Penn State Health reviews

-if you are a person of color you will not get hired on more "prestigious" floors. The children's hospital nurses are all rich white sorority girls, and unless you fit this criteria you will not be hired...no diversity at all no matter what they tell you through their slogans (besides the doctors and med students which the managers cannot control). This also depends on the floor you're on. I've seen floors fully staffed with blacks, asians, whites (everyone basically and usually med-surg floors) and then you go to the children's hospital and it's the opposite. Sad that this is a reality for people of color here... -turnover!! when I was a nurse extern my preceptor was the nurse there the longest (she was a new nurse with 2 years of experience) and even she ended up leaving shortly... -the pay is absolute garbage. I took my first RN position somewhere else bc i was getting paid 5 dollars more there than what i would have if i stayed in hershey...

Administration works in circles; they waste so much money. Management does not listen to the people actually doing the work therefore they keep trying to come up with ideas on how “to work faster and smarter” when they actually “tried that idea of working faster and smarter 5 years ago” but management has changed since then and they aren’t listening to the workers who are giving them info to save money...so frustrating!
