Duke Health reviews

The new relationship with Duke has brought on some of the burdens of working for a large health system that I was looking to avoid when I began working with a multi-specialty group in private practice .

Bullying is absolutely tolerated, it is shameful but nobody cares. The pay for nurses is deplorable, especially since Duke Hospital's President is a nurse. The hospital is cheap, and instead of cutting corners somewhere where it makes sense (such as overpaid hospital administrators), they cut nurses' hours. The nurse assignments are often very unsafe as the hospital forces nurses to take on more and more patients of higher acuity just to save a few bucks by not bringing more nurses in to work and/or sending some home when it is unnecessary and unsafe.
