UCHealth reviews

An unbelievable amount of micromanagement is business as usual. There were at times 3 supervisory crews working and responding to calls with only 4 actual crews in rotation. 3 crews supervising 4 crews, ridiculous. Pay is ok, but not at all liveable for the area, good luck affording a trailer within city limits. The city is growing rapidly, but the man power on the streets is stagnant, leaving everyone overworked. It's not uncommon at all to be dispatched before checking a truck and burned at the end of shift every day of the week. The homeless population make up roughly 25% of calls, more at night, and these are violent career transients, for the most part. If you enjoy fighting piss-soaked transients on nights and weekends for less than a liveable wage, all while being micromanaged (even if you're very experienced ), this is the service for you. I need to mention the facilities, or lack thereof. 16 ambulances packed into one designed for 8, but you need to be ready to respond to calls even if you're parked in by multiple vehicles. Crew quarters are gross, tiny, or non existent where they should be. Sitting in parking lots will take up a large chunk of time.

University of Colorado Hospital Has an outward appearance of healthcare excellence, however after being an employee for a while you start to see extremely concerning scenarios throughout the hospital. Oftentimes clinicians are overloaded with patients to an unsafe standard. Nurses can have up to four patients in the ICU without any relief staff willing to come in. Respiratory therapy often has complained about having triple the workload of any hospital in the state of Colorado. As a clinician in the ICU at university I have seen mini unsafe situations involving residents /new doctors not make good medical decisions. Management and administration have a culture of abuse and cover-up questionable instance that happen at the hospital. Just In the last 12 months there have been three staff members who had committed suicide on campus. None of these incidences made the media because the media has been paid off by the hospital. A neurosurgeon committed suicide in his car in the parking lot of the hospital and nobody spoke about it! Another employee hung himself from the balcony of the hospital and staff members that saw the incident were asked to go home and or resign from their job. The Hospital is so voracious in their ability to squash any negative reviews that this review will be taken down as soon as they find it. Lastly HR is not your friend it is there to protect the hospital and not the employee. If you feel that you have a situation that is serious enough to go to HR just simply find a new job!
