Pros

Love the other staff - nurses and CNAs. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and team-oriented.

Cons

John Muir is a not-for-profit hospital and is considered "financially strong", but I feel like they make budget cuts that are unsafe for staff and patients. Like ridiculous nurse-to-patient ratios.

Pros

The best thing about JMH is its pay & benefits.

Cons

Financially they are really hurting right now so they are doing all they can to cut costs and it shows in the patient care.

Pros

I chose John Muir because of the overwhelming community commitment to this organization. Bottom line, when the consumer is greatly satisfied, it generally speaks volumes about the organization. Of the hospitals I've worked at, John Muir is the best staffed, the best supplied and has the best reputation. The employees are carefully chosen, and they fit a profile of the "ideal employee". Therefore, the entitlement problems and the insubordination seen in other hospitals are generally not seen in this environment. If you are a nurse who believes in ideals, this is definitely your place. If you are a slacker, looking for more money for less work, you will not be hired. They are very good at weeding this mentality out. Overall, a great place to work if you want to work and adhere to the hospital's culture.

Cons

The expectations of the management are very high. They are generally intolerant to any employee that doesn't fit within the norm. Those employees that fall outside of the "norm" are quickly ostracized and eventually ruthlessly fired. The critisisms from the management can be very harsh and intolerant. This sometimes leads to a culture of fear and submission. The result is suppression of the average employee. This can be disheartening. Also, there is not much cultural diversity in this facility. The average nurse is white or asian. I would say that comprises 95% of the employee base, and really reflects the Walnut Creek population.
