sad place to work. No morale. Nurses scared to speak up

Registered nurse

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

2% cost of living increase

Cons

favoritism. Admin could care less about addressing huge problem of turnover. CNO says "It's for the best" No consistency. A new grad can go right in ICU but a seasoned RN of 15 yrs must apply and take critical care class. Nurses go home in tears. Turnover in Med/Surg over 50%. All new grads. This hospital has not retained the seasoned staff. Doctors leaving. Admin leaving. Nurses leaving. Money is what is most valued. Losing several as they are not competetive. Top 100 but at what expense. This place is nuts! MUCH RETALIATION!!

Business Outlook

Pros

Can't really think of any. One of two hospitals in the town, and until CHS took, over was the best.

Cons

Have worked at this hospital for 15+ years. Started out as a PCA, then to nursing school, then worked at the hospital in Dothan, Alabama as a nurse for many years. Currently a CRNA at the same hospital. We are being "laid off" so to speak. The Anesthesiology group is being forced to taking us over. The hospital did this with no warning to us. All the benefits we have are gone, sick hours, vacation, everything. Administrations response was we still get a 50% discount in the cafateria. Nice to know our CEO get 17.5 million in bonuses. Nursing pay and staffing are horrible. Patient care is no longer the priority under CHS.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic coworkers, very knowledgable & willing to help.

Cons

Completely unreasonable expectations from upper management. Focus is always on what was NOT done, with no acknowledgement of any accomplishments, do not expect any pats on the back for a job well done. Consistent 12-15 hr workdays are the norm. Upper management does not seem to fully comprehend the demands/ expectations that are so nonchalantly handed out as no additional compensation is available, and all work is still to be maintained within the mythical "40 hr work week".
