Terrible place to work

Nurse (Former Employee) – Chatham-Kent, ON – 4 November 2017

The focus of care is more money/ bed availability oriented than patient centered.. patients are discharged sooner than their recovery because of the bed crisis!! Some physicians are terrible...they don't even see the patients nor do they assess them but get paid for it!!

Registered Nurse (RN) (Former Employee) – Chatham-Kent, ON – 14 August 2017

First time working in clinical setting as RN, staff there welcomed me with open arms, willing to train and educate a new RN with no questions asked. Everyone is positive, upbeat, willing to help when needed. Multidisciplinary team is amazing as well! Well run hopsital, was dissapointed to leave due to illness. Would not hesitate to apply again and be part of the CKHA team!

Fun and fast paced

Registered Practical Nurse, License CNO (Former Employee) – Chatham-Kent, ON – 14 August 2017

Working in the hospital on a medical unit was very fun. There was always new patients. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I learned how to time manage and accurately keep records of each patients day and activities. The hardest part of this job was family support when the patient was palliative.
The best part of this job was being a helpful part of a patients day and seeing progress daily.

Pros

Benefits and Vacation were above average

Cons

Not too much down time

Excellent place to work

Student Placements on Psychiatric and Surgery (Former Employee) – Chatham-Kent, ON – 30 March 2017

At the hospital. I develop strong skills and fantastic leadership, I Iove how we Health Care Providers shared the love and compassion for the patients in the moment of needs. Also if I have any questions, all of them were more than happy to help and guide. I am hoping to have the opportunity to work in that magnificent environment, where I can show my passion for caring and nurse.
In each floor that I had my clinical is a different experience and approach to clients. My favorite floor was Surgery floor it was fantastic experiences, giving me the opportunity to add new skills to my knowledge.

Clincal Placement for school

nursing student (Former Employee) – Chatham-Kent, ON – 15 December 2014

I had a wonderful learning experience while working at Chatham Kent Health Alliance. I did my clinical placements over 3 years and learned a little about their culture. The co-workers were very helpful and were a reliable resource for any questions or concerns that I had. The hardest part was being comfortable about asking for help. The most enjoyable part was the patients and interacting with them on a day to day basis and seeing improvements to their unique situations.

Pros

Great staff, technology, clean, friendly atmosphere.
