Sheppard Pratt reviews

-Consistently understaffed -Low pay -No support from management -High turnover rates with all staff positions

Unsafe for staff and patients due to inadequate numbers of staff. Constantly run short staffed every shift and told there is nothing they can do about it. Staff are pulled all over the hospital to units they’ve never worked or been trained on. Brand new nurses are not adequately trained and management takes them off of orientation early and forces them to run charge on the unit. A high percentage of staff either quit before orientation is complete or soon after. Upper level management does nothing to improve morale, staff retention or staffing numbers. There are a lot of staff injuries and when codes for assistance are called there isn’t an adequate number of staff to respond. Instead of decreasing patient numbers they have added additional beds to single patient rooms. This hospital was advertised as an all single bed unit when built but is no longer the case. There are cameras in the halls and management watches them constantly to pick apart everything staff does.
