Sutter Health reviews

Extremely rough during times of high census due to short staffing esp in the winter- high RN patient staff ratios, cost cutting makes it so you fill in those jobs and that is why you have so many opportunities for learning! Many Travel RNs and students- yes you are expected to supervise students as well. Low pay for amount of work compared to other area acute care hospitals. And those benefits come in handy at least to treat multiple health issues from the workload. Nurses are cross trained to other units in order to fill in short staffed units, sometimes floated to units where you have little experience. If you speak up about issues you are ignored, verbally abused and or they deny there is a problem. In addition you are expected to take on extra duties RN s, CNA s doing audits, purchasing orders, teaching, work orders to fix equipment etc on and on However even still almost impossible to advance because When hiring for leadership positions, Management favors their friends and those of their own cultural background over competence and skill level.

Change is frequent so may not be comfortable for those that do not like change
