Pros

Holmes was great back in the '80s. Ned Wilford took care of us. He started the PL system.

Cons

In my opinion, Things started going down hill in the early '90s. They tried a cross training program that caused more harm than good. It was called Patient Focused Care, or Priority One. But the change to the PL program as well as departmental management forced me into early retirement.

Pros

Most units work well together, love my co-workers can make a rough day a little better pay is in line with most in surrounding area but is low free gym membership if you have their insurance because of size many opportunities available within organization

Cons

morale is low. most nursing staff are not happy with current position. patient ratio has increased to unsafe levels on most units incentive pay for certifications has gone away. PL is ok but hard to get time off approved due to nursing shortage always seem to work short staffed management is always turning over so much that employees joke about it being the fastest way to get fired is by going in to management. micromanagement from upper management who have no clinical experience management makes promises it will get better but nothing changes or gets worse they like to hire new grads which is great but you need to keep experience also or it becomes dangerous to patients you have new nurses teaching new nurses. patients are just dollar signs and employees are numbers not many other options for hospital based employees or patients in the area
