Northside Hospital Employee Reviews about "patient care"

Pros

Our Manager and supervisor will come out of an office or a meeting just to help when things get overwhelming

Cons

Not all but a large number of Nurses (RNs) who aren't managers are supervisors feel they are above patient care. They will do things like call a tech to do something that takes maybe 3 secs while the tech is assisting another patient. They will make that patient wait for the tech becWhile the nurse is sitting in a stairwell or locker room scrolling thier call phone, they feel they are above actual Patient Care, which affect the patients wait time. When the Tech can get there the patient is annoyed simply because they asked for coffee while the Tech was assisting a patient with personal care. I appluade all the Nurses who sincerely work with the Techs as a team but for the ones who dont, know everyones job would be a little easier if only you did get that coffee or help get a patient dressed to go home while your tech is actually doing patient care with someone else. Sadly we will lose a lot of good hard working people because Nurses have forgotten what their First Semester of school taught them PATIENT Care, Bedside manner, even some Doctors will even assist and that really bothers me I wont sign up for a job I wont put my all into. In the mean time RNs will and have spoken disrespectfully to the support staff with no regard they are speaking to an adult. The Nurse dont respect a lunch break unless it's there own. I've been called back from lunch after 15mins because a nurse felt she was above a discharge. I've had a nurse make a patient wait until I've returned from a discharge just to toilet a patient. When she finally did assit the patient with the bedpan she spilled urine in the patients bed and had me clean it up after me return to the floor. I was gone almost 20mins. I know I wouldnt want to be left in urine for 20 mins just because my nurse didnt want to clean up a mess she created. I would make sure the patient was comfortable and at ease until the person can get back to help the patient .

Pros

Becoming a Northside employee was one of the best decisions of my life! We are family. I wish I would have started my career at Northside 24 years ago. I can honestly say that Northside is one of the best hospitals in the United States to work for. We have an extensive orientation program that adequately prepares nurses to fulfill their position with confidence. Northside is committed to providing excellent patient care in a holistic caring environment. Northside believes in their employees and in turn the employees believe in Northside!
