Sydney Adventist Hospital

My time at the SAN was very good. I worked in a variety of areas including some behind the scenes rolls as well as some front of house admin positions.

Days start early and depending on which department you find yourself in, they can run until your work is done, be that four hours or fourteen. Many of the people I met there are hard workers and are very good at what they do.

The most difficult part of any day is communicating across multiple departments when someone gives you a deadline. Department heads are busy people and they sometimes are not the most effective communicators.

I always got I kick out of showing people around the campus. It is a large area and it is easy to get lost in if you do not know where you are going.

I have to say that workng for the Sydney Adventist Hospital has been a fundamental part of my training as a nurse - have developed in my nursing clinical experience and learnt a whole deal of things along the way.

Co-workers are generally helpful and kind, with management in the Staff Allocations office being quite fantastic in giving me lots of work while I was there, I even enjoyed doing a few double shifts (total 12hrs) as an undergrad nurse.

The experience has been very good and beneficial to my career as a nurse. I have worked in the oncology. colorectal, cardiac, surgical, medical and day surgery to name a few wards - while working here.

The hospitality department is by far the worst in the hospital because you're under the most unnecessary scrutiny and micromanagement with the least benefits. Not because of the direct hospitality management but more due to the pressure from other departments. There is minimal transparency in communication and consultation from higher management due to language barriers, but even though this is easily overcome, the effort isn't made. Thus, those with better English proficiency get away with much more and less work. True hard workers are seldom rewarded; rather, the big talkers get recognised. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very Toxic Workplace nothing good to say. Save your soul and find somewhere else

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Toxic workplace from the top all the way down to key workers. Management won’t address issues when bought to their attention. I have never work at a more abusive workplace than this one.  Soul destroying 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic to the extreme. Needed counselling once I left

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful nothing good at all.

This was one of the hardest jobs I've ever had. It was full-on the whole shift. But in this position I learnt a lot. I learnt a lot about medical matters and treatment - but I also learnt something very different too. Working with the sick and the dying was the basis of another kind of learning that few other jobs offer. It provided me with a certain "insight", if you know what I mean...

I'm glad to have had the experience. It has proved valuable in many ways. But I'm also glad I left for more enjoyable and more intellectually stimulating pursuits.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The culture is great,  co-workers are very helpful and easy to work with

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is nothing I can think of that is stressful

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, customer based, employee oriented.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy day as always. But working with wonderful people makes it easy

Worked in the san in multiple roles over 11 years,
A lot of corruption in a few departments that HR should be looking into,
Pay is not to bad when your not having to pay to park you’re car on site,
If your not nursing or in a mangement role
Expect to kiss a lot of butt to get into the ‘favourites circle’ if your not in it expect to be chucked on whatever shift without being asked (favourites get priority on shifts).

I loved working there. Great team and good Christian values. Very family friendly and understanding. Management was fantastic very approachable and helpful. The best part about the job was being apart of a team with strong Christian values and having strong work ethic and working with a team that was highly mature was a massive blessing.

A typical day at the sydney adventist hospital is characterised by the positive staff and type of patients admitted at the time. Each day is different. 
Management are approachable and willing to provide help where possible. 
The hardest part of the job would be seeing critically ill patients at end stage of life. 
Most enjoyable part would be seeing the progressive recovery of the patients.

Somebusy somes not and its a enjoyable place t work because everybody is nice.They are very understanding and no one  look down on you they treat equally and the people there are very accomodating anf helpful
