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 Ray County Memorial 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.
Very comfortable for family in ER, but strongly urge going somewhere else for higher level of care.
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.
Limited services, specialized areas best, but not for having a baby due to lack of maternity specialist.
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 average to above average.
Great hospital that cares for employees, provides good benefits, and stands out in their commitment to quality care.
Quality is good at times, but staffing issues are decreasing overall care quality.
