Hackensack University Medical Center Reviews

Pros

Work with an amazing team great management

Cons

I have nothing negative to add my experience has been great

Pros

Maybe the pay, a lot of opportunities for growth

Cons

Parking, sick time, call out policy, so many random meetings that happen during the day in order to make to units look like they’re are under control when really most days are chaotic, lack of support from higher ups, short staffed all the time.

Pros

Management changes more than dirty clothes. They have no respect for staff and just tell you to get the work done. Patient ratio is 8/9 to 1 in ER and it’s such an unsafe environment.

Cons

All the above statements as well as many more you can think of to exploit their employees

Pros

Medically complex, high acuity and diverse patient populations. Lots of learning opportunities. A good place to acquire technical and soft skills that will make one a more valuable nurse. Teaching hospital with strong resident teams and attending physicians who actually enjoy teaching.

Cons

High turn over, lots of travel RNs that come and go. NMs/ANMs/nurse leaders who do not know how to properly support staff nurses (i.e. micromanaging, no regular check-ins with staff members, excessively long huddles and staff meetings). Managers overreliance on charge RNs and overuse of preceptors (charge RNs and preceptors are not compensated well for what they have to do). Outdated facilities and break rooms. Unreliable technology (scanners, beds, COWs, and keyboards are constantly broken and not fixed in a timely manner).

Pros

Good benefits No street corner posting Stations Competitive pay Treated fairly by leaders

Cons

Normal corporate challenges -example: issues=submitting tickets instead of talking to live people

Pros

Provides annual education/competency on our subspecialities, holds frequent recruitment/retention activities for our staff RNs; amazing, supportive management that back up their nurses (speaking on behalf of our specific CTICU unit)

Cons

Pay could be more competitive, too many new grads hired into a specialty ICU

Pros

Hard to get vacation on time in the summer

Pros

Cons

website navigation can be confusing at times
