Pros

The majority of the employees care deeply for the patients and families. Coworkers that support each other.

Cons

Low pay, no bonuses or incentives, unsafe staffing, no retention, high turnover rate, opinions and concerns not followed through by management. Management is never seen on the floors. Also float to units where we all are not fully trained.

We thank you for your more than eight years of service to our patients and their families – and for taking the time to provide your feedback. As you know, in February 2022, we implemented significant pay adjustments for nurses. We will continue to make these adjustments for nurses as well as other roles based on regular market reviews to ensure our compensation is market competitive. We know the past two years have been particularly difficult for our employees. Please know how important it is for us that our employees understand how much we value them. This is why we continue to take other measures – from launching our Helping Hands flexible staffing support program to offering signing bonus to new hires in several roles – to address the staffing shortage that has impacted health care institutions nationwide. If you continue to have concerns, please share them with your manager or HR representative, or call our confidential compliance hotline.

Pros

Get to help kids and family's. Exciting at times and get to use some of my paramedic skills. Work along with attending's and other APP's. Help teach and guide residents.

Cons

Pay should be hire for the scope of practice. No bonuses even for working through the pandemic. Have to fight for a decent wage.
