Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you feel there are opportunities for professional growth at OU Medicine. As Oklahoma’s most comprehensive academic medical center, we are proud to offer additional learning and development opportunities to our nurses in a wide variety of specialties. We agree that OU Medicine is a great place, not just for new graduates, but for all nurses to grow in their practice. Regarding wages, each person’s compensation is carefully calculated on an individual basis with regards to years of experience in similar job responsibilities, internal equity and market data respective to each profession. As an organization, we believe it is important to offer competitive pay and an attractive benefits package to our employees. We recently completed multiple market analyses which allows us to better align our pay structure and merit increases with national and state standards for all professions, including nursing. We continue to monitor the local, regional and national trends and stay competitive in these areas and understand that our employees are a vital part of our mission to be the premier healthcare provider in Oklahoma and a national leader in the industry. We believe the future is bright at OU Medicine and we anticipate continued growth and improved service to our community and our employees. We are thankful that you are a part of our journey and wish you continued success.

Headed in the right direction

Pros

- Recent corporate change from for-profit (previously owned by HCA) to non-profit has helped with internal reinvestment and rethinking the long term goals of the organization, with emphasis on improving quality and patient care. - Evidence based patient care, thanks to the affiliation with the OU College of Medicine and ready access to academic faculty.

Cons

Academic medicine - less pay than in the private sector; probably has higher than usual turnover of some employee/staff positions.

Thanks for your review! We are proud of the strides we have made over the last year and a half, and we’re excited about the future of OU Medicine, but large-scale change doesn’t happen overnight. Each step in our growth is carefully planned, as our CEO and senior leadership are heavily invested in the success of our organization and want to ensure that each decision made will further promote our mission: to improve the lives of all people-- patients and team members included. We are expanding and renovating our facilities for patients and staff, and our recruitment efforts are ongoing and successful, as we hired a record 1,400+ new employees this past year alone. We also continue to find new ways to increase employee retention, including upgrading and adding new benefits, such as access to the OU Fit program and increasing wages and paid time off for our employees. We appreciate your positive feedback. Thank you for helping make OU Medicine a premier enterprise for advancing medical care, education and research in Oklahoma.
