Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you feel there are opportunities for professional growth at OU Medicine. As Oklahoma’s most comprehensive academic medical center, we are proud to offer additional learning opportunities to our nurses in a wide variety of specialties. We agree that OU Medicine is a great place, not just for new graduates, but for all nurses to grow in their practice. Parking and transportation are not an uncommon issues with most large hospital systems across the country, especially those that are embedded within an urban community. We currently provide around-the-clock shuttle service with frequent direct routes to our hospitals during peak times, such as shift change, to accommodate the influx of people during these hours. As we continue to grow, we understand the challenge this presents and are evaluating methods to improve service for our employees and patients alike. Regarding wages, each person’s compensation is carefully calculated on an individual basis with regards to years of experience in similar job responsibilities, internal equity and market data respective to each profession. Recently, our Total Rewards team invested in a valuable market study tool that will allow us to better align our pay structure and merit increases with national and state standards for all professions, including nursing. This market review process is currently underway and recommendations will be made for positions the market data shows we may need to adjust. We believe the future is bright at OU Medicine and we anticipate continued growth and improved service to our community and our employees. We are thankful that you are a part of our journey and wish you continued success.

Pros

Workplace Culture and Team Collaboration: Many employees appreciate the supportive, family-like atmosphere and strong teamwork within their teams and across departments. They value the camaraderie, inclusivity, and mutual respect that foster a positive work environment focused on patient care. Meaningful Work and Patient Impact: Employees find motivation and satisfaction in knowing their work directly or indirectly improves patient care and community health. This sense of purpose is a significant driver of engagement.

Cons

Degree Requirements and Career Advancement: Many employees express concern that strict degree requirements, especially for IT roles, hinder career progression and demoralize experienced staff without degrees. There is a strong preference for recognizing equivalent experience or certifications in lieu of formal degrees to promote internal mobility and retain talent.
