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 Carteret General 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.
Depends on reason for care, aware of patient needs, advise against if necessary care not provided, multiple factors involved.
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.
Exceptional compassion towards patients and families. Highly recommend St. Joseph hospital for loved ones, dedicated to addressing concerns.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Emergency Dept recommended for better care, floor nurses less welcoming due to heavy patient load.
Hospitals aren't what you think they are, the reality is quite complex.

Summary of Hospital-Reported Data
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requires hospitals to collect and report on hospital quality and patient satisfaction data. While the data can be dated (collected 1 to 4 years ago) the insights are an important view into hospital safety and quality. We looked through all of this data, and here is our summary of what we found:
Carteret General Hospital demonstrates high overall patient satisfaction; however, it is important to note that the hospital faces challenges in certain areas. For instance, the hospital experiences an extended emergency room (ER) wait time, with an average of over 3 hours for patients to be seen and treated. Furthermore, the hospital encounters difficulties in maintaining low infection rates. Information from CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data signifies the need for improvements in reducing wait times and addressing infection rates at Carteret General Hospital.
