Port Huron Hospital?

Published

Does anyone have any valuable information regarding Port Huron Hospital? I have heard very little about the facility and have found limited information about it online. I am considering employment there, and really looking forward to getting some med/surg experience as a new nurse. Unfortunately, the hospital seems to have a bad public reputation that I was unaware of. Is anyone familiar with the working environment or how they treat the nurses? This is what really matters to me since there are rumors about any facility.

Dont do it. The nurses are responsible for everything! I mean its nuts. The nurses I am working with are great, but some do not know any better as have never worked anywhere else. Stay away. Pt ratio for work load is unreal. I have worked at other facilites and believe me you do not want to start your career at this hospital.

I wish I would have read this post before I accepted a job at this hospital! I have been there about 4 months and I cannot leave the floor that I am on for another 2 months because of policy. Even when that 2 months is up there do not seem to be very many other job opportunities within the hospital for movement. I dont want to swtich to another hospital because it is a big hassel, but at this point I dont know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions of other hospitals in the port huron area that might be a better working environment?

I worked at Port Huron for less then a week back then. I am so glad I kept a prn postion at my old hospital, so I slipped right back in. When gas prices started to go up, I thought I would give them a try cause it was half the trip. Let me tell you, I would rather have the drive and pay for the gas. Now I am living out of state, and really miss my old hospital. How far are you from Mt.Clemens? A lot of people car pool from Port Huron. Mt Clemens General was a good place to work, and so is WB.

I left WB for HFH. I think they are on a hiring freeze. I know my old unit was particularly bad when I left and even though there is new management, it's still bad, no OT for NAs or clerks and short RNs all the time.

Thanks for your help, I was so unhappy at my job that I thought I had picked the wrong profession and was going to quit nursing alltogether. I have decided to give it another chance and look for another job . Thanks again

I know nurses who work at Port Huron Hospital's ICU and they love it. I regularly hear them go on about how they love their job, the people they work with, how much they liked the orientation to the unit, and what a great team they have there. It you are looking for an RN position in critical care I would strongly encourage you to check them out. They also have an open :redbeathe program as well. Feel free to contact me if you want more info.

I am skilled and over 50 years old I have been told many times Port Huron Hospital will not hire older nurses. Its true they will not, they will hire new grads before an experienced nurse over 50
