What do you like about working at Providence Health & Services?

"Flexible schedule. Decent pay. Many good coworkers and managers. Close to my house."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Positive enthusiasm goes a long way, but being professional and knowledgable goes even further."

What don't you like about working at Providence Health & Services?

"Some ridiculous policies. The tone of the shift will depend on the nurse in charge, so it varies. Most coworkers are excellent. A few are not. Lots of turnover, so new faces all the time. Procedures not always followed and often understaffed which makes some shifts a lot more difficult and stressful than they should be. Never see administration. Seems like nursing staff does not exist to them."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be more attentive to staff. Work on the little things that mean a lot. For example, cafeteria is only open Monday through Friday and only for breakfast and lunch. So those working evenings/ nights and/or weekends have no opportunity to get food since employees are not allowed to leave campus. There is only one toilet forthe ED staff, for both men and women (unisex). It is located right in the break room that only has three chairs in it. I would improve the conditions for staff. A little improvement would go a long way. The physicians have a lovely large comfortable lounge. The nurses, techs and secretaries have close to nothing"
