Pros

Small bonuses given here and there will reimburse for the training/education

Cons

It is concerning that nurses are often held accountable for issues that may arise from broader team dynamics. This type of environment can make it challenging for bedside nurses to transition to other departments. Additionally, there appears to be limited support from HR and other stakeholders for bedside RNs seeking to explore new roles within the organization.

Thank you for the work you did with patients at Houston Methodist. Our CEO is generous with employees, offering cost of living adjustments, merit increases, bonuses for patient satisfaction, the holidays and even $750 after Hurricane Beryl. To review new Houston Methodist opportunities, employees can go to the Employee Self Service dropdown within MARS. Then go to the Careers tile to explore and apply.

Pros

The transition to Workday is a welcome modernization that brings the organization more in line with other large health systems.

Cons

the work-life balance for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) needs significant improvement. The criteria for earning administrative time place unrealistic expectations on APPs, making it difficult to achieve a sustainable workload. It is especially discouraging to work alongside physicians who have more attainable criteria for protected administrative time, creating a sense of inequity that negatively impacts morale. Additionally, there is little flexibility in scheduling. Offering 0.8 or 0.6 FTE positions would help retain experienced APPs who want to continue providing high-quality patient care while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Without these options, many APPs are left choosing between full-time burnout and leaving the organization altogether. the work-life balance for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) needs significant improvement.
