CareLuminate does not have nurse interviews for this hospital currently, but is estimating the Nurse Recommendation Score based on the strong relationship between patient feedback and nurse feedback.
How Does CareLuminate Estimate The Nurse Recommendation Score?
With over 1,000 nurses having participated with CareLuminate to date, we have found that the relationship between hospital patient recommendation ratings and nurse recommendation ratings is very strong (p<.001, R-squared = .42).
While the two ratings are often similar, the comments from nurses are extremely important because they show an important 'inside view' into strengths or concerns in a hospital. CareLuminate is working towards offering nurse insights into every hospital in the US.

Would recommend high-risk women go to Overland Park for delivery; Level III NICU, but no ECMO, trachs, or complex heart surgeries.
Quality of care and patient satisfaction are top priorities- nurses and physicians value our work, active feedback improvement. Manager's exceptional at patient monitoring.
Quality of care is excellent; exceptional care is provided in the women's service line.
"For ER, great nurses and excellent doctors. But for floor care, it varies depending on the unit and nurse."
100% commitment to patients, amazing teamwork, not feeling alone, always room for improvement.
Excellent care, well staffed.
Overall care is great, but challenging due to new nurses and grads. More knowledge needed, experience is key.
Cannot receive care here due to insurance.
Would not recommend Kaiser Sunnyside Med Surg due to concerns about union page and staffing numbers.
