Ascension reviews

No in-unit RN educator. No in-unit CNS. No assistant manager. Everything falls on the unit manager themselves to handle, and charge nurses. Obvious single goal is to please Joint Commission, not to educate nurses.

In any position, you’re expected to do a lot with very little. Wear multiple hats and keep the plates spinning simultaneously. This is common and well understood throughout. What is not, however, is the pay structure. How pay is calculated and whether education is required or just a bonus does not apply to all applicants (even when explicitly states as required in the description). There is a complete lack of transparency in what positions will pay and the required versus preferred education to hold them. HR hides behind some alleged Ascension mandate for pay according to position yet manages to find six figure salaries for administration’s preferred candidate (regardless of their ability to meet the education and experience requirements). Morale is at an all time low. Long time employees are leaving in droves and the dishonesty from HR and administration is responsible.
