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.

Overall, good care, outdated facilities, competent doctors, dedicated staff, highly skilled nursing, good patient care.
Highly recommend hospital, especially cardiology department. Shortage of staff, but not as dire as it seems.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Quality of care is great, staff is likable.
Great hospital that cares for employees, provides good benefits, and stands out in their commitment to quality care.
Nurses stretched thin, skimping on personalized care. Admit for general issues, but if acutely ill, things might get missed. Ship loved ones elsewhere.
