Pros
Parkview is a friendly, open environment. If you're looking to get involved with committees or education, then you will find those opportunities here. There is a core group of determined, dedicated nurses who work hard and do some wonderful things to promote quality care and evidence based practice.
Cons
The pay and staffing ratios, while comparable with other hospitals in Fort Wayne, are not competitive. 4:1 ratios are found in step down and oncology areas with med-surg floors seeing 5 and 6:1. Efficiency of care and "customer service" are valued more than quality care. Pay starts at 19.75 for RNs. Yep, it's that low. Most nurses I know, even charge nurses, make less than 25/hr.
