Health Sciences North Employee Reviews

In building maintenance the wages are extremely low for trades people. Work itself was not very challenging. Good if you don't want to think too much. Payroll is always incorrect and takes weeks to correct issues.

Pros

Calm work environment

Cons

Not challenging . Low pay

Fast paced and demanding

Personal Support Worker (Former Employee) - Greater Sudbury, ON - 17 December 2015

A very fast paced, demanding but educational, diverse and gratifying environment . Nursing staff was amazing and wonderful bonds and respect was earned and given. We felt important and we were treated as such. We gained respect of our senior staff and the valuable asset we made to them. ALL of the patient needs were met and exceeded, there was no rush and proper care was given. Injuries/hazards,spread of illness,skin breakdowns, were reduced with close hands on monitoring of our patients in our care with more hands on deck. (Hospitals should employee PSW's to alleviate pressure off nursing staff, help in ADL's of patients, help decrease "return" trips to hospitals and to obtain patient goals of returning and preparedness once home. I believe with more PSW's on the specific units assisting with transitional care, ALC patients, post-operative patients,there is a decrease in preventable "issues" that commonly arise)

Pros

Knowledge and continual learning

Registered Nurse - Oncology/Medical/Palliative (Current Employee) - Oncology - 13 February 2014

I enjoy it and its too bad i am moving away. I got to do a new grad initiative and then move to a whole new area for more learning. Tough transition but it was wonderful. I wish the Tim Hortons was open 24 hours.
