Interviewing at a hospital under federal review?: Johns Hopkins All Children's in St. Pete

[Nicole-a]

Hi everyone, I'm a new graduate nurse who is interviewing for her first job. I was doing some research on the hospital I am applying to and came across this article:

All Children’s Hospital now under federal review | Tampa Bay Times

Basically the hospital I applied to is under federal review for not reporting serious medical errors in their cardiac surgery program. I am not really quite certain what this means, if it makes any impact on nurses within the hospital. I am curious and would like to get a discussion going on this and how this might impact me as a candidate to work there. Obviously it doesn't look good, but what about the nursing aspect of it? TIA

It will not affect you unless you are going to work in Cardiac Surgery or Cardiac ICU. They may be fined, but seriously doubt that they will need to shut down their Cardiac Surgery for 2 missing needles not reported.
