Pros
Hands down best hospital in WNC to work and for patient care, best staff ever, love my co-workers, floor manager is good, GPTWP counsel really tries hard with the added warm and fuzzy stuff during the holidays, love pet therapy, appreciate the recent open forum Dr. Paulus is holding for nursing staff to speak up....hope he listens to them!
Cons
recently, we have felt the crunch as nurses.....Mission is tightening the reigns on money, they have to because we are forced to give out so much FREE care to these uninsured folks who don't take care of themselves, we are more burdened than ever with discharges, the tasks just seem to pile up with added pressure of patient satisfaction scores. Happy nurses+ well staffed departments=high patient satisfaction - well staffed means ensuring that each patient has an RN and CNA every single shift, especially on the higher acuity floors with total care patients and in patient falls. How can I be a good RN when I am busy doing bed baths, vital signs, bathroom help etc?
