go to school

Pros

Very supportive and positive environment.

Cons

Compensation for Nurses is below the national average. There was recently a raise freeze.

Advice to Senior Management

BSA is losing some wonderful and knowledgable employees due to low compensation packages offered. They should pay much more.

Pros

Good pay, nice hospital, best hospital to work for in this area. My supervisor and manager are fair and care about their employees.

Cons

Bonus and raises have been frozen for employees while executive pay continues to be extremely high. 401a has been suspended, also.

Advice to Senior Management

Reinstate raises as soon as possible! Lower the price of food in the cafeteria for employees - it has gotten much higher.

Pros

Growing hospital
Nice co-workers who do their best in a tough situation

Cons

Promotions given not based on excellent patient care - but who your girlfriends are...
Five different ER unit directors in as many years
Will not get rid of slow or incompetent RNs - just move them to plum desk jobs
ER design looked like a prison setting
Since only two hospitals in town - not enough competition to stir competitive wages for RNs - their attitude is take it or leave it.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire experienced talented RNs and PAY them. Design an ER that is staff-friendly with a good-sized break room.

Pros

the benefits are very good

Cons

the management needs to communicate better

Advice to Senior Management

listen to employees

Pros

My co-workers are very kind and easy to get along with.

Cons

Not financially stable. Third round of layoffs in a year were announced today. We are all already under a salary freeze.

Advice to Senior Management

Control the spending in the good times as well as the bad. Then you won't have to lay people off during the rough spots and there will always be rough spots.

Pros

The people I work with are the best

Cons

Benefits are getting worse. Staffing issues are are now becoming safety issues.

Advice to Senior Management

Put more nurses on the floor on all shifts. Start thinking about the liabilities of short staffing.

Pros

The people I work with are the best! They are supportive and in general we all work as a team. Although we do use team nursing we all have a teamwork approach.

Cons

The insurance is the only real drawback to the benifits. The coverage is not the best for the price I pay.

Advice to Senior Management

Please work on a better insurance package.
