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
We have not started to research this hospital, but you can see what comments are for hospitals with similar patient satisfaction rates:
Nurses Say it Straight
These comments are not from nurses at Carroll 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.
Very comfortable for family in ER, but strongly urge going somewhere else for higher level of care.
Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
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.
Recommended for cardiac events, but limitations in resources can cause delays, particularly for non-cardiac cases. Top-rated for cardiac care in Kansas City.
Highly recommend hospital, especially cardiology department. Shortage of staff, but not as dire as it seems.
Emergency Dept recommended for better care, floor nurses less welcoming due to heavy patient load.
Good care, recommend St. Luke's for accommodating patients, no discharge without proper follow-up.
Definitely recommend hospital, good quality care with competent nurses and doctors implementing evidence-based practices.
Quality is good at times, but staffing issues are decreasing overall care quality.
