Qld Health is great career choose but big changes needed

Assistant in nursIng (Current Employee) - Cloncurry - 15 November 2019

Needs more training in the management area just like those in forced to small business and more people skills again like we are thought to use on our workers this should be all same for all not one rule for gov and another for private sector. Remember this can be an easy fix if you want to climb ladder of fortune by brown nosing remember you must have pride of place and respect to the staff by these persons put in these rolls

Experience and exposure

ASSISTANT IN NURSING, WBHHS (Current Employee) - Wide Bay QLD - 4 November 2018

Working for QHealth has provided me the fundamental building blocks needed for my future endeavors. From critical and critical thinking, time management, patient care and communication (interpersonal and interprofessional). Management barely recognise the work of the professionals, more concern is focused on financial dynamics. The workplace culture is varied throughout the hospital. The hardest part of my job proved to be challenging behaviours, not just from the patient but coworkers. Needless to say, my conflict resolution skills have been enhanced immensely. The most enjoyable part of my job, most definitely advocating for patients: being a voice for others; emotional gratitude when patients express being thankful for my service delivery; standing up for patients rights and ensuring safe current evidence based practices are utilised to deliver safe quality healthcare.

Pros

Acquired knowledge and pay rate

Cons

lack of support from management

As an AIN it is a special job as you work with the most vulnerable and sickest in a hospital setting but you listen,watch and learn so much.

Assistant in Nursing (Casual) (Current Employee) - Townsville QLD - 6 April 2017

i Have enjoyed working along side of the RNs EENs and allied health workers if you are willing to learn the staff are happy to explain things to you.You never stop learning. Most are very happy to work as apart of a team . Most important part of my specific role AIN is you work side by side with the patients/clients and to make them smile,feel safe you become someone whom makes their day.Love to see people smile.

Cons

Car Parking

If you dont want to work with bullies then do not work with Queensland health because they will do nothing to protect you.

Assistant in Nursing (Former Employee) - Townsville QLD - 16 August 2016

I enjoyed working with the majority of supervisors and nurses, I think the organisation mostly is disorganised with lack of communication even with constant meetings to review these outstanding problems. They need to start listening to staff about there concerns about co-workers, management and supervisors as I have learnt from my experience at Queensland Health that the bullies in the system get away with everything, while the descent worker has to be exposed to this behaviour continuously. This is a major problem in Queensland Health though I believe this will never be rectified or given any thought, training and consequences for there actions, not a slap on the wrists and moved to another department in the system. When this occurs which is often, it starts all over again with a new lot of staff. Queensland Health should be ashamed of themselves for the bullying and mistreatment of staff they have allowed to continually be exposed to this abuse without any help from management or senior staff in giving discipline reaction when these situations occur straight away, Queensland Health should Give up trying to solve problems with mediation, as this can put an innocent worker in a vulnerable position with superior management.

Pros

Good earning money

Cons

Bullying
