Love supporting others

Peer Support Worker (Employé actuel) - Calgary, AB - 4 septembre 2023

Alberta Health Services gave me purpose in life, i was able to use my lived experiences with Addiction and Mental Health. Working with professionals i was able to show what its like to live in recovery. The pay is awesome, but you'd think theyd have better health care benefits. Long shifts under union agreement, up to self to find work/life balance.

Typical Alberta Healthcare; Generally Resource Lacking

Registered Nurse (RN) (Ancien employé) - Calgary, AB - 1 septembre 2023

AHS is a huge organization providing most of the hospital based healthcare in Alberta. Foothill's Medical Centre is Calgary's largest hospital, and is a magnet hospital. Every possible service and specialty are here (with the exception of most Pediatrics (There is a Level 3 NICU - Neonatology, and Adolescent Psychiatry on site), Urology (Inpatient Urology is based at Rockyview General Hospital, but Urology Consults take place at FMC), and Vascular Surgery (which is based at Peter Lougheed Centre). University of Calgary Medical School is on site and Health Sciences Library. Great for Students and Residents/ Fellows. All patient care units/ areas are short staffed of Nurses, support staff. Some worse than Others. Burnout is high. Multiple support services (Food Services, etc.) have recently been contracted out and the quality of those services have plummeted. Management has historically been terrible, but has improved slightly in recent years. Nurses are generally angry due to mandatory overtime, denied vacations, chronic short staffing, and wages not keeping up with sharp cost of living increases in Calgary (and Alberta in General). Facility is HUGE, parking is an issue until you get a spot (waitlist is down to less than a year). Poor morale and attitude due to working conditions. Patients generally frustrated and angry at poor care due to short staffing and resources. Conditions have worsened for patients and staff in recent years.

Points positifs

Good for Learning (Student, Resident, etc), Almost all specialties on site, Newer units/ buildings in final stages of construction, pay and benefits (although now below inflation) historically good, HR generally responsive quickly, Lots of OT (but lots is also mandatory which is draining), Unions very responsive and powerful

Points négatifs

Chronic Short Staffing, Negative Staff Attitudes, Frustrated patients, Food Services for patients and staff are very poor, parking is a nightmare, pay for nurses has not kept up to current inflation, some buildings are old and in desperate need of repair/ replacement

Rewarding but demanding.

Physiotherapist (Ancien employé) - Calgary, AB - 29 août 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Knowing that your skills and experience are helping people in need.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Always moving the goalposts. They always want you to do more, with less.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Depends a lot on the manager, as the work can be inherently stressful. The manager who is familiar with and sympathetic to your role is the one to have.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Crazy busy or boring if clinic patients do not show.
