Re: what's wrong with HCA hospitals?
I finishing up my accelerated BSN at Research College of Nursing and last week we had a panel of nursing managers during our Leadership class, which included the CNO at Research. She handled the aggressive nature of the questions [most of us signed up for the HCA tuition waiver and are starting to balk at the thought of working for HCA for two years] and stated her goal is for Research hospital to receive magnet status within 3 years. Obviously this would require wide-scale changes, which the CNO readily admitted.
So things might be getting better...although I'm already planning to ditch HCA for greener pastures, i.e., pain management, which HCA does not have.
