What don't you like about working at Cedar Hills Hospital?

"Most of the reviews here are very true. Management staff are grossly incompetent, disorganized, unprofessional, and inconsistent. Management staff gossips with and about employees on a regular basis. Dangerously high nurse to patient ratios and horrific short staffing. Very high employee turnover. Lack of supplies and equipment to safely do the job. No benefits. RNs are hired on a PRN basis and are worked full time so they do not have to pay benefits and PTO. Extremely hostile working environment, unethical practices, and employees work in fear. Patients are sedated until their insurance runs out. Security cameras that were installed to monitor the patients for safety are being used to watch the employees for any perceived transgressions.Because most experienced nurses avoid this hospital (related to its poor reputation) and experienced nurses are leavingthis hospital is very new grad heavy. Which means these new grads remaining are not getting adequate training and not much if any preceptor-ship in order to develop their skills, such as prioritization, critical thinking, and time management skills. As a result, because of the lack of applicants, they do pay fairly well. The CEO was just fired and walked off the property. Not worth putting your license on the line."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Replace all management with actual trained professionals. Hold management responsible for their actions."

"Poor working conditions, poor benefits, poorly managed, very little communication, EXTREMELY hostile work enviornment, no safety for the staffs' licence's, and very shady dealings behind closed doors. The sceduling is horrible at best. Staff is expected to manage too many patients and are asked to engage in unethical practices. The politics are underhanded. The culture of the hospital is unprofessional, which is strangely tolerated and somewhat encouraged. Snake pit work enviornment."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Focus more on patient care (less on making money) and make the enviornment more professional. Stop the lateral violence, abuse, and harrassment. Become more ethical. Get a new scheduling staff member and replace HR."
