Do you work at Mount Sinai Med. Ctr in Chicago? Tell me about it!

U.S.A. Illinois

Hi everyone,

I am hoping to relocate to the Chicago area within the next few months. I have an appointment with HR at Mount Sinai Medical Center to discuss potential employment in the next few weeks.

Do any of you work here?

If so, I am looking for whatever information you can offer me, that I can't find on the internet.

-Do you like your coworkers, manager, etc?

-What is the area like around the hospital?

-How is the acuity/patient population?

-Would you recommend this hospital to a colleague?

Any and all information is appreciated. Considering the economy and the state of nursing/employment, I am thankful even for the potential interview!

Many thanks,

Ahhh, thank you so much! I am getting excited for the future :) I know I can work this out and have a great experience! Now, let's just hope I get a job offer....

I was a volunteer at Mt. Sinai in peds and it was a good experience. It seemed like the nurses were happy for the most part. The area is a little rough, but not the roughest. I think there is a free shuttle from the hospital to the EL station (you mentioned Metra, but that is the public transit station that goes out to the suburbs, for in-Chicago transit it would be the CTA/EL). The EL station is the California Pink Line and it is about a 5-7 minute walk from the hospital. I don't know how young and spry you are (I assume so if you want to live in Wicker Park or Bucktown), but a bike might be an opportunity. Otherwise if you live in Wicker Park you could take the Western bus (which is about half a mile from Damen and North, so again if you live in the western part of Wicker Park it would be ideal) and then walk about three blocks from the corner of Ogden and Western to Mt Sinai. I don't know what the area is like after dark, but again it can be rough. I live in Pilsen, which is the slightly more gentrified community next to where Mt Sinai is and it isn't bad at night for the most part.

If you are young living in the suburbs could be not so much fun. But that is just my opinion.

Great, thanks for the information!

I will be living in the city but further north. I plan to drive in since I will be doing night shifts.

Thanks for sharing your experience!
