With behavioral health Huguley hospital is just as bad as the rest of them. There’s no actual “therapy” that goes on here. Horrible team atmosphere. I was lied to about what to expect working here. The turnover rate is crazy high and for good reason. They don’t know how to properly treat you so they aren’t able to keep you. This hospital is legit a hotel for those who are homeless and have shown with each repeated stay there that they have no intentions on wanting to seek actual treatment and get better. Doctors are more afraid of losing their licenses instead of actually ensuring these patients get better. Manager doesn’t play a well enough role in the new hire orientation process, techs all do things differently which causes confusion, some nurses don’t lift a finger to help out when techs need it, techs pretty much do everything for a disrespectfully low hourly wage, you pretty much have to work there 10+ Years in order to have your paycheck even look halfway decent, management expects you to be a patient’s punching bag rather than defend and stand up for yourself, morale is insanely low, unit is tore up, raggedy and numerous repairs need to be made, patients are unnecessarily catered to, manager “tries” to get the unit in tip top shape prior to JCO coming but unit is poorly organized and ran, grown adults call the manager to tattle tale on other grown adults…i could go on but it’s overall seriously not a good behavioral unit like the manager tries to sell it to you as. Patient safety isn’t completely important but far more important than staff safety. Just avoid applying here for mental health tech position entirely. You’ll be glad.

To start the shift off I get the doctors call phone, and on-call doctor list ready for the doctor I am set to work for that specific day. Then I log onto the medical system and start to prepare charts so that I am ready to see patients as soon as the doctor arrives. When the doctor arrives we then start to see patients room by room. In some rooms procedures such as; incision and drainage, laceration repair, endotracheal tube placement, line placement, dislocation procedure, and many more are performed. During these procedures I am in charge of helping to prepare the procedure carts for the doctor, helping to cut the strings for the suture repairs, apply betadine or saline, and much more.  When cardiac arrests come in to the ER, I am also in charge of helping perform CPR along with the other nurses and technicians that are available.  I am also in charge of entering EKG's into the system, as well as the history, review of systems, medical history, health status, medications, physical examination, labs, radiology, and discharge information into the system to be on record. My co-workers which include the doctors, nurses, technicians, and other scribes are all very helpful with any questions or any help that needs to be done. I am also a new scribe hire trainer, meaning that as new scribes come through I train them how to do every aspect of the job that I do in order to make them the best scribe they can possibly be.  All aspects of this job to me are fun and engaging mainly because the doctors make the job enjoyable, and help to educate me along the way.

Always a very busy day starting with the list of lab patients whose lab orders had to be updated with insurance verification and demographics checks.  There were hundreds of patients from the previous days.  Also received faxes of groups coming together that had to be pre-verified to not slow down the lab process in the actual lab appointment.
I learned to be exactly what I had always been as far as work ethic description, do not stop until I was finished with as many as I could verify during my eight hours as accurately as possible.  Accuracy was the goal, then the number of updates finished.  
The workplace was designed for a space to work quickly and privately on the accounts.
The hardest part of the job was programs that sometimes were not available for what we needed.  This was not a common occurrence but it did slow down the lab updating when it occurred.
The most enjoyable part of the job was when I was actually in the lobby registering patients. They were for the most part very appreciative for being registered quickly and being spoken to like real people.  It was especially nice when they told me they were glad I registered them.

Huguley itself was great. All areas of the hospital went out of their way to show their appreciation for the respiratory therapists who worked so hard during COVID. Everyone,  except our own department. The Director and Clinical Manager of Cardiopulmonary made no effort to show appreciation or compassion for staff during COVID.  
They refused to work along side of us during COVID when we were so short staffed.  They brought in extra help to reorganize supply rooms instead of focusing on getting help for patient care. Our management both took long vacations at the worst of COVID while we worked ourselves to death. We did not get help from agency until January and they were awesome. A wonderful group of people. Our Didector has only been in place for about 6 months.  Since he has started 14 therapists have quit. His philosophy is do as I say, when I say, how I say with no questions asked. He has let it be known he thinks his current staff is subpar and replaceable. 

I enjoyed the environment and the supportive nature of coworkers there. The inpatient wing of the hospital is beautiful with state-of-the-art equipment. Management was really focused on installing evidence-based nursing practices and valued patient-focused care. My only complaint was with lower and mid-level management. I went to school to be a nurse, and while I accepted a float pool position, I did not intend to spend most of my time sitting patients or being a CNA. I did not mind it every once in a while; however, it was not challenging for me. I enjoy being a nurse. It was also not very consistent hours. I attempted to branch out to more areas, but was told there was not enough money to train. I had no choice but to look elsewhere. I still think it was one of the best hospitals I have worked out, though. I hope they look into supporting the needs of their employees a bit better. It is worth it in the long run to invest in the employees you have.

A typical day at work includes taking assignment on 6 patients, reviewing charts and orders and passing night medications. Part of working nights is promoting rest so patients can be rested and ready for procedures or therapy. I have learned not only critical thinking skills but also what kind of nurse I want to be. I want to be the nurse co-workers want to get report from and don't worry about handing their patients over to me. Management needs work only because there is too much focus on scores and numbers and not enough on quality patient care. If the nurses did not schedule themselves, I think they would not have an issue with being overstaffed one night and then short the next. There is no PRN nurse pool for situations like that. This and very rude doctors are the hardest part of the job. You shouldn't have to dread paging a doctor. The most enjoyable part of the job is when my patients say thank you for all your help tonight and when they say I slept so good, better than I have. That they had a good night in general is the best.

They say you will be on call 12-14 days a month but put you on call 22+ days. Management will leave early when your schedule is overly booked and tell you they are going to get a massage because they are just so stressed with all this work. 
They do not care about being professional. They will make fun of you, belittle you and try and talk to you like you are child.
