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 Morton 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.
Very good care, small hospital, limited services, up-to-date facilities
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.
Very comfortable for family in ER, but strongly urge going somewhere else for higher level of care.
Quality of care good, but understaffed like all hospitals.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Emergency Dept recommended for better care, floor nurses less welcoming due to heavy patient load.
Hospitals aren't what you think they are, the reality is quite complex.
Definitely recommend hospital, good quality care with competent nurses and doctors implementing evidence-based practices.
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:
According to the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data, Morton County Hospital exhibits average performance in every measured mortality rate. Additionally, the hospital maintains an average emergency room (ER) wait time, with patients typically being seen and treated within a span of 2-3 hours. However, it is notable that the hospital faces challenges with high infection rates. Consumers should be aware of these aspects when considering the quality of care at Morton County Hospital.
