Survey Picks 41 Top Hospitals in U.S.

Only one in my area is Cooks Children's in Ft Worth. I have spent a lot of time there with my kids . Very kid friendly....

Maybe the article just doesn't explain it well, but it seems strange to attempt to rank top hospitals based on four fairly narrow criteria.

I'm happy to admit that I work for CPMC and am on this campus Yay!!

Q: What do you call a survey that does not include RN education, pay, and specialty experience on what makes a top hospital?

A: Delusional.

Surveys are interesting. They all sound like big metro hospitals.

Mayo Clinic Rochester-Saint Mary's Hospital (Rochester, Minn.)
Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital (Saint Louis Park, Minn.)
Children's Hospitals and Clinic of Minnesota-Minneapolis (Minneapolis, Minn.)
Children's Hospitals and Clinic of Minnesota-Saint Paul (Saint Paul, Minn.)

I did a clinical rotation at Children's MPLS last summer. My grandmother was a CRNA at Methodist. I have a classmate who is going to do a synthesis rotation on their neuro floor.

I am very glad that MN is a national center of excellence.

I am sure that you could rate ANY hospital a top hospital if you use the proper criteria. But still an interesting read.
