Staff Nurse 4 years - Anonymous employee Washington Hospital Healthcare System Employee Review

Terrible management. The few staff nurses in the managers pockets are treated very well, schedule/OT preference. It is very hard to trust your coworkers, not knowing who is really a mole for management. This is a widespread sentiment. Very weak CNA representation, also cuddled up to management. Pt care is far below power plays in importance. I was told by the long term RN's it was a great place to work until approx 2012-2013, when pt care, staffing, morale, etc all tanked. One of the very few hospitals that mandates benefitted RN's start at 5 days a week (40 hour). After 2+ years you can decrease to 4 days a week! Work/Life balance is nonexistent.
