Altru Health System Reviews

Unsafe staffing ratios. Upper management is overbearing and uninterested in hearing input from bedside staff. No raises or bonuses due to hospital losing money. They allow physicians to verbally abuse nursing staff. Structurally, the hospital is (literally) falling apart. Hospital staff have to park far away (20 minute walk) while administration gets to park right next to the hospital. The cafeteria closes at 7pm. The health insurance through Altru is a joke.

When I first started working here, I really enjoyed it, But management has become disastrous. They do not care about their staff. Always short staffed, no pay raises or ability to progress. Overworked! Unappreciated and managers don’t listen to feedback. They’re all about making money, even if it means having 1 staff member caring for way too many patients.. resulting in poor care. Managers get bonuses for being short staffed and pocket it for themselves. You’re frequently floated off your own unit to sit 1:1 with patients. I’d say go somewhere else, but it’s tough when they’re the ruling medical facility in grand forks.
