But it all fine because you get to put smiles on faces.

Nursing/Secretary/collecting data (Former Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 16 November 2017
From the time I first went to work at Oshawa General it was a great place to work. We had benefits and the workplace safety was second to none. We were proactive with patient safety and workplace ethics. Over the years it brought changes. Staff were laid off and not replaced, therefore making our workload very heavy. Nursing didn’t seem what it use to be. The standards of the hospital seem to be compromised. There was more stress. Certainly changes were needed and we had to grow but it seemed some things that were important were not a priority.

The ER is ruled by people who exhibit a Grade 9 mentality. Cliques and bullying are prevalent. Unit managers try their best but the number of managers the ER has had in the last 10 years is evidence of the toll it takes on them.

Benefits are OK

Poor workplace morale, lack of Staff Educator and continuing education opertunities.
Loved having a job with amazing pay and great bunch of people.
