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.

Very good care, small hospital, limited services, up-to-date facilities
Excellent care, 10/10. Personal experience confirms exceptional care, great staff, and high quality service at this hospital.
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.
Quality of care good, but understaffed like all hospitals.
Exceptional compassion towards patients and families. Highly recommend St. Joseph hospital for loved ones, dedicated to addressing concerns.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Quality of care is average to above average.
Hospitals aren't what you think they are, the reality is quite complex.
"Not recommended. Quality of care lacking, unsure if due to younger/newer staff or specific training."

Unsafe practices, old and disconnected systems, poor safety practices. Don't go there, I wouldn't refer my loved ones to Dameron Hospital.
