Pros
Used to be a wonderful place to work.
Cons
In the past Centra was a great place to work. Once the CEO retired it was never the same. The new CEO and the people directly under him are purely money driven. A certain physician that was hired under the CEO is completely clueless when it comes to EMR, health information, transcription, etc. and decided to close down the entire transcription department in order to obtain a high tech speech recognition system that has been shown over the years to be a complete disaster in a hospital setting. The other physician that was hired as well has the most horrible personality and is down right rude to employees. We have personally heard physicians make sexist remarks about nurses as well as derogatory, hateful comments about patients and/or their families; their behavior is the most unprofessional I have ever seen in the many years I have worked in the medical field! They are also finding "ways" to hike up a patient's bill which I find absolutely mean and greedy to do to the patients. Other practices such as examining a "sleeping patient" I find totally perverse and unethical. Patients are also being charged by a rounding physician, even if the patient has gone to get an x-ray, etc., and is not even in the room.
