Description St. John Medical Center is a 193-bed acute care hospital and Level III Trauma Center providing emergency and acute health care services as well as championing initiatives and programs that enhance the health of the entire community. Since 1943 PeaceHealth has provided health care in southwestern Washington and northwestern Oregon. We're guided by the values of an order of progressive religious women, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace. Under their leadership, PeaceHealth has become nationally recognized for both technical excellence and compassionate care. PeaceHealth's community of health care professionals based in Longview, Washington, includes St. John Medical Center and PeaceHealth Medical Group. Serving a geographic area larger than the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, St. John is the most comprehensive medical facility between Olympia and Vancouver, Washington. Longview is located on Interstate 5, approximately 47 miles north of Portland and 135 miles south of Seattle. The city is nestled between the banks of the Columbia and Cowlitz Rivers and is only a short 90-minute drive west to the Pacific Ocean or east to the Cascade mountains. On clear days, Mt. St. Helens is easily visible from the city. Living in Longview, your neighbors include two of the Northwest’s most famous natural features — Mount St. Helens and the Columbia River. Here, and in the Lower Columbia communities served by PeaceHealth, you can enjoy the familiarity of small-town life, the challenge of working in a first-class regional medical facility, and the fun of living close to the beach, close to the mountains, and close to the big-city attractions of Portland, Oregon. Source: City of Longview and Peace Health In southwest Washington and northwest Oregon, PeaceHealth's community of healthcare-professionals base includes St. John Medical Center — a 193-bed acute-care hospital and Level III Trauma Center, and the PeaceHealth Medical Group — a group of primary-care and specialist physicians with clinics in Cathlamet, Ocean Park, Longview, and Woodland, Washington; and Astoria, Oregon. PeaceHealth was named one of the 100 Most Wired Hospitals and Health Systems by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine in 1999. St. John Medical Center’s new linear accelerator, used to provide radiation, has features not available to cancer patients in any other community hospital in the Northwest. The hospital’s new stereotactic breast biopsy unit allows physicians to pinpoint the exact location of a lesion and extract tissue samples with a single needle, resulting in minimal scarring and much lower cost compared with open excisional biopsy in surgery. St. John’s Parish Nurse Program helps extend PeaceHealth’s healing ministry in the Longview, Washington, area. The hospital’s parish nurse coordinator speaks to community and church groups on spirituality, faith, and healing in the context of modern health care, and she provides training and consultation to pastors, parish nurses, and health ministries of any denomination, helping them start and maintain congregational health programs What makes working in your organization different from working for other employers? One of the things we really talk about here is our mission: To carry on the healing mission of Jesus Christ by promoting personal and commuity health, relieving pain and suffering, and treating each person in a loving and caring way. I think this is reflected throughout the facilty, and we stress providing good customer service to show the patient that we really care about them as a person--they are not just a number when they come here for their health care! We’ve become nationally recognized for both technical excellence and compassionate care. If you’re looking for a career in health care that engages your mind as well as your heart, we encourage you to apply at PeaceHealth. Can you explain the career opportunities available for new graduates in your organization? We hire new graduates into an entry level area. Generally speaking for nursing positions, new graduates are hired into the medical surgical unit or cardiology. The new graduate works on one one with a preceptor for their orientation period which generally lasts about 4 weeks, but may depend upon the individual and clinical area. What are some common mistakes candidates make when applying for jobs with your facility? I'm not sure if I see a lot of mistakes made, but one aspect that can be addressed is to let applicants know that a stable work history makes a strong impression during the interview process. If a candidate has many jobs in a short period of time, it may lead us to believe that they won't stay with us very long either. Generally speaking, it's helpful for applicants to have at least a year in previous positions, (longer is better obviously), but those candidates with a stable work history may have an advantage over those who have job hopped a lot. Most facilities stress only the positive aspects of working for their organization. What are some of the challenges faced by new employees and even experienced personnel? Our community is a smaller community, so I think that if someone is used to a very large metropolitan area, that relocating to a smaller area might involve some adjustment. On the other hand, our area is very popular with those who like the smaller, more personalized feel of the Longview community, and it is a great area for families.
