Northside Hospital reviews

You will get burnt out quick. Its fast pace! You will more than likely have 5 couplets. CNAs dont help you. Northside over does everything from charting to assessments, v/s things that are all unnecessary that will put you behind and running the full 12.5hr. You dont get paid enough for all that overworking. & lastly the scheduling is a sh*t show! They have had 3 diff schedulers come and go. You are NOT guaranteed the schedule you put in 8 weeks in advance the scheduler will change your schedule and lock it and will not accommodate you for whatever you may have planned in your outside life. You feel like your in a prison in this place 4 call outs a yr. Barely gets PTO. For Holidays, you must work that holiday and the day after .& the hire ups dont want to increase nurses pay or decrease the workload apparently.

The one thing I wish would change is the way off days are handled. You’re forced to take your pto no matter why you’re off, it all comes from the same bank. I wish we had the option to take a day off and not be paid at all and not be forced to take pto. I take care of sick family and I use all my pto to help them and at the end of the year I don’t have anything left to take a vacation. If I get the flu and Covid in the same year I’m stuck owing for the off days I took. I just wish there was an option to not be paid so I can take a vacation when I need it and am burnt out.
