What People Say About Us
From dedicated nurses and staff to the patients we serve — these are the voices that define who we are and why we do what we do.
“Opportunities You Don’t Get at Bigger Hospitals”
I like working at LA Community Hospital because it gives me the opportunity for great hospital experience and chance to work in various units. No matter which department I’ve been in, everyone is very helpful and gets me up to speed. You don’t get these kinds of opportunities at bigger hospitals.
– Ani, RN, Medical-Surgical/Telemetry, LA Community Hospital
“Leadership Support is Here to Support Us"
Los Angeles Community Hospital is dedicated to both acute patients and those requiring longer-term subacute care. I love helping these patients and watching them progress. I’ve been here 24 years and love our caring environment. We all work together seamlessly; when there is a critical patient issue everyone does their part, follows instructions, and leaves their egos behind. The teamwork helps staff members feel confident in knowing that leadership is there to support them. Nothing is in the way of achieving quality care here, which is why have so many veteran nurses.
– Uracha, RN, Subacute, LA Community Hospital
“Our Nurses have the Biggest Hearts”
I love being a nurse at Los Angeles Community Hospital because we provide care to an underserved patient population. These patients are truly grateful for the simplest of things; it’s so gratifying to help those in need. We provide true community healthcare. Any nurse seeking both a heartfelt experience and an in-depth knowledge of all areas of healthcare should come here to work to get a solid foundation for the rest of his or her career. Our nurses have the biggest hearts. From the first day I came here, I was greeted with a smile. I try to pass that same smile to my patients now.
– Tiffany, RN, Medical-Surgical, LA Community Hospital
“Continuous Learning Opportunities and Flexible Environment Allows Me to Further my Nursing Education”
“I began my career working at a nursing home, so joining Norwalk Community Hospital and its fast-paced acute care setting has been a great transition for me. Working here gives me the chance to work with more diagnoses and different types of patients. I also have had great opportunity to grow my skill set. Plus, there is always continuous learning opportunities and a flexible environment that allows me to further my nursing education.”
– Jayben, LVN, Medical-Surgical, Norwalk Community Hospital
“Diverse Patient Population Accelerates Learning”
Los Angeles Community Hospital is a great to work with a dynamic staff where you can both relate to each other and get the help you need to be a great nurse. I love that my coworkers are willing to help me with any issue. Our diverse patient population helps new nurses get accelerated training in all aspects of nursing—not just one specialty.
– Whitney, RN, Medical-Surgical, LA Community Hospital
“Quick Coordination Results in Comprehensive Care”
I’ve worked at Norwalk Community Hospital for 20 years and it has become “my second home.” I’ve enjoyed mentoring younger nurses in addition to helping critical patients get the most comprehensive care needed for their illness. When we get a challenging patient, such as cardiac arrest, we can quickly coordinate care with the doctors and departments, which can range from case management to social services to spiritual care. A nurse with natural leadership and critical thinking skills is a great fit for the ICU.
– Nenita, RN, Critical Care/ICU, Norwalk Community Hospital
“Many Critical Thinking Opportunities”
I came to Los Angeles Community Hospital for the great opportunity as a new grad, but I’ve stayed because of the many opportunities to apply my critical thinking skills to anticipate the next steps in a patient care. We are encouraged to think independently, while at the same encouraged to ask for support from other nurses and doctors, if needed.
– Jenny, RN, ICU, LA Community Hospital
“Collaboration Keeps Us Calm in the ER”
In the Norwalk Community Hospital emergency department we never know the type of patients will come through the door—from chest pain to orthopedic conditions to power tool injuries. We have to be ready for anything and switch gears quickly. It can be a high stress environment here, so we often share knowledge to provide the best quality care. Collaboration and teamwork also help us to keep each other calm and in check. This job helps one to build self-control and breathe when a challenging patient comes in.
– Philip, RN, Emergency Department, Norwalk Community Hospital
“It’s Like A Family Here”
I’ve been at Los Angeles Community Hospital for five years, and it’s been a great experience. I started as a new grad. The ICU was a great place to start because I was able to learn a lot by moving around to various departments from the ER to Telemetry to PACU and, now, as a relief house supervisor the last two years. I also love working here because it’s like a family, where even the hospital administration knows your name.
– Christine, BSN, RN, ICU, LA Community Hospital
