Aultman Hospital

Hello there!

I am a recent graduate of Aultman College of Nursing and will begin orientation there for my first job as an RN on 1/21.

I had all of my clinicals at Aultman hospital and I think it is going to be a great place to work. Most of the floors that I was clinical on had a great team spirit and effort. Most of the nurses were extremely helpful with the students.

Aultman is also a Magnet hospital....which says a lot about their treatment of the nursing staff.

I hope this helps! Good luck to you!

Hey CareBayer,

Congratulations! Looks like we're starting at the same time, I will also be attending orientation on Jan 21.

See you there!

Hello,

Sorry I dont know the conditions at the hospital but I wanted to congratulate you on completing your RN program. I just applied and need to get some pre-req's out of the way. I am 25 and married I have a great job now but making a career change. I need a rewarding career and have always wanted to be a nurse. I am just a bit nervous but just knowing that I am not the only one out there makes me feel better! Congratulations! You will be great!

hi tiff,

thanks! i'm looking forward to working there as well. They have very nice people who get you situated with their program and they offer very good rewards as far as working there is concerned. I probably get to know more later on when i actually start working soon.

its perfectly normal to feel nervous cause i think change does that. But change can be good too, you get to meet new people, do something different and rewarding, especially in this line of work cause you have that opportunity to touch other people's lives... and the pay is terrific! Good luck on your pre-reqs and congratulations on your career change

Welcome to the world of nursing!

I am a recent graduate of Aultman College of Nursing and will begin orientation there for my first job as an RN on 1/21.

I assume this means they're out of accreditation limbo and are now officially accredited?

Congrats to the new nurses in this thread who are getting ready to start new jobs! I've only heard wonderful things about Aultman. My mom worked there for probably close to 30 years and my aunt has been working there for somewhere between 20-30 years.

Thanks Sassy,

Yup Aultman is definitely certified as a Magnet Facility, the only one in that area. I'm glad to hear that they have a very good retention of nurses... it just goes to show how contented and happy the staff are and how much the admin values their employees.

ChinoyRN,

So....I'm guessing that you are the gentleman sitting in the back of the classroom....the one who successfully applied a vest restraint to me in general orientation yesterday?

How do you think orientation is going? General orientation was terribly boring, but the nursing orientation is fine.....it's nice for a new grad like me to have a refresher!

See ya tomorrow!

Actually, I've heard that there have been quite a few nurses leave.

At Aulman, they have "dumbed down" their nurses. Ohio is one of the few states that have 2 year nursing programs and is actually preferred over the BSN I have. The hospitals want to save their precious $$$ for administration pockets, not lives.They also have trained nurses to push buttons, not look at their patient, and critical thinking is frowned upon. There is a gluttony of 2 year robotic trained nurses more than there are positions. They are eager to hire the new grads with no experience, or free thinking for the much lower pay, and complete obedience. To have passion to save lives, as I did at Aultman hospital was not considered politically correct. They promote managers who are under experienced, and are willing to sell their soul for the buck.

They must have paid to get their MAGNET STATUS., They took away tuition reimbursement,there is not one perk as a nurse, just high paid parking, and discounts on cafeteria, and no uniform allowance. They have corrupt management techniques that make one wonder if your in a middle eastern country when you try to use your education to save another's life. People who have been there a long time get Stockholm Syndrome, bonding with their captors for survivors because there are not any jobs in Stark County.

I am glad I left so I can work for a place with values. I feel sorry that the largest employer in Stark County has dooped their employees behind the scene......so many nurses and employers come out of the woodwork to tell me at the end of their valiant heroic career, they contrive and harass you leaving you forced to resign just because you now cost them more.

This is not a place I want to be lying in my last hour.

Sad thing is, it never use to be that way. My grandmother was a nurse in 1934 there when patients , families and employees really meant something.
