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.

Nurses Say it Straight

The hospital is okay, not too bad, but challenging due to frequent staff turnover, particularly in the ED.
Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
Very comfortable for family in ER, but strongly urge going somewhere else for higher level of care.
Recommended for cardiac events, but limitations in resources can cause delays, particularly for non-cardiac cases. Top-rated for cardiac care in Kansas City.
Limited services, specialized areas best, but not for having a baby due to lack of maternity specialist.
Highly recommend hospital, especially cardiology department. Shortage of staff, but not as dire as it seems.
Depends on the person they see.
Quality of care is great, staff is likable.
