HCA Florida Blake Hospital reviews

-Terrible pay and no chance of bonuses. -Understaffed in ALL nursing departments all over the hospital. -if you're on call just expect to be there all 16 hours that day. -Weekends were for emergencies, but now they're just another day to work because administration can't say no. -CONSTANTLY out of supplies. Can't even stock blankets. (I've had to use fitted sheets to keep my patients warm) -Won't hire people for an overwhelmingly understaffed sterile processing department so always having to flash instruments and trays just to get through the day. This was a nice, small town hospital whose Administration wanted to make a lot more money so they picked up trauma and burns and haven't supplied anybody with the means to succeed with such additions. Most people I've talked with are looking elsewhere for a job. Truly sad to see what has happened.

Management is compensated far better than the staff with direct patient care. This includes physicians, nurses, indirect/direct patient caregivers. They are very heavy with management positions, yet understaff areas that involve direct patient care. Have never worked in a facility that employs so many "managers", that aren't in any way involved in the actual care of patients.
