Re: Marian Hospital in Santa Maria, CA?
I heard they won a huge pay increase after a threatened strike last year, to bring their salaries up to standard for central CA.
They have a lot of old dinosaur white male OBs who practice 30 - 40 years behind the times; that's all. Lots of episiotomies, calling the "doctor" "Doctor," they'll yell at you if called in before the head is halfway out. They have no people skills and don't care about the pts or the staff. Most of the pts are Oaxacan migrants. The RNs do absolutely everything, however, so you will become very independent and skilled. Nursing care and OB care is not up to date but is like what we were doing 15 - 20 years ago.
