What I learnt: Today I learnt the difference between an AP resection, hemicolectomy, subtotal colectomy and an Ultra low resection. I am so busy doing my job that I don't get to learn all of the details of the  cool procedures I put people to sleep for.
Management: Don't understand how hard we work and are not overly supportive. Seem most concerned with the money side of the hospital. 
Co workers: MAKE MY JOB WORTHWHILE!!!!
Hardest part: Long hours being away from home.
Most enjoyable: My work mates and making a difference to the lives of my patients.

Working in a major hospital is rewarding with the satisfaction that your efforts in my position with maintenance can achieve very good results with quality and accreditation. The role included complete job knowledge on plant and facilities including financial balances. The job included many IT computer systems with all aspects of contractors, middle management and hands on work. OHS for all aspects of minor and major works

Very full on right from the time you walked in and sat down. Maternity Wards/Units are always interesting.  I loved where I worked and staff I worked with.  Gained an enormous amount of knowledge working here.

Hardest part of position was the volume of patients booking in for delivery, just keeping their paperwork up to scratch was a challenge.

Best part of my position was the amount of babies born, Just loved being part of this Unit.

I would not recommend any proposed employment at NPH, management is the most serious issue at most levels in particular the General Managers during my time of employment. The level of disgruntled staff during this time was high, there was next to no recognition, incentives or opportunities of improvement provided

In my 40 years of employment I have never experienced such a Toxic work environment. At least 80% of staff end up leaving and the others that are left would if they could find work. Such a nasty place to work. Not one employee that works there likes it.



very busy place always juggling 3or 4 tasks at once very demanding and stressful at times learned a lot in this place from filing to correspondence meeting and greeting doctors and patients was a great pleasure

Management does not care about the staff. There is no encouragement or thanks for good work ethic and no consequences for poor work ethic. Constantly working understaffed with increasing workloads which effected patient care.

I enjoyed working with my fellow staff members. The job was good and my fellow staff members were very helpful in teaching me. The managers I had were very approachable. The hours varied and were good.

It gives workers a roster to balance work and life 
It has established positive and supportive workplace culture
It gives secure permanent position - Overtime and Oncall pay

The staff at Newcastle Private Hospital are so good at their job and go above and beyond for the patient’s.Working with the ideal of supporting everyone.
