Pros
Big hospital system, lots of locations in the area to work extra shifts. CHS appears uses a holistic health care model as a base. Badge required parking at most facilities for employees.
Cons
Patient-RN ratios and acuity levels are too high. Not enough staff to float or split shifts with. No shift hour options unless in ER at most locations (7-7 am/pm only.). Low pay and when incentive is offered sometime, not paid. Not enough paid holidays. Low-end insurance from what we had a few years ago. Older broken equipment, budget corner cutting every where with supplies, unit upgrades and cafeteria food quality, not a lot of healthy tasty food options especially for families visiting at night and pm staff. Lack of clear facility directory for visitors and new staff. Most non administrative staff seem more unhappy and not as hopeful for change as a couple of years ago even. Administration doesn't seem to care about staff, only patients.
