Pros

Most of the coworkers become family. The doctors are awesome. Fast paced and mentally stimulating job. Advancement and continuing education opportunities are abundant.

Cons

Management is worried about the profit and not safe patient nurse ratios. Not enough done to keep good employees. Many times the training isn't sufficient enough.

Advice to Management

Staff better

Pros

Working with doctors to attain their credentials for the hospital and working with their offices and various agencies and departments

Cons

Not enough time to complete tasks. Reduction in hours. No overtime. Multiple continuous interruptions.

Advice to Management

Allow for full time hours plus overtime. Another full time employee would be helpful. The job is of utmost importance and should be given the time needed to complete tasks to their fullest potential in a quiet work area.

Pros

Great hospital atmosphere. Great people. Everyone treated each other like family. We had a great Administration at the time. I loved working here.

Cons

Company was bought out and then they started downsizing which lead to termination of my last position. I really wanted to stay there until retirement.

Advice to Management

For the company that bought out Wuesthoff. Don't get rid of people who could potentially help more due to their knowledge and background. And don't treat people like they mean nothing. Show a little respect.

Pros

Team Work, Management tries to make work flow easier. Lower management such as Charge nurses or Floor managers are very helpful .

Cons

Career advancement not based on proven work experience. Not all employees are treated equal. Its who you know not what you know. Compute system is terrible. Management has a "I.m better than you" attitude.

Advice to Management

Management should take a day and work side by side with a Nurse and a tech to "remember " how hard the job is.

Pros

Unfortunately there aren't any I can think of

Cons

As a new employee there was a lack of an orientation/education period in a particular unit. Few coworkers were willing to teach/preceptor to help with the transition into the facility. No support from management with standing up for patient safety issues, instead you're in trouble for doing what's right bc it cost them to much unnecessary money. Any difficulties with certain personnel were not addressed but rather swept...

Advice to Management

I could right a book on why not to work here! Theres definitely many reasons for the F rating. I think only 16 hospitals in the US received an F out of over 2000... Pretty bad write up said the newspaper reporting the poll. Hopefully things get better because I certainly don't want to be a patient there!
