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

Quality of care on floors not great, but NICU is well-staffed and provides good care. Would recommend going to HCA.
Highly recommend hospital, no hesitation sending family here. Quality of care definitely above average.
Good care, but staffing needs improvement; still comfortable with family coming here.
Nurses stretched thin, skimping on personalized care. Admit for general issues, but if acutely ill, things might get missed. Ship loved ones elsewhere.
Level of care at hospital is outstanding
"Not recommended. Quality of care lacking, unsure if due to younger/newer staff or specific training."
Definitely recommend hospital, good quality care with competent nurses and doctors implementing evidence-based practices.
Trust the quality of care, feel safe here receiving treatment in our hospital.
Excellent care from coworkers, but not enough time for each patient. Common challenge in healthcare. Committed to doing our best.
