I'm looking for some honest opinions about Providence Alaska Medical Center from both an employee and patient perspective. Is it a good place to work? How is the administration? Thanks!!!

Why the need for two threads?

Because no one replied to the first one. I actually meant to post this one in the Alaska (other) forum.

Providence is a GREAT hospital. My mom used to work there and she enjoyed it. my sister and brother were born there in 1990 and 1994. I went there when I broke my arm and their promptness and service was great. IMO the best hospital in Anchorage.

horrible place to work. family friendly benefits that no one can access. bosses get mad at you for paying attention to your family. good hospital but not for billing. they have a zillion different systems that don't share info so they never get your insurance info right.

Betsy and I have both been kicking around the idea of returning to Alaska, this time to stay. She is an RN and I am a NA1, I have years of experience working with alcoholics and addicts, and quite a bit of experience with psychiatric dealings with adolescents. Betsy works psychiatric nursing, mostly with adults, is charge nurse for the Adult Admission Unit (AAU). Both of us would prefer to work in Alaska, my question is.... Which hospital in Alaska would suit our purposes best,...or... phrased another way,...In which Alaska hospital could our skill sets be put to the most efficacious use? At present we are both gainfully employed with the largest state run Psychiatric facility in the State of N. Carolina, a hospital of last resort. Of course, a lot of my friends tell me I am perfectly suited for work in Butner, NC, I'm not always sure I'm being paid a compliment.

Default Providence Hosp

Don't know what Providence is like now but I lived in AK for 17 years and we carried a card in our wallets stating we were Providence preferred. We were lucky and never needed any type of medical care while we were living there. But reputation was you wanted to go to Providence if you ended up having to go to a hospital.
