Sutter Health reviews

Pay low for that area, pays less than Kaiser

-Pay/benefits not competitive with other hospitals. Sutter will only match up to $200/year to your 401b -No 12 hr shifts but will ask you to work 16 hrs when they're short. It makes it even worse that they hire many travelers who work 12s alongside permanent staff -It's on the RN to empty the trash/linens/sharps bins from patient rooms multiple times a shift in addition to cleaning out and restocking the rooms when patients are transferred out (why is this on the nurse when there's patient care to be done?) -No nursing assistants in the ICU so RNs serve as environmental services, unit coordinators, and nursing assistants all rolled into one. -Have to keep going to other floors to borrow equipment -Navigating when/how/who to call when you need an MD or an order is a nightmare -Break nurses don't just watch your patients. They are burdened with many other tasks and takes away from what little support there is. There is no stand-alone rapid response team so when there's a code/RRT in the hospital, they are called off the floor to respond. -MDs are too reliant on nurses to put in their orders
