Northside Hospital reviews

When there are enough beds but not enough staff to cover them, nurses are frequently being overrun with work. The safety of the staff and patients should be the first priority. By understaffing and continuing admissions to nurses that are already overwhelmed, it creates an environment of animosity and resentfulness. Many nurses are leaving the bedside after many years of being staff because they are being overlooked and underpaid by the newer counterparts that are barely out of college. Many of the charge nurses, supervisors and managers are either very new to the role or do not know how to deal with a team properly and will not listen to their staff. Most upper management are worried about the bottom line, rather than the safety of staff and patients. Some nurses are being verbally and physically assaulted by patients who are out of control with no help from upper management.
