    The St George Hospital Gray Street Kogarah NSW 2217
    St George Hospital began operation in November 1894. From its humble beginnings as a ‘cottage hospital’ more than 100 years ago, the Hospital progressed well beyond its original function of providing a basic level of care for the ill and injured within its community. By 1934, St George had become the equal of any district hospital in metropolitan Sydney.In 1964, St George became a teaching hospital with specialised departments. In the late 1980s, following a NSW Government grant of more than $200 million, St George began its transformation into a world class tertiary teaching hospital.In the years since, the redevelopment of physical facilities, expansion of services and acquisition of new technology have been complemented by the recruitment of nationally and internationally recognised staff. The reputation of the Hospital as a teaching facility has resulted in St George Hospital becoming one of the most popular first preferences among graduates of both nursing and medicine as a place of employment.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at St George Hospital appreciate the convenient location, which is close to their homes and public transport. They describe the work environment as professional and supportive of new graduates. Some employees found the rotating roster suitable for their personal circumstances, and they value the diverse range of patients they encounter.

    However, there are potential challenges, such as the ratio of staff to patients being challenging at times. Concerns have been raised about management and their approach, with some employees feeling that managers lack experience and delegate excessively. Issues with shift allocation, such as having shifts cancelled or not receiving public holiday shifts, have been noted. Overtime is often required, which can be challenging. Additionally, the high rate of non-English speaking patients in the area can present language barriers, requiring the use of translator services unless staff have relevant language skills.
