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.

The hospital is okay, not too bad, but challenging due to frequent staff turnover, particularly in the ED.
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.
