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.

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 Minden Medical Center 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.
Emergency Dept recommended for better care, floor nurses less welcoming due to heavy patient load.
Highly recommend hospital, especially cardiology department. Shortage of staff, but not as dire as it seems.
Great nurses, poor management, staffing issues, recommend other hospitals, lack of specialty doctors.
The nursing staff is incredible, but the lack of resources and physician availability would influence my opinion on Menorah.
Good hospital, not recommended for ED due to lack of support staff. Other hospitals have more resources for safe patient care.
"Not recommended. Quality of care lacking, unsure if due to younger/newer staff or specific training."
Depends on the person they see.
Hospitals aren't what you think they are, the reality is quite complex.
Safe and compassionate hospital with great nurses and doctors; referred my family there. Patients love how they're treated.

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:
Minden Medical Center has shown high overall patient satisfaction based on CMS HCAHPS patient ratings. The hospital has achieved an average performance in every measured mortality rate, indicating consistency in patient outcomes. Patients visiting the hospital's Emergency Room experience an average wait time of 2-3 hours, ensuring timely access to care. Minden Medical Center has demonstrated proficiency in treating conditions such as pneumonia, reducing the likelihood of readmission. However, the hospital faces challenges in managing infection rates, an area where improvements are necessary.
