St. Lukes

I have been working the in the ED for approximately five years and I have to say it is NEVER a dull moment. A typical day for me would be doing EKGs, fingersticks, phlebotomy, collecting urine specimens, and undressing patients and more but it varies from day to day. I get to work with so many patients and coworkers; it is interesting to interact with them and learn from them.

A couple of things that I have learned from this job is that:
1. We ALL need each other, teamwork is utterly important in order for things to run smoothly.
2. In the ED, it is important NOT to take thing personally, it is stressful enough.
3. Stay calm; anxiety is contagious.
4. I have learned how to prioritize in the ED.

Management:
My boss is great! I have been blessed to have such a supporting boss. He has worked with me, so work can fit into my academic schedule.

Coworkers:
I have a lot of coworkers in the ED; therefore, it means a lot of personalities. Enough said. I am peaceful person and I try to maintain in a harmonious state. Understanding and being culturally competent is the key for working in my department. For the most part, I have some great coworkers, they've wished me well and are glad that I have obtain my nursing degree.

The hardest part of my job is dealing with clients that don't want to be helped. It is a challenge to convince them that we are NOT there to hurt them.

The most enjoyable part of my job is when around department gets together to celebrate special events. It is a time where everyone can let there guard down and just ENJOY.

I was lucky enough to receive help obtaining this job. It was a temporary job at first in a separated office across the street from the main building. Company records were to be organized and indexed into company databases for computer use via computer scanners. 
I learned to take confidential forms and separate various kind of files into their designated form type and then scan them under the designated file tab for their database record, making it easier for doctors and the staff to find specific records with dates and so on. 
We were a small team of temporary workers, so it took at least a year to complete. Despite having a temporary and soon useless position, my supervisor and co-workers were very considerate of my needs such as work schedule and at time needed breaks. I had to revise my work schedule twice, and they were very accommodating. They even invited the temp workers to the work Christmas party.
I'd definitely like to improve and work under St. Lukes hospital again.

The information shared in my interview did not even come close to what was expected of a Front Desk Coordinator.  After my training I was very concerned that I made a mistake in accepting the position and they made a mistake in offering me the position.  I had know prior experience in this type of position but the manager interviewing was too busy joking with staff which made it look like it was a fun place to work.  Once I was "on the job", it became exceedingly clear that I had made a mistake.  I was berated for being too slow, told that I was basically incompetent, when asked what I needed to improve, I provided a list of ideas and was told that they could provide none of the help I requested.  After almost 5 months of trying my best, I broke so I resigned.  No job is worth this!

The job requirements were not unachievable, I was not trained propely whatsover , I was promised a position with zero follow through.  Management consists of a senior citizen with a Karen haircut, that tells you what you want to hear & A middle aged lady with serious confidence issues & feels the need be on defense with every soul that she's intimidated by (Which seems to be anything with a heart beat). And I know there's a third manager, but I have no clue who she is or what she does, she's never on the floor, I've physically seen her maybe twice.

On a typical day at st.lukes its OK you see alot of things you wouldnt expect for just being in trasportation. Management has its ups and downs but for the most part their OK. My co-workers are cool they make the time at work fun and help the time go by fast. The hardest part of my job is that we are on our feet the whole 8 hours no 15 min breaks.The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting the patients and interacting with them making their stay fun even though its not for fun just putting a smile on their face makes all the work we do worth it.

A typical day as a patient transporter would be assisting patients move out of their beds, stretchers, or wheelchairs while handling medical equipment safely including IV poles, oxygen tanks, and/or catheters. Also supporting patients physically and emotionally.
This Hospital has a great energy as well as great teamwork and the coworkers were supportive and friendly.

I only worked here because there was no other places to work that would pay what I needed to paid at that time in my life. I needed a job and they hired me. But I would never work there again unless I was forced to. Twin Falls needs some competition for this hospital. They don't care about their employees. They have been taking the benefits that they used to offer to the employees away a little at a time. Its really sad.

A typical day at work is running the tray line to make sure all patients receive their food on time . learned alto about diets and sanitation.management was very helpful whenever you need help . co workers were very fun to be around and dedicated to the job hardest part of the job is when you are short staffed more work , most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that your is helping people .

The hospital its self if a wonderful place full of amazing Dr's and Nursing staff. The problem with St. Luke's is that they outsource their managerial positions to a secondary company. The outsourced company is solely about the numbers instead of the employees.
