Pros

I have nothing positive to share about HCA Healthcare.

Cons

Unsafe. Unprofessional. Unrealistic. Staffing a pediatric ER with ONLY 2 nurses and saying "you can make it work". Thats not even enough people to run a proper code. Management who has no experience in the specialty and can't even perform basic nursing duties to help out. IF they even wanted to. It was always an excuse as to why they didn't want to come to work if conditions were impossible. Cancelled the much needed travelers. Threatened backlash if you quit. Promise after promise after promise which was lie after lie after lie. Multiple days with no lunch break. Multiple days with no bathroom break. Multiple days with inappropriate assignments and acuity. One shift...they even had ONE NURSE TO STAFF THE PEDIATRIC ER AND WERE OK WITH IT AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT AND NOTHING TO HELP! I will NEVER work at a HCA facility again and would recommend no one else does either.

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
