Pros

Good hospital, great reputation in Western NC and the State. Emphasis on patient care and ensuring patients and familys have a good experience while in the hospital. System is growing and there are lots of opportunities. Fairly decent benefits.

Cons

Benefits are eroding yearly. Nurse to patient ratio is often 5x1 on Cardio-Vascular units. Pay is much better in other regions of the country.

Mission Health Response

Thank you for all the work you do each day to care for our community. Thanks for the kudos-- Mission has a great reputation, and our patients and families are our top priority. We also take pride in having a robust and diverse selection of benefits for our team members: http://missionandme.mission-health.org/total-rewards/. Mission Health's Cardiovascular and Cardiology Units participate with IBM Watson/Truven to benchmark our staffing plans to ensure appropriateness. In our CVICU and CICU, our staffing ratios are typically 2 patients/RN, unless patient acuity dictates otherwise. On our Cardiac Stepdown Units (3 Heart, 4 Heart, 5 Heart) our RN staffing ratios are typically 3-4 patients/RN on days and 3-5 patients/RN on nights. Our Nursing Team is also supported by PCTs on each shift. Hope this helps!

Pros

Great nurses, resilient community, many leadership growth opportunities, large hospital with many specialties, the only level 1 trauma center in WNC.

Cons

The hours are very challenging. often 5am to 6pm M-F. No additional compensation for extra hours, nights, or on-call weekends. You must love the work, and have minimal need for work-life balance to enjoy working here.
