Pros: the nurses provided fantastic care to the patients, were professional, caring, were interested in the growth of nursing, interested in the growth of the organization.
Cons: lack of support, mistreatment of nursing personnel, rude to staff, untruthful.
I worked at Piedmont for over 6 years, first on a Women's Med/Surg floor then an orthopedics floor. I left in good standing with the possiblity of rehire. The major flaw I found at PMC was the lack of support and respect that upper management had for experienced nurses. The President of Nursing during the last 2-3 years of my employment there, actually
– more... fired several RN's (charge nurses) who had given many years of service to the hospital. For those of us left, we constantly worked under the fear of being fired for bogus reasons just as our senoir nurses were. ( Those nurses fired were ones who were part of the community and cared not only about their patients but the reputation of the hospital as well) . The President of Piedmont Medical Center during my employment was not a supportive figure either. – less
