HCA Hospitals

Can anyone share some information about working for a HCA hospital? I'm a new grad looking at a job prospect. Jobs are hard to get for new grads, so I am not going to be picky. I would just like to know a little bit about working for this company. I have heard mixed reviews, so I was just trying to get some more information. This particular hospital is in the northeast. Thanks.

    Don't know about the northeast, however from what i've experienced salaries are competitive, CEU's and classes were provided constantly, computer charting system is horrible, at one facility they spent money on sometimes the weirdest, non-pratical technologies. The organization is huge so transferring between facilities is simplified, many employee benefits are offered. HCA nurses work hard, but then again, don't all. Overall, many nurses look down on HCA due to the for-profit nature of the organization. They tend to acquire older hospitals so you probably won't be working in a shiny new building with modern conveniences. At no time did I feel as though I was lacking for supplies/materials/support.

    My advice, as a new grad -if your offered a job -accept it :)

    Ps -they tend to have good orientation periods for new grads (7 weeks on average with an extension if needed).
