Pros
Coworkers kept me there. Opportunities and respected in own department but not with organization.
Cons
Mission and values of St. Vincent hospital prior to Ascension coming in was good. Nuns presence made a difference. Respected among the community. It is obvious that Ascension leaders care more for green going into their pockets than patient care, patient safety, staff safety, technology and building maintenance. Physicians and nurses are not on same team, physicians rule the place and are the golden children. Leaders at Ascension corporate office in St. Louis are extremely disconnected with what clinical staff does every day, how much spare time clinical staff have and what staff in a hospital actually does. In addition, leaders, such as regional directors, don’t have qualifications or experience. Marketing isn’t keeping up, more Riley and IU Health ads and fundraisers around town than StV, Ascension or PMCH.
