I'm a new grad. I saw that this hospital has New grad positions available there, and i just wondered what kind of place it is. I've driven by it a few times and seen that it's a new facility. However, I don't know much about the hospital culture. I'm interested in working in the PCU, and looking for any info available. I've been on the website and seen all the awards, I just wondered if there's any nurses working there, or that had worked there, that can give an opinion of it.
P.S. Any leads on new grad friendly hospitals in the KC area would be appreciated thanx!
I agree, stay as FAR away from all HCA hospitals...I worked at Research (for a very brief period) and it was dreadful! Never, never, never, never will I ever work for HCA. I would work in a nursing home before I would ever go there! Not that I think working in a nursing home would be bad, it's just I've been told many horror stories about patient-nurse ratios.
I did clinicals at Centerpoint in the ICU and that hospital is horrible (except the ER, had fun and learned a LOT there). And not to forget Meditech (their charting system....YUCK! Looks like DOS).
Truman is very new-grad friendly. Worked there for a while until I decided I didn't want to be a bed-side nurse. But I would recommend them out of everywhere I have worked. You learn a lot, and they've updated a lot.
