Productive and fun environment

Volunteer information desk, assisting the public (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 19 August 2018

A typical day at the Cambridge Memorial Hospital looks like helping visitors and patients find where they are needing to go, opening doors for elders, and locking up when the shift is over. The hardest part of the volunteering was keeping myself from getting sick, and the easiest part of the volunteering was interacting with visitors.

Pros

interacting with visitors and patients

Cons

getting sick

Clerks - Overworked/Stressed & Management - TERRIBLE

NA (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 11 July 2018

Diagnostic Imaging MRI Technicians:
Some are amazing but there are specifically very RUDE technicians there who feel they need to control and undermind their clerical staff.

Mgmt:
Expects efficiency ++ but will not allow additional training for the clerks when requested.

Too many Clerks for one Dept. There are 3 clerks and are now looking for another? Why does one Department need 4 Clerks? Think about it...They want the money to stay in their pockets instead of hiring a full time clerk for evenings.

Clerical Staff
Too burnt out and overworked. Stressed ++ The day clerk is amazing and trains the clerical staff however, too many clerks in the department. Too many hands in the pot. Requisitions go missing etc.
Repeating work tasks too much and wastes time.

Cambridge Memorial Hospital - Volunteer Receptionist

Receptionist (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 14 June 2018

While working at the hospital, I found all staff and volunteers to be empathetic, helpful, bright and funny in the off moments, I knew it was exactly the environment I wanted to work in, Thus, I completed the education required to switch from volunteer to employee and am now seeking such employment.

I can't say enough positive things about Cambridge Memorial Hospital. They truly are the caring, team members who work hard to make patients' care as easy and painless as possible.

Pros

Learning from Clerks

Cons

Materials Manager

Supervisor Materials Manager (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 25 October 2018

Loved the job and the people but the politics in this atmosphere and the union make it difficult to be a Manager. The inmates run the asylum there. If you can get past that its a good place

Great place to start, not to grow

eLearning Coordinator (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 14 December 2018

Although my experience on a year contract was fantastic with a great leader, there is some leadership shortfalls at the higher levels. Little room to grow.

Great Co-op Experience

Receptionist (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 30 January 2018

The most enjoyable part of the job was working with kind and patient receptionists that helped me learn more about the work they do everyday at the hospital. Since it was a co-op experience, I did not get paid so it allowed me to understand how its like to be a volunteer at a hospital and it gave me many opportunities to learn.

Gossip and Inappropriate conduct.

Clerical supervisor (Former Employee) – 700 Coronation Blvd – 25 November 2017

As someone who was in a management level, I for one would not recommend someone working here. I loved my front line staff. But management would often burn them out and continuously go into overtime to keep staffing levels to a bare minimum. The constant arguments with unions and wasteful spending to make the hospital unique from others.

Team Atmosphere ICU 10 bed unit

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 20 February 2016

Our days are busy and filled with interesting cases as we are smaller city hospital so in a way it is a benefit to us the staff, as we are always having to learn new techniques and methods of direct patient care. I work with a wonderful group of staff members and we are always laughing and making up our own fun especially when we are extremely busy with heavy loads. Budgets are always the fore most on every companies agenda and hospitals are no different. Therefore learning to adapt for clients' best interests gives myself and the rest of the staff I work with great satisfaction. At times though, budget restraints (and cuts), can be extremely frustrating. Being a front line health care giver I have been fortunate to have learned many additional skills other than direct nursing care.

Pros

Great team members

Cons

Long hours
