Blessing Health System Reviews

Nurse to patient ratios are very high. There is a large amount of alcohol, tobacco, and drug abuse among this very rural population, which leads to many readmissions and non-compliance among patients. The executive team shakes up the middle management on a very regular basis (every 2-3 years), which leads to constant change and confusion for staff and patients. Career employees are reshuffled for seemingly no good reason (directors, etc.) There doesn't seem to be a true "mission" just an endless quest for Magnet status and patient satisfaction scores at the cost of losing employees.

Management is awful and now all about the bottom line and making the most money. The HR department is useless for anything above directing you to someone's voicemail. Blessing's policy is to pay at the 50th percentile of wages for the area...so I was only able to make ends meet through creative and careful planning. Lastly, I suffered a traumatic workplace injury, where I broke 2 bones and tore the ligaments in my ankle. I was told by my manager that I could come back with the restrictions of 100% sitting and the day before I came back was informed that I had to meet with HR first. In my meeting with HR, and my mgr, and department mgr, I was informed that if I could not return to work with 100% clearance from my dr. I would be released from my job within 30 days. An HR representative said, and I quote, "We are not required to make any concessions for you, so we won't"
