Incredibly uncaring

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Berwick VIC - 8 March 2022

Top heavy management! No encouragement to improve or further career. Scary patient nurse/patient ratios and lack of quality qualified staff on. Too many shifts infilled, unable to retain staff.

Pros

It’s a job

Cons

No patient ratios

Bad experience

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - North Richmond NSW - 23 June 2020

The culture of bullying, nepotism and unprofessional management is rife within the facility I was employed at, I was employed for 17 years, the last 5 years were an absolute nightmare, they do not adhere to their mission statement, it's not what you know, but who you know at SJOGH.

Too much is expected of senior RNs

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Murdoch WA - 10 July 2019

Missing breaks to get everything done is not unusual. Night duty is terrible with 10 patients each plus Coordinator duties if you are senior. I literally never get a break at night. Going off late is also not unusual. Some senior colleagues need sensitivity classes as they really are so critical even in extenuating circumstances.

Pros

Colleagues who continually amaze me with their level of skill

Cons

More and more paperwork and administrative duties on top of heavy patient loads every single shift

Fantastic working environment with a focus on maintaining a home/work balance

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Perth, WA - 15 July 2014

This was a great job which I only resigned as I was relocating to Canada. The employers really focused on maintaining a work/life balance and understood the importance of family. Management were very approachable and one of my favourite aspects of this job were the friendships and excellent working conditions with Sjog. The hardest part of the job was dealing with patients and families that visited our intensive care unit and the stress associated with being ill. The most enjoyable part of this job was being able to strike up friendly rapports with other employees and patients.
