Read the community guidelines1. The employees’ cafeteria in the food court is inexpensive, which can save on meal costs.
2. The volunteers are quite enthusiastic (free labor?!).
3. The environment is fairly clean and spacious (for appearances?!).
1. The leadership is incompetent. They keep going around in circles on the same issue for a long time without reaching a conclusion, and they are good at making subordinates take the blame.
2. There are some very senior two-faced people who are good at making a fuss. If something does not suit them, they get the colleagues around them pushed out and take advantage of any opening.
3. The medical establishment’s officialdom plus a vegetarian religious image = fake.
4. Several departments have very high staff turnover. Some of the senior people there are difficult to deal with, and newcomers are treated like disposable chopsticks.
Nurse-to-patient ratio:
Day shift: 1:10. Busy to the point of exhaustion.
Night and evening shifts: 1:16–18. Busy handling admissions and miscellaneous tasks to the point of exhaustion.
Because Director Chien said:
“Just don’t be the last regional hospital.”
I advise anyone considering working here or being hospitalized here to be extremely cautious.
Year-end bonuses are tied to volunteer service and volunteer courses.
If you do not participate in and complete all the courses, you receive a “B” performance rating.
There are approximately 50 hours of courses per year.
The attending physicians do not have it much better.
They are often pulled away to give speeches or perform at volunteer morning meetings.
Volunteers must clock in before 6:50 a.m. for the morning meeting.
Employees have no benefits—no benefits at all.
There is no year-end banquet and no spring banquet.
At one point, many supervisors in the nursing department left.
For as long as six months, there was no nursing supervisor on night duty.
Nurse practitioners were responsible for handling two or three wards at night,
with only one on-call physician backing them up!!
I urge all healthcare workers and physicians considering coming here to be careful.
New employees must undergo a physical examination (including employees earning just over NT$20,000),
which costs nearly NT$2,500.
In any case, everyone should be careful.
It is not that the staff are of poor quality,
but rather that inpatients should be careful not to lose their lives.
In the end, they never pay overtime in accordance with the Labor Standards Act.
If you work extra hours, they simply add them to your compensatory leave balance.
Then, if there are fewer patients or less work, they tell you to go home.
If you have too many hours in the negative, you even have to pay them back.
I really do not understand why they have to ruin Buddhism.
