Are there any Kaiser RNs out there (current or former) who either really like it or really hate it? What are they like as an employer?
What is the care like there? I have heard horror stories, and have heard wonderful things as well, although more bad than good. They are the best pay and benefits in the area, but is there a cost?
What do you as employees of Kaiser feel your personal healthcare is like? Do you feel like your patients are getting the appropriate care from the Kaiser system? Do you feel like YOU are getting appropriate care from the Kaiser system?
There is a joke running around the Kaiser is the KMart of healthcare. They seem to run below national average as far as meeting their core measures for cardiac, pneumonia, CHF, etc. Yet other sites will rank them as good as any other (Sutter, CHW) as far as patient satisfaction.
Please feel free to discuss the pros and cons of Kaiser from your viewpoint!
Thanks!
