King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Employee Reviews for Registered Nurse

Poorly managed. Not uniform with other areas. Other areas are managed well, like their staff rooms, no designated sleeping quarters for night staff compared to other trusts, some are just physically there but not doing the work. Poor when it comes to resolution and solving root cause of the problems (e.g. infection control, broken communication with staff, etc.).Resources are being wasted.

Pros

Supportive when it comes to staff problems

Cons

Poor solutions with staff problems Slow in finding solutions

Great place to learn, teaching quality excellent

Band 5 Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - denmark hill - 21 June 2021

A really good place to learn and be familiar with the latest evidence based practice. Technology in health really good, safety is a priority. If you want to learn and put in practice your nursing skills supported by technology and autonomy Kings is the right place to be. Nursing in Kings is tough job but people and your colleagues make everything easier. Not everyone will be a sweet candy as in any other job. I found working for Kings College as the best experience I had in nursing. Please apply do not hesitate to gain the experience to work for one of the best Hospitals in London.

Pros

learning, training, nursing skills, Technology, people, values

Cons

shortage in nursing workfoce, move to other wards constantly

Very poor management

Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - Princess Royal University Hospital - 11 May 2020

Very poor management. Lazy staff could get on with their customs...Every time I have raised a concern about some staff members I felt like it was just brushed behind the door.

Fast paced, busy and short staffed.

Care that is effective and efficient is paramount in King's ethos, however resources are incredibly stretched and there is a major deficit in staffing levels.

Prestigious establishment

Am just using the website for the first time so I don't know how effect is going to be. I was not happy in my old post after I came back from long time illness . So I can not really give true review at the moment.

Pros

The environment can be conducive to work in

Cons

Long hours and busy
