So I just started and this month I finally have health insurance active... Yay!

I did the Sutter Select EPO plan, seemed very very affordable and a great deal!

My question as I set up primary care for my family, I also need to get my kids in ASAP to allergists for continuation of their care. Honestly they need that more than they need a pediatrician visit at the moment.

It is not clear to me if I need a referral for specialities like an allergist if I pick one in the network.

Does anyone have experience with this? I would like to call and start trying to get an appointment if I'm able to bypass a primary care doc referral.

Thank you

Initially, all three applications passed the recruitment team at the same time and changed to “under review.” However, two of the shifts positions were rejected by the hiring manager at the same time, while one is still listed as “under review.”

What does this mean? Do I still have a chance? Do you think the hiring manager is the same for all three shifts?

Has anyone had their pay deposited into the incorrect account? How soon could Sutter Payroll correct this?

I am currently at the start of my second trimester and I’m not sure who I’m supposed to email or contact that I am pregnant. I told my manager a couple of weeks ago, but she just told me to keep it under wraps until I was ready to let HR know in case of anything.

I am ready now to have it be documented, but I’m not sure who I’m supposed to reach out to since I know it’s recommended to have everything in writing.

Hi everyone! I'm interested in pursuing an Epic Analyst role at Sutter Health and would love to hear from current or former Epic Analysts.

I'd appreciate hearing about:
What module you support (Willow, Ambulatory, Cogito, etc.)

What your day-to-day work looks like

What skills have been most valuable in your role

What you enjoy most (and least) about the job

Any advice for someone trying to break into an Epic Analyst position

For context, I have a bachelor's degree in Biology, I'm finishing my Master's in Data Science next week, have 5 years of pharmacy technician experience, and have built a data analytics portfolio. I'm hoping to combine my healthcare background with data and technology.

If you'd rather not share publicly, feel free to DM me. I’d really appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm on medical leave since February and going back to work tomorrow night. I am trying to login to clairvia to see my schedule for next month but unfortunately I can't remember the website 🤣 Can you guys help me please? 🙏🏻
And I have to call desk services to activate my badge again. Can I call in the morning or I have to call when I'm on duty. Thank you!

Hi all. I am about to cancel my current health insurance now that I am going to be covered through Sutter. However, I am unsure about when my benefits kick in. I know that it is supposed to be the 1st of the month 30 days after employment and my start date was 6/1/26, so I thought that meant I’d start 7/1/26. However, on the mybenefits site it says I can make changes until July 31st. Does that mean my benefits won’t kick in until August 1st?

Hi Everyone~

Just getting my nerves off. I have an offer waiting contingent on a successful background check. HR asked me about this:

However; my previous job; fired me recently and marked NO for eligibility for rehire. It wasn’t misconduct or bad behavior. It was a small business where I was operating as a team of one for everything: Sales, Consultation, Marketing, Social Media, Coordination - the whole nine. My sales numbers & social media output declined this past month and I was let go.

I explained in detail and explain why going to Sutter Health (& in a professional manner) to leave MedSpa Sales culture is better for my overall career plan.

I’m really nervous about this messing up for me. I’m 24 years old, with no other job lined up. Every nurse I’ve worked with loved my skills and/or personally recommended me to go into Sutter for Admin.

A high turn-over career (sales) at a small business that was failing CAN’T be my downfall.

I’m curious how other hospitals handle blood draws.
I work as an RN at Alta Bates (Ashby campus), and whenever there’s a blood draw order, the nurses are responsible for collecting the labs. A friend of mine works at Mills-Peninsula, and they have phlebotomists who do the routine blood draws instead.

How does it work at your hospital?

Just wondering how common it is for nurses to handle all blood draws versus having phlebotomy support.
