RRT - Registered Respiratory Therapist Mercy Health Employee Review

Management is friendly enough, but more concerned with budgets and Patient reviews than actual patient care- very frustrating and dangerous when staffing is cut short to save money despite the need. Expectations outside scope of practice. Poor communication when changes or new policies are initiated, like playing telephone. Recently, there has been a large number of 'fresh out of school staff' throughout hospital, including ICU, leading to reduced quality in patient care (overworking new grads who are still learning with minimal tenured staff at times). Insurance is not a good value for FT/PT employees, unless you use Mercy doctors and facilities. Expect to see under-qualified individuals advance before those who are qualified, because of relationships outside of workplace.
