Answer:
|
|
|
|
The United States is suffering from a shortage of nurses, and many long time nurses are reaching retirement age and not enough newly trained nurses are entering the health care field to replace them.
The hospitals of Halifax·Fish Community Health are blessed with strong and dedicated nursing staffs, and experience a turn-over rate lower than the average in Florida and well below that of many of the hospitals that are critically short handed. This is not to say that our nurses are not hard-pressed to keep up with the needs of all our patients. They are, and with them we are working to relieve the pressures they encounter. We are recruiting constantly for more nurses, especially in specialty areas. We are adding support personnel to allow nurses to nurse, not have to take time for patient transport, dietary service, maintenance or clerical work. We are fortunate to have schools of nursing at Daytona Beach Community College; Bethune-Cookman College and the University of Central Florida which are graduating well-trained nurses, many of whom want to stay in our area and are welcomed to our staff. That's the long answer. The short one is that, yes, you can expect complete and competent care in a stay at Halifax or Bert Fish medical centers. Remember, too that family members are welcomed in our general care areas and can often assist in meeting your needs.
