Long Wait for FT

Registration Clerk (Former Employee) - Niagara Falls, ON - 29 October 2023

Be prepared to wait years before landing a FT role with respectable hours. You will have to start out as a casual employee saying yes to shifts all the time to build seniority.

Has gone down tremendously

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - St. Catharines, ON - 5 September 2023

Bad staffing, managers do not seem to care about their staff, patients just put in rooms that are free, inappropriate patient placement. Slow in getting new wages in

Was very stressful at times

Registration Clerk (Former Employee) - Welland, ON - 23 August 2023

Not enough staff - didn't always get a break - worked a lot of hours with no days off. Always short staffed. Full-time schedule was terrible. We tried to change it but they denied our request.

Pros

Nice Staff

Cons

Not enough pay

Supportive and good orientation length

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Niagara Falls, ON - 15 May 2023

Seniority is big deal without considering work experience when it comes to assignments. Not open to new ideas and suggestions on evidence based practice but stick to this is how we do it here mentality

good people, odd circumstances

COVID-19 Screener (Former Employee) - Welland, ON - 3 May 2023

most of the screeners I was with were friendly, helpful, and accommodating to changing hours/schedules. The scheduling system for the NHS is horrible, however. Some higher-ups were kind and helpful, some were quite unresponsive. Overall fun easy job with flexibility but the scheduling system is horrible and some higher-ups weren't as good as they should be.

Very busy place to work and pay scale is very low

Very busy place to work and pay scale is low. No constant growth. Different patient population are found in the hospital. Easily you can get work burn out is staffing shortage is constant.

Covid Screener

COVID-19 Screener (Former Employee) - Niagara Falls, ON - 23 March 2023

Being paid $17/hr to monitor the entrances of the hospital is an unappreciated job. The managers job was a volunteer manager, so the transition to dealing with a growth opportunity for the manager.

Pros

none

Poor workplace

Registered Practical Nurse, Operating room technician (Former Employee) - Welland, ON - 13 March 2023

Very unprofessional place to work. Managers have no experience in operating room. Now they are hiring managers that are not even nurses, who have no knowledge of operating room or nursing. Very dangerous. Also hiring non nursing personnel to be trained in the OR. Very scary to know they will be taking care of you and your lived ones...It has definitely deteriorated our health care. Sad !

Pros

Job that pays my bills.

Cons

Poor employee support.

Devestating

COVID-19 Screener (Former Employee) - Niagara, ON - 18 February 2023

Working as a screener you spent your days being talked down to and ignored - the worst part of it was that this was fellow staff (usually Nurses). You think people within the hospital would be at least a small bit kind. The public was nicer to us which says a lot...

Cons

Rude coworkers, lack of care from management, toxic culture

Awful

RPN (Current Employee) - St. Catharines, ON - 4 January 2023

Does not support staff and staffing needs. Takes advantage of staff. Floats staff to inappropriate units. (RPNs to RN only floors like NICU and paediatrics) without premium pay or even training
