Layers of useless administration at expense of Patient safety and quality of care

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The patients and retirement benefits. Fast-paced environment that can be truly rewarding.

Cons

Deplorable treatment of nurses. Units are understaffed and nurses work without proper resources. Very punitive environment. Managers promoted through cronyism, rather than experience and qualifications. Needless over-time racked up for manager's friends and for ineadequate staffing-again due to lack of basic managerial skills.
