New Hanover Regional Medical Center Reviews

Current Employee – been working at New Hanover Regional Medical Center part-time for less than a year

Pros – Pretty much everyone is friendly, pay is decent for the job. There are pay increase increments for working night/weekend shifts.

Cons – It's hard to get breaks, and it's a big environment, so getting used to it can be difficult when all of your fellow employees are busy and can't always walk you through certain things.

Pros – It is the only hospital in town and also owns most of the doctor's offices. Good insurance.

Cons – Too many to list. Low pay, Under staffed, no respect for employees. Sacrifices on patient care in the name of cost.

Advice to Senior Management – Respect and Pay your staff. Quit making the rules apply to some and not to others. Focus on the patients not the bottom line. You are a nonprofit hospital and yet you turn a profit yearly?????

Former Employee – worked at New Hanover Regional Medical Center

Pros – The area that it is in.

Cons – There are people in management positions that have no business being there, It's all about who you know. Be really careful about being lured here. If something doesn't work out there are virtually no other places to work.

Advice to Senior Management – You spend all this money to recruit outside talent, bring them in and crucify them for trying to suggest other ideas. Diversity is not just about color.

Former Employee – worked at New Hanover Regional Medical Center

Pros – lately, with the theory by upper management that employees are expendable, there is a prevailing attitude by management that we RN's are "lucky " to be working at NHRMC. Ive was currently employed there for over 6 years and was told by my director when asking about staff shortages-"you can leave if not satisfied", and this was at the start of the supposed open door policy meeting.

Cons – down sides- 1) The common RN ratio's are 7 or 8 patients to one RN, although they say its not guaged by that, it's supposedly guaged by "productivity hours". which simply means that if your not busting you ass, then your sent home to use accumulated PDO days.- there are many more downsides, but that is the main one above BEWARE of this hospital.

Advice to Senior Management – I would advise that upper management not be so " arrogant" towards thier employees, and especially notice the large drop in morale at NHRMC lately. Have you walked the halls lately? notice that no one is happy anymore? no joking with eachother, no one i know that works there is happy anymore. your "employee satisfaction interviews cannot be answered honestly because they have identifier questions in them, we all know that, and that is why youre not getting honest answers. Lastly- why does it take a consulting firm that charges almost a half million dollars to tell the managers of the hospital how to slim costs, isnt that your job? if you want to slim costs, then stop paying consultants to do your jobs for you.
