Great place to learn skills, terrible staffing - Registered Nurse, Emergency Room Decatur Morgan Hospital Employee Review

Staffing: most of the time you do not have enough help and are triaging and treating patients back to back with a 4:1 ratio. We are suppose to take a lunch but it’s hard when you have multiple ICU holds and no one to keep a close eye on your patients. Management feedback: never recieved any feedback or criticism on my work. My annual review was almost the exact same as the previous year. I guess no feedback is good. Salary: pay is generally low in Alabama and base pay for nurses is $25/hour. Since Decatur Morgan Hospital is part of the Huntsville Hospital system, they dominate the area and don’t have to negotiate salaries and don’t compete.
