I worked as a Registered Nurse at Utah Valley Specialty Hospital and highly recommend it as a great place to work. Every day I came into the hospital I was able to make a positive difference in a patient or family member's day. UVSH has a strong culture of kindness that forms the foundation of the care setting. All of the Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and PA's are kind and take the time to explain the rationale for their decisions and treatment options. They also take time to help Nurses learn and develop. The Respiratory Therapy team is great. Aleena, Cassy, Jared, and Britney have been especially great to work with. Jeff and his therapy team are skilled clinicians who will jump in to assist with basic care tasks when the nursing team gets overwhelmed. The two main Speech Therapist I worked with Ashley and Katie strike the perfect balance between advancing recovery and preventing aspiration. For patients with tracheostomies, you couldn't ask for better people. Unit Clerks including Cathy and Aly create a calm collaborative environment that helps coordinate tasks so none of the patients wait too long for care. The maintenance team led by Lance and Roberto simply gets things fixed quickly. There were no unnecessary lingering maintenance issues at all. A few of the housekeepers I loved were Janet and Ruby. They do a great job and make the day of the people around them smile. The Nursing team will provide you with the support you need to succeed. Linda is the best nurse educator I have ever worked with. Connie was my mentor, I aspire to have the skill, initiative, and grace she displays every day. Abe and Whitney provide the leadership to keep the nursing team rowing in the right direction and advocate for safe and intelligent decisions. Sometimes saying no to ideas proposed by people outside of nursing is needed! The wound nurse Leanne is helpful and knows how to provide the best environment for wounds to heal. I'm leaving a lot of great people off this review, I think you get the point. I only left this job to take care of my family out of state. If you're looking for a place where you can make a positive difference UVSH is a great place to work.
