Needs tweaking but overall great...

Revenue cycle specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The supervisors & managers are very helpful. The policies they have in place to ensure everything goes smoothly is awesome.

Cons

Currently the personal leave policy is horrible. The first day you are sick, it is taken out of your personal leave time instead of sick leave time. Also, I do not think I am getting a fair pay but it is still better than what I was making which is zero.

Poor ICU staffing ratios and floating

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great ICU team. A few non welcoming cliquey girls, but 75% will feel like family

Cons

3:1 ratio in an ICU should never happen, or if it literally has to, be very rare. It happens weekly here. Also get floated to PCU and med surg often
