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 Ringgold County 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.
Overall, the nurse feels the hospital has good quality of care, a strong sense of family, and knowledge of each other. However, some departments are stronger than others, with the ER currently being the weakest.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Limited services, specialized areas best, but not for having a baby due to lack of maternity specialist.
Quality of care good, but understaffed like all hospitals.
Quality of care is average to above average.
Trust the quality of care, feel safe here receiving treatment in our hospital.
Quality is good at times, but staffing issues are decreasing overall care quality.

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:
and has a below average patient safety rating. Additionally, the hospital performs below the national average in patient satisfaction surveys for communication with nurses and responsiveness of staff. However, it is important to note that the hospital does meet or exceed the national average in several areas, such as the cleanliness of the hospital environment and the communication between patients and physicians. Overall, while Ringgold County Hospital may have room for improvement in certain aspects of patient care, it maintains an average standard of care in terms of mortality rates and demonstrates satisfactory performance in certain areas of patient satisfaction.
