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
These comments are not from nurses at Humboldt County Memorial Hospital but are instead nurse comments from hospitals with a similar size and quality ratings for illustration of what feedback from nurses at a hospital of this size and quality might be.
Limited services. Room for improvement. Not recommended. Great for Strokes and ICU, but not ER.
Very comfortable for family in ER, but strongly urge going somewhere else for higher level of care.
The hospital is okay, not too bad, but challenging due to frequent staff turnover, particularly in the ED.
Recommended for cardiac events, but limitations in resources can cause delays, particularly for non-cardiac cases. Top-rated for cardiac care in Kansas City.
Great nurses, poor management, staffing issues, recommend other hospitals, lack of specialty doctors.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Definitely recommend hospital, good quality care with competent nurses and doctors implementing evidence-based practices.
Great hospital that cares for employees, provides good benefits, and stands out in their commitment to quality care.
Highly recommended hospital for family members.

Summary of Hospital-Reported Data
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requires hospitals to collect and report on hospital quality and patient satisfaction data. While the data can be dated (collected 1 to 4 years ago) the insights are an important view into hospital safety and quality. We looked through all of this data, and here is our summary of what we found:
Based on the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data, Humboldt County Memorial Hospital demonstrates an average performance in all measured mortality rates. Additionally, the hospital maintains a low emergency room wait and treatment time, typically requiring less than 2 hours.
