Tampa General Hospital reviews

Many decisions to promote employees are based on who likes you and not based on knowledge of the job. People get promoted based on who they know or who they are related to in the company. Favoritism is rampant in many of the departments. Many of the positions require long hours without breaks. While breaks are required by law, some employees simply cannot leave their work station/nursing unit. Human Resources is ineffective. As for culture/values, what you see is not what you get.

The pay is insulting. My pay has only increased by $2/hour over the past two years despite the fact my responsibilities (charge nurse, preceptor, unit expert) have increased. Senior management understaffs us and then wonders why there are problems with patient care (can't go into detail here). They don't listen to the people in the trenches, but they make a show of it by doing rounds on the units and talking to us. The work is extremely tough. Tougher than at other hospitals (can't go into detail, once again.) TGH is very cheap when it comes to purchasing every-day equipment like IV lines. They go for cheap material whenever they can even if it is of inferior quality.
