ABUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR NURSES, ESP. NEW NURSES!
Pros
They have a strong reputation and they know it.
Cons
If you are a nurse applying to the Cleveland Clinic, BEWARE! This is a doctor hospital and that's all they seem to care about! They make all their new nurse hires take an online assessment called PBDS. The test requires nurses to make a MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS! I am all about educating and empowering nurses, but this organization uses intimidation to deflate the confidence of its new nurse hires!! They will make you go through an Immersion Program and treat you like a kindergartener as they teach you their "dot method" for diagnosing patients' problems!! I have never been in a more demeaning and punitive environment!! THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT AN ORGANIZATION THAT TREATS IT'S NURSES WELL!! What a shame too, because as an experienced nurse I know the value of nursing care in patients' outcomes!!
