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

Amazing care, amazing staff. Great discussions with physicians. High level of care and attention. Unable to do certain procedures.
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.
Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
Recommended for cardiac events, but limitations in resources can cause delays, particularly for non-cardiac cases. Top-rated for cardiac care in Kansas City.
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.
Good care, recommend St. Luke's for accommodating patients, no discharge without proper follow-up.
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.
