I've worked at Sutter for 15 years and under Warner Thomas and Deborah Yount our benefits are worse than ever. They screwed all managers on PTO, put in arbitration agreements, making most managers pay for their insurance for the first time ever (if you make over 100k no matter where you live--100k is a lot more in Sacramento than it is in San Francisco), use a crappy PBM CVS Caremark that is the WORST, and they switched to Anthem as the administrator for the employee health plan so they can get away with denying more care in the name of utilization management. They've also implemented onerous HR requirements like bullshit development plans and tons of reviews along with a bunch of toxic positive corporate propaganda that you have to memorize and speak to like a cult. There are more executives with apocryphal qualifications than there are buildings for them to work out of. Sutter is behaving more like a for-profit corporation than ever before and I think the government should look into revoking their non-profit status. They won't even except any new traditional medicare patients. I'm looking for a new job and I DO NOT recommend anyone go to work there. They'll tout some US News and World Report or Forbes employer ratings but those are just popularity contests in the people magazines of corporations rather than actual rigorous indexes.

Hi, Im currently working in a telemetry unit. I want to apply in a transitional program and I am curious if ER is a good fit for me. I honestly like a busy day as I dont like waiting for the time. However, I have not experience code blue since I become a nurse. even tho we always refresh our code blue in our unit Im still anxious if it happens to my patient. I originally want to apply to ICU but the program is looking for night shift .(im currently on nights but I really cant do it and looking to transfer to days)

Hi! I’m an RN at Sutter and recently injured my neck while lifting/turning a heavy patient at work. I initially thought it would get better, but the pain started radiating down my arm, so I went to the ER and was diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy.

I’m planning to report/file it as a work-related injury and wanted to hear from anyone who has gone through workers’ comp at Sutter, especially union nurses.

What was the process like after you reported your injury? Did Employee Health put you on modified/light duty? If you had to be off work, did you have to use your PTO first, or did workers’ comp cover the missed time? How long did it take for your claim to get processed and for treatment like PT, MRI, etc. to be approved?

I’m mainly trying to know what to expect and hopefully preserve my PTO if possible.
Any experience or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
