Resourceful hospital, stellar team, but short-staffed
Mar 1, 2023 - Registered Nurse, BSN in Minneapolis, MNRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Well-funded hospital, rarely do we run out of supplies. Team-oriented members of the care team, respect for diversity across all levels of work. Great salary, often the highest in the cities for new grad RNs. LOTS of opportunities to pick up shifts and make extra money.
Cons
Leadership constantly changing with hospital mergers, constantly short-staffed. Not union, so your nurse manager has to advocate for you (this isn't bad if you have a good nurse manager). Teaching hospital so a lot of new nurses and doctors who don't know what they're doing. Some units still have double rooms.

Great culture at a lower level - upper management has no idea what they're doing
Feb 3, 2023 - Sr. Psychiatric AssociateRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Amazing culture and teamwork, focused on patient care on an individual level. Benefits include health, eye, dental insurance, 403b, short and longterm disability.
Cons
Upper management is mainly business majors who have little to no patient care experience and attempt to micromanage how we complete our jobs. Will close facilities at random and expect the rest of the staff to just deal with the aftermath. VERY beauracratical. Automated voicemail to even call in sick. CEO makes 3 million per year.

Pretty good
Jan 25, 2022 - Endoscopy Registered Nurse in Burnsville, MNRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
1. The majority of physicians and fellows I've worked with were respectful, personable, collaborative and were open to questions and suggestions. 2. Most co-workers were very nice and helpful. 3. Before COVID started, pay was very good and I was able to have my entire scheduled time. 4. Utilizes Epic for EMR.
Cons
1. If you can't use public transportation, parking is very expensive. 2. Being a teaching hospital, nursing process rigor and charting method/accountability wasn't as inclusive and methodical as I'd expected. 3. Union participation wasn't uniform across the institution (GI techs x RNs; East Bank x West Bank; Fairview Ridges x Fairview Edina). That generated conflict and expectations would differ greatly. 4. As any large institution nowadays, it seemed more concerned in acquiring other hospitals than providing better resources for existing employees. When COVID-19 started, nurses were furloughed 50% of their FTE.
