-Far better, fairer places to work

Clinical

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-It mission to the the poor and people who are underserved medically. The community (local) traditionally has had a positive attachment to hospital, though that connection has weakened.

Cons

-No longer run like a non-profit, very physician centered, administration no longer interested in providing a great environment to work. Think of the air traffic controller's strike at the start of the 80's and the effect that had on employee and employer relations, a similair thing has happen at Riverside.

Training/orientation adequate and thorough. Management is very helpful

Back biting and cattiness with other nurses. The job is hard enough as is and is very unnecessary. Also some favoritism and unprofessional behavior goes on
