TidalHealth

I was a medical scribe at TH Cardiology/EP and in one year we had essentially the entire department in a sustained state of turnover due to the expectation of mandatory overtime and being shuffled around multiple Providers (12 at cardiology, 4 at electrophysiology). As Providers all had different expectations for their medical charting, this was difficult to maintain- bouncing around to 5 or more different Doctors/NP's in one week and being responsible for their pre-charting (essentially debriefing the doctor prior to the appointment) especially when expectations were varied across the board. Almost as a rule, we were always understaffed for the amount of Providers on schedule, leading to some of the scribes having to double/triple up their work. Management knew who would get the extra work done and constantly relied on the same two people to pick up all the extra slack, letting other scribes get away with constant tardiness, lackluster/incorrect charting, and general goofing off. While I enjoyed the constant learning, the disparity amongst how employees are treated/loaded up with work because management knows it would get done correctly, it was not a sustainable position. Heads up to anyone looking to join the company, these issues of "what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander" isn't restricted to just the Scribe department, it's a pervasive issue throughout the entire company. Also, EPIC electronic medical record management system was constantly undergoing updates and lab/procedure orders would receive new designations with no heads up to the scribes, despite us working in the charts/creating orders more than the Doctor's/NP's, as we would work on their behalf. Days are filled with frustration at Tidal Health. 

I loved being able to be a part of the diagnostic aspect of health care. Yes, I only drew blood, but blood tells a lot about the health and what’s going on. Management is… well… management. I was told they would be flexible and then that all changed once I started working. With the turnover so high, I was able to eventually get the hours and days I could work. When I comes to family and if you have kids, management believes work should come before them all, and it’s really sad. They don’t care if you’re sick either, just smack an N95 on and come into work. You’re nothing to them and it shows. Morale is so low. Favoritism is a HUGE problem with management. If you’re a hard/good worker, be ready to work harder than anyone else, they will push you to your max and then some. I was able to hone in my skill and become pretty good at it, but that’s all I can really say it did for me. You don’t get paid your worth, and the raises are sadly low. It’s not worth working yourself into the ground for such a small pay rate. Many workers have an issue with their pay and I am surprised there hasn’t been a strike of some sort for better wages. Healthcare workers are putting themselves in the line of fire for Covid and other illnesses and we can’t even get paid a decent amount. It’s sad when you work in a HOSPITAL and can’t even afford rent or to live anywhere BY YOURSELF, it takes more than one income to do so and it shouldn’t. Tidal is such a big company but yet they can’t pay their workers their worth and it’s upsetting and disappointing and just wrong. Hospital politics are horrible here and it just isn’t worth it. Go and get your experience, hone in on your skills, and then get out as fast as you can.

Working at TidalHealth for over 4 years has allowed me to learn the system, dynamics, and priorities. As with most hospitals, understaffing is a common. TidalHealth is adamant about charting, thus ensure your charts are close to real-time as possible, detailed, and accurate. There are limited opportunities for career growth, but those usually come with transitioning to more administrative/supervisory roles, unless you pivot. Overall, it is a decent job. While there are employee discounts, the benefits are not the best, but TidalHealth Regional is the largest hospital on the Eastern Shore and expanding. There is the common provider to nurse to aide/tech dynamic, so beware of that as a CNA. Be sure to only do what is in your job description, as nurses will try to share tasks - especially those looking to pursue nursing. You can actually get in trouble. 

The work life balance is what you make it- I worked PRN, so it was nice to not have to go often. The pay is horrible, and the People Department (HR) will give every reason to not pay you accordingly. The management depends on the department, I have heard a lot of complaints, but on the floor I worked for (Oncology), the supervisors were decent- I have no complaints. There can be unreal expectations for the shift, just do your best and work with what you have.

Working at TidalHealth is a truly rewarding experience. From day one, I’ve felt supported and valued. I enjoy being part of a mission-driven team that truly cares about improving lives in our very own community. The culture here is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on excellence—no matter your role, your contributions matter.

TidalHealth genuinely invests in employee growth and well-being. One of the standout benefits is tuition reimbursement, which has allowed me to further my education while working full time. It’s a clear sign that TidalHealth is committed to helping its team members advance and succeed. Another huge perk—especially for working parents—is the access to the childcare center . It’s made a real difference in balancing work and family life.

The organization also offers great pay and health benefits, and a wonderful work-life balance. 

Working at TidalHealth has given me a meaningful career—one that I’m proud of, knowing I make a difference every day.

I don’t feel the need to go into great detail because it would probably tell them who I am if I gave out specifics. All I can say is, that the workers are not paid fairly for their hard work and it seems that management is really lack luster in that whole entire facility. No matter what department you work in. If you have to work here, just do it for a little while and then skip town. Much better places you could work at, and that’s for everyone in any department. Would not recommend unless to build experience. Heed my warning. 

Your Coworkers are the only thing that makes the job enjoyable and makes you want to stay.

The pay is mediocre and don’t expect any bonuses or more than a 30 cent raise. 

Anything you or your department needs, don’t get your hopes up as even the littlest of things like pens, whiteout or phone batteries will take a minimum of a few weeks to a few months to get.

Only good thing is you’ll always have work there and have good job security as long as your management don't target you/want to hand out write-ups like candy for rules they constantly change.

The people you deal with and your management will drive you crazy and make you want to leave, and this thought is shared with most of your coworkers.

I have been happy in my position at TidalHealth. I’ve enjoyed working with the team, who are people who care deeply about the work they do. 

I feel supported by my supervisor and the team, and in less than a year of working here, have already gotten to attend a conference for professional development. 

I also feel I am able to use my skills and strengths in a way I enjoy. 

I feel the compensation and benefits are fair. I also like that TidalHealth contributes to a pension for you, and there is an additional retirement plan. The only negative is the high-deductible insurance plan, but TidalHealth does assist by providing a health reimbursement account. 

This job has sucked the life out of me. Turnover rate is horrible in all departments, pay is awful, you are overworked and underpaid. Managment was by far the worst I have ever seen in any job I've had in my life. They sit at desks all day and do nothing to solve issues or support their staff even with many employees expressing their exhaustion and frustration. Everyone here is extremely unhappy and hates coming to work. It's depressing. 
The only good thing I can say about this place is the support from my immediate coworkers (non Managment). They are all wonderful people and manage to support each other despite how unhappy the place makes them. 

I work Monday thru Friday dayshifts but also am on call after hours. During my career here I have learned so much about the type of nurse I am and the type of nurse I want to be, the beauty in nursing is there is always something to learn.
 My direct managers are great to work with as they both came from working on the floor and realize the complexity of balancing call life with family life.....Hardest part is knowing when you have done to much and when to stop, Telling a loved one that their loved one is either dying or died and watching their worst day of their life unfold.

TidalHealth is an amazing place to grow your career.  I started in a staff role and have consistently progressed into leadership roles over the past 5 years.  

Great support for individual growth along with support as a new leader.  TidalHealth is growing so quickly, there is plenty of opportunity to excel, no matter which area of the health system you work in.

Great work/life balance along with ample access to resources needed to get work done.  Visionary leadership and a new CHRO have provided a refreshed energy of excitement and optimism for where the health system will go next.
