Just don't. - Nurse Tennessee State Government Employee Review

Hard to get fired, thus retaining awful, entitled employees. Lack of staff. Mean staff. Unprofessional work environment. The state is cheap, meaning cheap products for the patients. The salary does not even BEGIN to compete with private hospitals. The insurance is so-so. They make up their own rules per facility and don't follow the policies implemented in Nashville. They hire their family members which can pose potential conflicts.
