Pros

There is an occasional staff member that cares about their patients. There is team work among some of the units.

Cons

I have been an RN >5 years and I have worked in two different units in this hospital. I would never recommend anyone go to this hospital if they are truly sick. It is a shame, but I am constantly seeing questionable practices on both the physician, nurse, and tech side; and even more so from a management standpoint. The nurse to patient ratio is horrendous! Especially in the ICU where all the nurses are routinely tripled, without techs, and without a secretary. This is normal to them. Their patients are rarely getting turned and bathed! Tele neurology is a complete JOKE! DO NOT COME HERE WITH A STROKE, please go to TMH. This hospital is constantly trying to be bigger and better without reflecting on the outcomes of their patients. Patients and employees are never a priority. Their numbers are the priority. The turnover rate is extremely high and they even try to falsely alter and cover up those numbers. This place is a disaster. I don't even know how they are legally still operable and haven't been in trouble. It is very sad as an RN to be embarrassed that you work as such a facility.

Pros

Great culture and environment, at least on the Med-Surg 6th floor. Strong teamwork and collaboration among the nurses.

Cons

Patient-to-nurse ratio is 7:1, and charge nurses also carry patient assignments. Typically, there are only two techs for 44 patients, many of whom are bedbound from nursing homes. Collaboration between some physicians and nurses is poor. Team meetings are inefficient—every nurse is required to attend 30–45 minute discharge discussions with leadership, case managers, PT, pharmacists, and physicians, even when the patients aren’t theirs. This leaves the floor supervised only by techs during that time. Unlike other hospitals I’ve worked at, the director has never been seen assisting at the bedside in over a year. Nurse turnover is high, and those who remain are often tied to work contracts or reluctant to leave due to local circumstances.
