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 Russell 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.
Depends on reason for care, aware of patient needs, advise against if necessary care not provided, multiple factors involved.
Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
Emergency Dept recommended for better care, floor nurses less welcoming due to heavy patient load.
Great nurses, poor management, staffing issues, recommend other hospitals, lack of specialty doctors.
Recommended for cardiac events, but limitations in resources can cause delays, particularly for non-cardiac cases. Top-rated for cardiac care in Kansas City.
Trust the quality of care, feel safe here receiving treatment in our hospital.
Unsafe, understaffed, business-focused. Recommend the Plaza, better care, staffing ratios the same, residents, fellows, attending physicians at Barnes Jewish.
Quality is good at times, but staffing issues are decreasing overall care quality.
