Congrats! We're you just an exceptional worker?
Haha........yeah, that.
No. I work at a 'not for profit' community hospital. We have had a booming year with way more patients than usual. As a not for profit hospital, they are only able to take in so much income to keep the place running, make improvements, etc. Anything above and beyond what they are allowed to take in and remain NFP, they distribute to the employees and gifts and bonuses.
I work for an awesome place. I like my boss, my supers, my hours, my co-workers. I consider myself pretty lucky to have a good job in this economy (I've been there since 1997) and to really like all aspects of my job. We have had quite a bit of training on fostering good working relationships with each other.....such as conflict resolution, etc. I can't tell you how much I love my job as in what I do, who I work for and the place I work at.
As a matter of fact, our smallish community hospital was rated 6th safest hospital in the whole state of Illinois according to Consumer Reports. We were also rated "most wired" in the state for the size of our hospital in regards to the use of computers for charting, auto faxing, medical records, etc.
Okay, I'll stop now. You can see I think the hospital I work at is awesome!! Consequently, we have very low employee turn over rates, therefore less cost in training new employees, better continuity of care, etc.
