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 Winneshiek Medical Center 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.
Very good care, small hospital, limited services, up-to-date facilities
Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
Excellent care, 10/10. Personal experience confirms exceptional care, great staff, and high quality service at this hospital.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Overall, good job, caring nurses, lack of medical oversight impacting care quality.
Emergency Dept recommended for better care, floor nurses less welcoming due to heavy patient load.
Quality of care is great, staff is likable.
Unsafe, understaffed, business-focused. Recommend the Plaza, better care, staffing ratios the same, residents, fellows, attending physicians at Barnes Jewish.
The nursing staff is incredible, but the lack of resources and physician availability would influence my opinion on Menorah.
