registered nurse - Anonymous employee Essentia Health Employee Review

Overall non-toxic environment, love the colleagues, patients tend to be grateful

Lower end of salary spectrum for the job.

I really enjoyed the patients I worked with and a lot of the other providers as well. The new hospital is really nice.

The CEO is corrupt. You will feel like a number at Essentia. Advanced practitioners have no say in their job. They can change your job duties at any time. They can send you to other locations at any time. And do you have no say in this. The physicians definitely have a better position than any of the advanced practitioners. They are treated a lot better by management. There’s a reason the advanced practitioners voted to unionize. There were plenty of nurses that were making the same amount of money as advanced practitioners there. And the nurses had great locked in benefits with being unionized. Where advanced practitioners would only get two weeks paid for maternity leave.
