San Joaquin Community Hospital Reviews

Pros

Over 5 years of experience

Cons

Retirement non union and growing painstaking

Pros

Good place to work! Great people to work with.

Cons

The raise for PARs are not very much so make sure you negotiate when you get hired.

Pros

There is allot of opportunities for work here.

Cons

High cancellation rate, management not fully upfront about rules and regulations of unit, and culture of units more strict than other places.

Advice to Management

Be upfront about how often nurses are cancelled, what the culture of the unit is like, i.e. more rules and regulations than other units in the same area expertise. And that no cell phones are allowed in the work area you are applying for.

Pros

Loved my coworkers! I was very sad to relocate. Great team work. Would definitely work for this hospital again!

Cons

Bad management, complaints were rarely met. Short staffed (what hospital isn't?) No golden rule, patients will always come at 1855 = bad patient care at edge of shift.

Pros

From my experience, it's worse at Dignity

Cons

Stay away from San Joaquin Community. Besides the usual bullying of nursing culture, this is one of the worst hospitals to work for in the state of California. I’ve worked in other facilities prior to this and this is the only hospital where they are constantly short staffed. To be asked to work 16 hour shifts is the norm. They’ll either ask you to stay an extra 4 hours or come in 4 hours early. It doesn’t not matter...

Advice to Management

Offer better training, education, equipment, and hire more staff. Implement zero tolerance for bullying especially from charge nurses. If you offer new grads poor training and send them on their own, then don't expect much from then if your facility doesn't have the resources, the tools, the training to implement a safe, efficient working environment. Charge nurses should be held accountable if they bully and harass...
