Would you give me some information about Kaiser Oakland?


Would you give me some information about Kaiser Oakland?
Does someone had experience to work at this hospital?

I may have interview with this facility this week for Med/Sug 12 hours Day shift position. I saw old posted message in this forum that Kaiser Oakland is a rough area. I am 20 weeks pregnant new mom. So, I am worried by hearing that this place is not pleasant. Please give me some information and advice regarding this hospital. Thanks

Default Re: Would you give me some information about Kaiser Oakland?
I worked in Oakland at Highland General and a couple shifts at Kaiser in the 90's. It was an economicly challenged area and the homeless would camp out in the Emergency departments for shelter and food. I worked the night shifts and didn't ever have any difficulty. I worked with several other travelers of various ages and genders. No one that I knew of had difficulty with safety. You do have to be aware of your surroundings though. Take a cab to work the first shift and inquire about the areas to avoid with your coworkers. Kaiser usually has plenty of security to provide escorts to vehicles and parking garages. Good luck.
