Experiences with Highland Hospital?

tough place to work. indigent population.

so to work there you have to have a sense of humor =)

as tough as the staff may seem at first, they are really cool people.

i think

former highland hospital employee oakland ca, i was there 6 years, to ans. your question it depends on what your looking for and what you expect as far as working environment and conditions, acmc is an excellent learning facility and you definately will be busy so get ready and know your med. surg., it gets realllllllly crazy at times, but over all i enjoyed my experience at highland, if it wasn't for me being accepted into LVN program i'd still be there, there are alot of good people there and some bad, my experience with the doctors was great!!!! as well as the nurses but they can have there moments too so get ready. . but u must develop tough skin on some days because it can be a bit trying......

Thanks for the replies. I might be able to get a job there as a new grad nurse in the Med/surg (I got family working on it... great to have connections! :up: ) So I guess we'll see what happens. My dad has worked for ACMC before but in dietary. He says you get great benefits with the county so that's a plus. I've read reviews about Highland and that it's the best place for trauma patients and it gets stressful there on the floors... so obviously it's making me feel a little nervous about it. :no: That's why I wanted to hear from anyone who's worked there or have been treated there at all. So yea, thanks!
