Kaiser Hospitals

Published

So...I'm heading to southern CA. My company has it in with Kaiser, so my recruiter is pushing for Kaiser hospital in San Diego. I have heard horror stories about Kaiser Oakland/LA, but nothing and San Diego. Anyone have experiences with Kaiser. I am pretty laid back and am okay with floating every four hours, taking the heaviest patients, but just don't want to be placed in a dangerous "out of my scope of practice" situation.

Thanks!

Kaiser can be tought to work for. Just know the first two weeks are always the hardest with orientation and adapting to the floor. Kaiser does float a lot. Good luck.

i would jump at the chance to work at Kaiser in San Diego. Yes, it's a demanding place, but they are very committed to excellence in practice. Many, many fine nurses and more and more physician-nurse collaborative practice experiences happening there. Go for it. San Diego is a great place to live too!

I worked at Kaiser in L.A. and it didn't seem like they were committed to excellence in care. I then went to Kaiser in Redwood City and it was a great place to work. I am considering going to San Diego in Dec and right now only Kaiser hospitals are posting for winter needs. Is Kaiser San Diego really a good place to work? In L.A., I felt like a number and not a person! Thanks!
