I would look at all of my options carefully. - Registered Nurse HCA Florida Capital Hospital Employee Review

Great management and work culture.

Short staffing is a con.

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

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.
