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 Northwest Medical Center Sahuarita 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.
Reservations about care quality, uncomfortable bringing family, residents still learning, physicians don't listen, not enough time to educate, shortages, concerned about safety.
Not recommending hospital, ED unit lacking, insufficient patient care.
St. Joseph's is a good hospital despite some unfavorable experiences, with sometimes malfunctioning equipment causing upset amongst patients.
Quality of care good, limited specialties, ask about medical needs before recommending, proud of nurses and physicians.
Depends on what they're looking for. Strong CT, cardiothoracic program. AHA-certified with stroke treatments, but all done via telehealth. Uncomfortable with Stanford consultations. Not for pediatrics.
Good hospital, no problem with someone going, not as advanced in technology, environment needs updating.
Culture of safety is top priority, best in area; would choose prestigious hospital for surgery without hesitation.
Good care, great nurses, but policies need improvement. Challenging finding them; better accessibility needed for prompt access.
Very comfortable for family in ER, but strongly urge going somewhere else for higher level of care.
