Ochsner Health reviews

everything else. management is unprofessional and unorganized. poor training. pay. health benefits suck.

Low pay. Unsafe staffing. Expected to do more with less. I’ve never worked anywhere so focused on budget and cost cutting. Constantly cutting corners, Ochsner couldn’t even afford 3 hole punch paper!?! Stopped ordering it and made us hole punch thousands of sheets of paper daily for patient charts in our Covington outpatient surgery center. I’ve also never worked for a healthcare company that was so cheap. They literally do nothing for nurses during nurses week. They offer you a week of “themes” for you to dress up and take photos… wait what?! We were offered a candy bar and a pen from our leadership that they had to buy themselves! We had nurses meeting milestones such as 10 years, even 30 years in nursing and they received nothing but an email to print their own certificate!?! Your merit raises are never more than .57 cents. And it didn’t matter how we performed we were all given the same. Yes we all discussed it. No motivation to stay here. High turnover rate. Low retention. Everything rapidly declining after the huge lay off in 2023 which included good nurses. You are replaceable and you are just a number here. This is just a few of the reasons why we have had 7 nurses leave the Covington outpatient surgery center in just 2 months time, with many more secretly applying and job hunting elsewhere currently. Sad and pathetic because we had a great team of nurses that deserved better. Wasted opportunity and potential. You’ve been warned.
