No Care of Any Kind To Be Found Here - Anonymous employee Hackensack Meridian Health Employee Review

Everyone's bored. When they're bored they create drama. Sure you've got busy nights but in general, you're never bending over backward. Most staff are sitting around on their iPads or phones. This boredom breeds a ton of drama. Busy people don't have time to create drama. Nurses and PCAs are very apathetic towards patients. This is a symptom of management not caring about them. Staffing is often really poor and there is no training of any kind. Policies are lacking, so there are a lot of questions on how to do things because there is no written policy for most scenarios. Management is typically hiding in their offices. They'll come out when it's time to add tasks to your workload, regardless of whether or not it's in your scope of practice. They won't bother training you either. You just do it. Reviews and certifications don't matter here. Overall, a super toxic work culture. Turnover is extremely high. Most nurses are there to get their 1-year experience and go work at a real hospital. All meetings are entirely scripted from upper management. Oh, and when there is a sentinel event, management will sort it out and not follow up on it. Your accounts won't be required. They can handle it without staff.
