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 Essentia Health Duluth 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.
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.
Hospitals aren't what you think they are, the reality is quite complex.
Care is satisfactory; quality can vary depending on nurse and unit, but we genuinely strive for the best despite challenges.
Highly recommended hospital for family members.
Good hospital, not recommended for ED due to lack of support staff. Other hospitals have more resources for safe patient care.
Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
Depends on reason for care, aware of patient needs, advise against if necessary care not provided, multiple factors involved.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
