Business Outlook
Pros
Close knit family/team approach to care, excellent team work amongst co-workers. Patient safety is priority among caregivers. UNC's recent acquisition of this rural hospital system may improve it's services offered and may decrease nurse/patient ratios and improve benefit packages offered.
Cons
Nurse to patient ratio is somewhat high in the inpatient areas, especially at night with a lack of clinical support such as CNA's mostly at night when ratios can sometimes reach 7:1 or 8:1 when that clinical support is needed. Organizational structure is not conducive to career advancement, and sometimes executive decisions result in a delay in care or poor patient outcomes.
