Rex Healthcare reviews

Low pay for an awful job at an awful hospital. I've never seen such disregard to staff and patients. They make cuts left and right and not in the right places. There are WAY too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. For a place that hypes up being a "Magnet Facility" and having "Top Leap Frog Scores" it is a total joke. The reason they get away with it is because the place is run by new graduates who don't know any better. These new "know it all" nurses are at the beginning of their career and will put up with anything to try and get ahead. The charge nurses and "team leaders" have 1-2 years of experience... and think they know everything.... it's sad. The medical care is lacking and behind. When suggesting evidence based practice it is shot down because "well that's how we've always done it. "

Big changes in leadership and in what leadership holds as the most important thing. People and our patients used to be the most important, and always doing the right thing. Now it is money. Plain and simple. Resources have been slashed to the point that every department is struggling to keep their head above water. This applies to entities beyond main campus as well where the effects are being felt tremendously. I loved working at Rex because I felt like I was working towards the greater good and making a difference. Now that feeling is no longer there. Many co-workers have voiced that they feel they are on a “sinking ship”. Things just keep getting worse and there is no support from management or leadership other than the constant threat that more cuts are coming. I also want to speak to a culture of lack of accountability. No one seems to want to take control or responsibility for anything. The people that get promoted or offered advancement seems random or that they may have personal connections. Co-workers who work hard are not rewarded and those who don’t are not reprimanded. Very sad things have gone this way.
