Current Employee – been working at Mountain States Health as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – The hospital system is a great one to work for. I have had experience at both Indian Path Medical Center and The Johnson City Medical Center. Both have a family/team atmosphere. The organization stresses Patient Satisfaction and complete care (mind, body, and spirit). The system offers a wide range of services from Behavioral Health to Pediatrics.

Cons – A great deal of stress is currently being placed on department management.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue asking your department managers for their input and advice and trust in their advice as they are the ones on the front lines.

Pros – MSHA allowed for me to begin training as an RN before every graduating. I was able to complete a 3 step Nurse Intern program (paid) while in school with a competitive above minimium wage pay. MSHA paid for me to go to nursing school in exchange for a 3 year contract.

Cons – It is difficult to get started with some seasoned veterns as a new graduate. If you are skilled enough to be hired into a specialty area one must fight for validation.

Former Employee – worked at Mountain States Health full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – The offices were clean and there was coffee.

Cons – The job is so boring. There is little to no human interaction unless you are not doing your job. The training was mimimal to say the least. There are 40 different programs to do the work through and they are not tied to one another so the productivity is low.

Advice to Senior Management – Change up the environment some. Invest in a computer program that will access all records rather than have 40 different ones just to look up accounts.
