Profit driven at patient and staff expense - RN Staff Nurse Athena Health Care Systems Employee Review

Unsafe patient loads and acuity depending on patient mix. Management and corporate philosophy pay lip service to the notion of open communication and maintaining excellent clinical environment. In reality, this for-profit corp seems to be completely rigid and strictly census-driven. Professionally expressed concerns to administrator are essentially ignored despite their frequency and consistency. A dystopian work environment for the conscientious RN. Purchased a well regarded facility and slashed staffing to unsafe ratios, deeply damaging a well earned reputation in this geographical area. Complaints are met with canned responses by administrator with no apparent grasp of medical outcomes and the nursing process.
