Low paid nurses, very high acuity patients, unfair compensation compared to surrounding hospitals. Shift differentials are the key difference, base pay may be similar to surrounding but the shift differentials are way off. We need compensation more than .50cents an hour to work a cardiac unit also. Tanner doesn’t focus on employee retention, need to take it “back to the basics” and focus on keeping and compensating the ones who have stuck through it.

Been a Tanner employee for over 20 years.. if new employees are getting incentives to come, we should get incentives to stay.

I work really hard and I am loyal to my company. Pay the dedicated people that stay through the hard times.

We all work incredibly hard, training, ensuring pt safety/comfort/health, as we gain experience the fact that new graduates make more is frustrating as we take on the burden of their education and consequences of their inexperience and they get to start off well while we play catch up. Do my years of experience mean nothing? Does my knowledge hold such little value? My job is no feel good movie, it has stressed me into sickness but still I give my best to my new grads and to my patients. I have no savings, I live paycheck to paycheck with a definite need for side hustles. I should not be faced with 'do I need to pick up OT and risk my body getting sicker?'

I feel like dedicated employees should be rewarded.

A seasoned nurse deserves to be compensated more than what a new grad is hired in making per hour. Not to mention the sign on bonuses they are accruing with their higher pay. Cost of living has gone up drastically and we should be compensated equally for that.

Because the cost of living has increased and so has new hire starting pay and we aren’t being compensated the same for our dedication to tanner instead of finding somewhere else to work that pays more.

I feel Tanner should work toward staff retention not strictly addressing the need for new employees.

The senior nurses are doing a good job teaching new oncoming nurses without “eating them” thereby helping Tanner grow in a dedicated and well equipped workforce

We work so hard to be underpaid and under appreciated

As a new grad nurse, I am being compensated based on the salary changes as a new nurse. Which I am deeply appreciative, but It isn’t fair nor right for my senior nurses. These nurses have watched me grow from tech to nurse over the last three years are being paid only $2 or $3 more than me. It makes it feel as though they aren’t appreciated by the company, and they definitely should be. They have continued to care for patients thru the pandemic, short staffing, and with the constant change in policies. They even take the time to train all of the continuous new grads being brought in and don’t receive any compensation for all they dedicated work. It needs to change, because we NEED it to and THEY deserve it!

RN for 10yrs and not happy with my rate compared to what new grads get.

The cost of living now has made it barely affordable for families to keep their head above water.

We as dedicated employees should be getting compensation for our loyalty to Tanner.

Increase the wages of nurses will help retain good nurses instead of losing them

Merit raises are not based on the merit of dedicated long term employees. Raising the base pay of incoming nurses should raise the base pay of current employees.

Bc dedicated employees receive pitiful rasies and the money does NOT cover the increased cost of living by a long shot

I've been a RN for over 45 years. These new graduates come in the door making almost twice I do. And, they know nothing about teaching patients & families. Where's their empathy?
Their focus seems to be aimed at paperwork. My experience should count for something. My skills should count for something. I wanted to work another 5 years, but, next week is beginning to sound a better option.

I find myself reflecting on being thankful to have a job and able to work. I have put in many years of service. Now, I feel shirts and food are nice however shirts are not part of the dress code for nurses. Reallocate those resources. Appreciative of any pay raise yet I know it goes straight into the higher premiums for health insurance and deductibles for me and my family. I would like to use more of the money I "keep" for other things than necessities. I thought getting a college degree and a nursing job would be enough. I am looking into side hustle because time for dollars is not how I want to spend the rest of my life. My time is precious. My skill set and experience are valuable. Sure I can pick up more shifts and more OT but that means less time with my family, less time with helping take care of my grandparents, less time to go to school activities, less time to be at home, less time to go to dr appointments, and the list goes on. Truly getting a life changing pay raise would be a blessing for me and the people in my life. I don't have a new house or car and yes I'm aware of trying to be financial smart and that only gets you so far in today's world. I hate to say more money is the answer to all my problems but would it be incredible to see it actually be significant enough for me to be like "Wow, I really am ok and then some. I can pay my bills, have savings, go on trips, not rack up debt, help others with all these natural disasters without fear of losing my own home" then yes by all means please make it happen! Thank you for your time.

Because of the current high inflation in the country, and paying of the new graduates nurses more than experience Staff.

If new employees are getting incentives to come and work at tanner and some are getting paid more than employees that have been working over 10year. What is keeping the senior nurses to stay at tanner if tanner is more concerned with only new nurses

The cost of living is way more and the newer nurses come in making about the same as the older nurses and we’ve been here longer.

Former Tanner employee who left because pay was NOT adequate for what you do as a nurse there!!!

The cost of living is more expensive than it used to be three years ago. The things staff goes through on a daily is verbally abusing and mentally abusing. We are over worked and underpaid.

I was an LPN first for 8 years but recently graduated with my RN in August 2024. I have helped teach many new RN’s while being an LPN and now still have while being an RN. I found out my RN pay was lower than some brand new grad RNs.

We are over worked and underpaid! We get abused physically and verbally by patients every day. We are ALWAYS short staffed and taking an unsafe amount of patients. They are giving us more responsibilities without compensation us for them! The cost of living has gone up tremendously so why hasn’t our pay?

I feel we give sign on bonuses and hire in at much higher pay rate than even some people f the nurses training them. There is no incentive for employees to stay and be loyal to their employer

Former Tanner employee for 3 years. Left due to many reasons. Compensation being one. I was offered a job at a closer hospital with starting pay $5 more an hour than what I was making at Tanner after 3 years of working as a nurse there.

Went through the whole COVID pandemic alongside with Tanner (severe shortage of nurses and supplies). Here comes the new grad with no experience starting with $10 more than our starting rate. We are already RN IV, no more clinical ladder to climb. They will make more than us in no time.

Dedicated employees who have been with this hospital for long term proved that we are “dedicated.” More so than the new employees who collect sign-on bonus and then leave to another hospital. We helped this hospital to be where it has become. We deserve a big pay raise.
