Working in the lab can be hectic, however, that is expected for a busy hospital. The hardest part about the job was the lack of communication and constant drama between phlebs and medtechs. The job itself is easy if you are skilled, but understand there are people there that want to sabotage your efforts. I have seen many come and go, because of how chaotic it can be. You have to be strong-willed and level headed.

 The supervisor wasn't bad she just lacked communication skills and was never organized. Our schedule constantly changed to the point that people were not given enough notice to come into work. She was very skilled at phlebotomy, but her managerial skills were definitely lacking. Many of the phlebotomist there did not respect her, because of that.

The leads were all trained by different people so they each did their own thing, which was difficult. Since they each want you to do things the way they do it. This can make training stressful.

This is a great job to get experience and get all your sticks you need. It's just not the type of place you want to retire from. Especially, since the pay is low on average and does not always increase. Most of the people who have been there for years are very  bitter and it shows. Nurses can be a hassle but the general staff at the hospital are very friendly and helpful. There are just more bad seeds than good.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I created a number of strong and supportive relationships with other staff members during my tenure working here.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything! I have worked professionally for more than 40 years in 3 hospital settings as well as corporate settings, and I have never worked in such a stressful environment - little to no support from current C-Suite leadership, a hospital and company always looking for more from the team without additional financial support, an overall environment of distrust and absolute meanness.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You work tirelessly without thanks. It is no uncommon for many leaders to put in long days and weeks and even weekends. It's the norm instead of the exception. And there is no "thank you" for your efforts. A toxic uncaring culture.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive early, work your butt off, deal with a ton of stress, and then leave well after the end of day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Have potential but magenment suck especially on the 4th floor the worst, the manager is fake, biased  she have no clue whats going on  and  like to take in gossip and can't even run her floor, the charge nurses in the night does a better job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very short staff and management don't care about the needs of the parents.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is stressful even if you come in and tell yourself it's going to be Ok it's not because you have to pull trash house keeper don't clean the rooms in the morning until patients leave even if they stay for a month. Culture is a mixture.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Some days is  good and someday is  bad which you have your up  and down. No one want to stay their because of biased treatment and low salary.

I didn't mind the work as I did what was expected and am naturally fast-paced myself. I've got to meet a lot of nice members and everyone including the staff compliments the work I do. Though I have worked for over 3 years without a pay raise and the general manager tends to take many absences from work, sometimes weeks at a time. The manager was recently been reported by other staff and they are now working on trying to motivate the manager to start getting to work. The rest of us have been managing the place just fine though and there are no complaints otherwise except the fact that it is nearly impossible to advance or for any of us workers to get the word out to receive any sort of pay raise from the board. As long as you are fine working minimum wage until finding a new job, there should be no problems.

I had worked in I.C.U, prior to working for southern regional I had previous hospital experience. I never dealt with such unprofessional Nurses in my medical career. I had to buy soap, febreeze and baby powder from my own money ever week to keep my patient's fresh. The soap they had provided us to bathe the patients was not even soluble in water and did not create any suds to remove the dirt of the patient's. I had witness personally nurses who should had been sued and reported to the board of nursing of Georgia for negligence and was protected by the Head Nurse of ICU. The insurance was convenant with a fifty dollar co-payment, for everything...If you are serious about being in the medical field, and you are looking for an institution that provide decent care for their patient. The last place you would want to go to is here.

Access case management is typically challenging, as you are responsible for tracking patients from all points of access into the hospital units (except the ED). You will need to have great patience and communication skills especially when dealing with the physicians who do not often understand the implications of lack of documentation and compliance with the CMS regulations. The employees are particularly very friendly and willing to help. The hardest part of the job is not having electronic medical record, as such, you will need to literally scout all over the hospital to get to the patient's chart for review. Overall, this position allowed me the opportunity of learning new things, especially with the revenue cycle.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff members are nice, respectful and extremely welcoming 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You’re hired for one thing but once you start your job description changes.. It’s understandable that some changes  are applied(that’s the  initial assumption) but not the job itself !  
Management with the gossiping is unacceptable. They suppose to lead by example.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Staffing is low , which makes the work environment a little uncomfortable. Staff seems unhappy and this due to the pay.. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Once you walk in the door you are greeted with a smile (which is great). But when I go to my department here comes the manager with drama!!

This hospital was once a good place to work.  But then it was purchased by Prime Healthcare and the entire culture turned corrupt very quickly. Prime hires the most incompetent managers I have ever seen.  The manager I worked for was new, but he immediately started telling people who have been here for 10+ years that they were not doing their job right. Most of the managers are new, but they think they know everything when they really don't know anything.  
The CEO is perhaps the most incompetent one of all.  She is really nothing more than your typical dumb blonde who likes to talk about things that she knows nothing about. The entire staff jokes about how stupid she is.  So if you want to work here at Southern Regional, be prepared to be surrounded by bad management.

New management will not treat you like a human, will constantly beg you to do overtime instead of hiring, will ask you daily to take on more and more responsibility but if you ask for more pay you are a villain. Raises are nonexistent even yearly. If someone doesn't show up you are expected to perform both jobs for the same pay in the same timeframe and still make it to the meeting on time. What pharmacy department actually needs multiple meetings per day? The worst part is when they guilt trip you by attempting to frame their intentional understaffing as a 'patient safety' issue. Yes it is, but not because I don't want to work 24 hours a day.
