My time in Lufkin was not a smooth assignment. I was optimistic the entire time I was there despite the hurdles that I had to jump through to get things straightened out, specifically on scheduling. They want you to work 6 days in a row. Impossible. Also, the demographics in the area consist of poverty and drug seeking individuals. Finding a decent place to stay was also hard. ALL of the techs have attitudes and it is very annoying. Very boring town with nothing to do.

Bad business

Med Surg / Telemetry

St. Luke's Health-Memorial Lufkin is home to East Texas' largest emergency department, which has 32 private patient rooms, a dedicated imaging and laboratory department and a highly qualified staff of emergency physicians, nurse practitioners and registered trauma nurses.

Memorial offers a wide array of services, including the Temple Cancer Center. We are the first health care facility in Texas to acquire the DaVinci High Definition Robot for robotic assisted procedures in urology, gynecology and general surgery, and is currently the only hospital in Lufkin to boast two robotic systems, including the latest, most advanced robot, the da Vinci Xi. It was also the first hospital in the state of Texas to receive four Center of Excellence accreditations by the Surgical Review Corporation in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (COEMIG), Hernia Surgery (COEHS), Robotic Surgery (COERS) and Minimally Invasive Surgery (COEMIS).

The Lufkin hospital also is known for providing the area’s only comprehensive diabetes, heart and stroke center—the Polk Education Center. The center's diabetes self-management education program is the only one in the area with continued recognition by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
