Fast-paced
Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 18 May 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedNursing through the pandemic has been very stressful. A lot of senior staff left but QCH still follows CNO/RNAO recommendations for staffing ratios which is unfair and often unsafe, leaving nurses to feel inadequate and risk their nursing license. That being said, the management has been very supportive to newer staff and provide patient care aids and extra nurses to share the workload. Overall, happy with the culture, support and opportunities.
Pros
Culture, support, attrition
Cons
Long hours, overtime, tiny parking spots (lots of scrapes)

Busy work environment, fun co-workers
Medical stores clerk (Current Employee) - Logistics - 15 March 2022
I love my job, most co-workers are very helpful but there is some backstabbing to watch out for. The atmosphere could be better without crooked management. You have to take the good aspects with the bad, location is perfect & close to home, rate of pay is well above the average. Wish I could get more hours

Okay
Environmental Service Aide (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 20 February 2020
Its typical, you learn what they need you to do. Management is the same as everywhere else. It's not hard as long as you do what you're supposed to do.

The first thing you notice about QCH is the culture. The people are phenomenal, and it shows from top to bottom there. People genuinely care about you and your work.

Great place to learn
Nursing Student (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 22 January 2020
I spent a month in the ALC unit at the QCH as my first nursing placement and felt it was a good learning environment. The hospital was being renovated and has some great new facilities. It's a great care agency.

Good for patients Not for staff
Senior Employee & Labour Relations Consultant (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 11 January 2020
Sadly staff are taken for granted not recognized for their hard work and commitment. No succession planning. Management is not supportive of staff hiring practices are questionable and people are leaving the organization

Had quite a few placements here
Practical Nursing Student (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 2 July 2019
It was nice to work here quite a few times for placement. It was great because I was able to familiarize myself with the hospital due to this. Most staff were welcoming and helped me learn quite a bit during my time there.

Hospital rating
Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Nepean, ON - 14 March 2019
A typical day at work in the Emergency Department is very busy. You will run off your feet all day long. However, that department is not for anyone. I like the pace and the constant flow of patients.
The hardest part of the job, is not to be able to provide the best quality of care for your patient on a busy day. Only, because the government "fails" in the resources department.
Pros
friendly co-workers
Cons
rotations with no master
