Anyone know Moses Cone Hospital

frontalgirl · May 10, 2008

I left Moses Cone last August after 9 years in ICU, to work in a hospital an hour away. The reason I left was unhappiness with the adverserial attitude of the managment from the DON on down. The general attitude is "If you don't like it, leave".

They were awarded Magnet status several years ago, but in this instance I would caution against using that as a marker.

I'm in touch with many friends and former coworkers and I understand that things are getting worse by the week, there. Hope I don't sound bitter, because I'm not, there are many, many good things about the system, nursing managementisn't one.:typing

hearts2abeat-what is your specialty? My sister in law works at Cone. She's a CRNA

I specialize in Cardiac

my sister-in-law worked in cardiac there for awhile and then went into surgical ICU before going into CRNA. They paid for her CRNA schooling. She is obligated to work for them for awhile, but she loves her schedule. She does 16 hour shifts on Sat and Sun and is home the rest of the week. She loves it b/c her kids are 1, 3, and 5 so she likes being there during the week with them.

Ain't that the truth! I would never use 'Magnet Certification' as a deciding factor. :uhoh3: :uhoh3:

Does anyone familiar with Moses Cone know what the starting pay is for new grads? I am looking for at least 23-25/hr starting out. What about their sign on bonuses?

Hey, I met with them back in Nov. and I believe starting pay for a new grad. was 20.25 (not including shift diff.)

They came to recruit us in nursing school and I also have a friend that works there. They have no sign on bonuses at this time and the pay is less than 21.00. She hates it there and is looking to transfer.

I am sorry to say that if I had the oppertunity to look else where I would . It seems that the one respondant was correct, the overall attitude of administration is "if you don't like it go else where". In addition, it is well known that there is a "good ole boys club" that is fully operational. They do not value their nursing staff, they tolerate many unfortunate things from physcians, espeacially ones that should have had there liceneses yanked years ago for unspeakable acts to the patients and staff alike.Most of the staff there feels that they are stuck because of family matters, economics etc. It seems as though they consistantly violate thier own corporate compliance policies and on a case by case basis subscribe to a double standard. I have never heard of a physcian that was able to strike a patient , cuse the patient and still remain in practice, even after the physcian was sued for malpractice in the death of a patient (not to mention numerous complaints from differant staff of verbal abuse to patients and staff and throwing things at staff). We all know as health care givers even if these acts were"unintentional " we would be looking for new careers...

so to expand, :cry: I would not reccomend MOSES CONE

I know someone who works there, she says the positive outcomes with most patients are d/t staff dedication to good nursing care, not always good physician care. I have never been there but it made me think when this particular nurse made that comment.
