Generally a good and pleasant place to work.

ENAS (Current Employee) - Townsville QLD - 3 May 2019

Generally a good and pleasant place to work. Townsville is a teaching hospital so staff skill levels vary a lot. The introduction of iEMR (the digital medical record system) is terrible from a nursing perspective as it is cumbersome and glitchy, and has massively increased time not spent with patients and instead typing into computers. Doctors seem to like it as they no longer have to chase patient charts all the time. Contrary to QH public statements it has not increased pt safety, and is viewed by a majority of staff as tedious and time consuming.

Pros

good pay and conditions, job security.

Cons

iEMR. also if you have a "difficult" boss/NUM all complaints will be ignored.

Mediocre Management

Project Manager (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 14 April 2019

Poor leadership at the top, Teflon coated management, management culture is one of intimidation, inconsistency with enforcing discipline. Escalating bad toxic behaviour goes nowhere. Most enjoyable part of the job is working with some very professional health professionals who are passionate, caring and look after each other.

Pros

Passionate health professionals

Cons

Poor leadership, don't manage toxicity and bullying

Productive, Job Satisfaction

Endorsed Enroled Nurse (Former Employee) - North Brisbane QLD - 31 January 2019

Handover from one shift to the next . Writing information of health status of residents and new medical treatment. Organize escorts to take residents to different appointments or shopping. Continue with all aspect of day living and wound treatment plus medications. Sometimes help with doctors rounds and sending medications summary to Chemist. I like to organize my day by prioritizing tasks by their importance follow by all the paper work involved. Keep medication trolley clean, stocked up for the next team. All machines clean and available to be used in an emergency. Workplace culture; Too much power given to the wrong people. The hardest part of the job was death. To loose someone that I had a great friendship after many year of caring for. The most enjoyable part of my job is to make a difference in people's lives.

Pros

8 hours with lunch paid

Cons

only tea and coffee provided

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

And the best was putting a smile on patients and staff faces.
