Business Outlook
Pros
Adequate pay. Excellent benefits. Good location for freeway access and local stores. Pharmacy is efficient. Medical records and doctors visits are accessible via internet.
Cons
Profit driven decision making compromises patient care. Nurses given higher acuity of patients than is safe and practical. Equipment is often lacking or non-functional. Top-heavy management style is disconnected from realities of patient care and challenges to nursing staff. Nurses forced to miss breaks and stay overtime to complete heavy workload and deliver adequate patient care. Hospital understaffs units to meet budget objectives.
