “investigating”, they decided that their results were inconclusive. Not only will I not be recommending this is a place employment, but I will absolutely be advocating for people to get their healthcare services anywhere but here. 

If you thinking about applying for the Instrument Technician position

--------------------------------BEWARE-----------------------------------------


All the hospitals I've worked I never seen anything like this. Instrument Technician is one of the most important positions in the operating room. No Sterile instruments. No Cases. No Profit. 

Every workplace has its flaws but I never seen a department with no type of structure, no accountability, & horrible leadership. I seen 4 people quit plus the current supervisor all in one months time. This is suppose to be a teaching hospital people are not getting properly trained on how to sterile process instruments. Most new employees are getting trained on how to do short cuts which can cause error, patient infection, lawsuits, and patient death.

I hope upper management/HR/PR really read these comments.

This department can really thrive if we can take care of these issues but I have a feeling it will take a patient life or a huge lawsuit for things to change (Sad)

Their mission statement is "the best place to get care, the best place to give care". I have a worked for them on/off for 20 years and there definitely has been a decline in 5he best place to give care and it is affecting patient care. For a non for profit health system they sure act like a for profit health system. It's all about money there now. They don't care about their nurses or retaining their nursing staff. But their CEO's and their CNO's definitely haven't taken any financial hits. Their response to the nursing shortage was to increase patient ratios on all the floors even their post procedure floors. Charge nurses even take a full load so their is not any resources on the floors if you have a code, or a rapid response the rest of your patient load is going to be neglected. If your looking to get burnt out, unappreciated, and put your nursing liscense on the line then this is the place to be. Otherwise steer clear of this health system. It used to be a good place to work but not anymore.
