Renown Health reviews

I rarely was able to take a break. Most shifts I worked 13 hours straight without lunch and without a bathroom break. I have been a nurse for several years and never have I felt a job eat away at me like Renown. Severely understaffed for the acuity. The organization places all the blame on the nurse. During my orientation, the instructor of one of my mandatory classes stated, "I know Renown has a reputation for not supporting their nurses legally, but that's why we write policies." It is hard to follow their policies when you're severely understaffed with high acuity patients. If nurses forgot to chart something, the expectation was that I would have to come back into work within 24 hours or you would receive disciplinary action. MANY MANY requirements outside of your 3 scheduled shifts. I felt like I was working non-stop. Between my scheduled 3 shifts, on call shifts, meetings, eLearning, and mandatory class requirement, I felt like I never got a break. Vacation is almost never approved, and you can't cash out your PTO. I strongly recommend reconsidering working here, unless you are a traveler.

Exective leadership is a revolving door, each new leader comes in to "Revolutionize" the companies bottom line by trampling on those under them. They pilage what they can for a couple months/years and move on to rinse and repeat. The whole IT divition is being outsourced to a company with very little history but strong connections to the current CIO's past "conquests" and cheaper labor in India. Is this really what's best for the Reno community and patient care?
