Advent Health

Advent health is a well-oiled machine. Training is excellent, but staff are heavily scrutinized and micromanaged. In my option they’re more focused on convincing patients they’re getting good care than actually ensuring patients receive good care. Managers listen outside patient doorways to bedside shift report, med passes, and hourly rounds and critique how well you follow a script. You’re also criticized for incomplete white boards and hourly rounding clocks if they aren’t checked every hour, regardless of how short the unit is that day. 

Attendance policy across most units I’ve worked for is you get a “strike” for any callout, regardless of the reason. If you get three “strikes” they say you’re subject to disciplinary action, whatever that means. In my opinion you shouldn’t be penalized if you have proof of a valid medical excuse, family emergency, etc. If you call out on a weekend or holiday you automatically get scheduled for the next calendar one to make it up, regardless of the reason for the fallout. Nurses I’ve known who work for other systems don’t have these same policies. I’ve also heard of other systems offering more seniority to their nurses with holiday and weekend preferences. 

I will say that our ratios are currently better than other local hospitals, according to the travel nurses and friends I’ve spoken with. I’m PCU and we never have more than 5 patients. Techs are supposed to be 2-3 for our 26-bed unit but that’s inconsistent. 

Overall not a terrible place to work, any hospital bedside position will have similar pros and cons. The ratios are the most important to me so I stay, and the pay is about the same between all of the local hospital systems.

P.S. The religious aspect can be very “in your face” depending on your unit/campus. Most units do a morning prayer as part of the staff huddle, and I’ve even been at work when someone came on the intercom system for the whole hospital and wanted to lead everyone in prayer. I’m neutral towards religion but this could definitely make other employees/patients uncomfortable. They also have chaplains who round with every patient and ask if they want prayer so many times I’ll walk into a room trying to do a med pass or round with the physician and walk in on the chaplain praying. This doesn’t matter enough to keep me from wanting to work with advent health but just something to be aware of. Again the intensity varies by unit. If you work at the Orlando campus prepare to be greeted by a giant Jesus mural. 

Title: Deeply Concerning Work Environment for Nurses

As a registered nurse at AdventHealth, I have witnessed firsthand the troubling culture within the workplace. Leadership and management appear to focus almost exclusively on patient satisfaction scores—often at the expense of ethical standards, clinical judgment, and compliance with nursing board protocols.

There is a profound lack of support from management when it comes to protecting safe nursing practices. Nurses are routinely placed in compromising situations, expected to perform tasks outside their legal scope of practice simply because physicians are unavailable or fail to enter timely orders. Too often, physicians are absent from the unit or disengaged from patient charts, placing both patients and nurses at significant risk.

The constant pressure to prioritize patient satisfaction over patient safety fosters an environment of moral distress and professional discomfort. It is discouraging to work within a system that seems to value ratings and public image more than ethical care and the well-being of both patients and staff.

I remain committed to delivering excellent care, but this must never come at the cost of violating board regulations or jeopardizing patient safety. I urge AdventHealth leadership to reevaluate its priorities and demonstrate genuine support for its clinical staff—not only in statements, but through meaningful, actionable change.


If you’re considering working here, think twice  especially if you value your mental health, fair treatment, or basic human decency.

The actual job? Easy.
The people? A complete circus.
You’re expected to smile through micromanagement, favoritism, and constant emotional labor from patients and staff alike all while being denied basic things like sick days (even with doctor’s notes) or professional support when you’re disrespected.

Leadership pretends to care, but they’re really just playing favorites. Toxic employees are allowed to run the place, and if you speak up or show boundaries? You get labeled with an “attitude.”

I watched qualified people get overlooked, emotionally manipulated, and spoken down to by supervisors who got their roles through friendships not skill. HR? Useless. Meetings were more about silencing the truth than improving the workplace.

After giving them my patience, my professionalism, and my peace, I finally walked out the back door no notice, no guilt, and no regrets.

If you value yourself, run. This place will drain you and then gaslight you into thinking it’s normal.

This hospital has a lot of spiritual problems for pretending they are working for CHRIST. They are so unorganized they like the bible said they have the appearance of doing a great Job from the outside but when you come close nah it is evildoers. They will mess up your career for unfair reasons they will blame you for what you haven’t done. The administration the manager is extremely unprofessional  and poor. Try to avoid working for Adventhealth. Also they are favoritism. They have been having system issues with epic and five9 and they employees paid the price for it. They don’t track the queue moderators chat and mark you as late when you are on time. This is just disappointed to work for an hospital like that. And for the attendance, a supervisor has to tell you when they want, how is your attendance. Like they don’t have a system where you can track it on your own. Too much cliché. Just see for yourself. They will strain your efforts 


I worked at AdventHealth Central Texas and unfortunately had a deeply disappointing experience. While the organization promotes values of faith, compassion, and integrity, my time there revealed a different reality.

I encountered an environment where mid-level politics often overshadowed fairness and professionalism. Decisions were frequently influenced by internal alliances rather than merit or performance. Even more concerning, I experienced what I believe was discriminatory treatment, which ultimately led to my termination.

I raised concerns through the proper internal channels, but they were either dismissed or ignored. This left me feeling unsupported and marginalized.

I’m sharing this in hopes that the organization takes these issues seriously and works toward fostering a truly inclusive and ethical workplace, where employees are treated with respect and equity, regardless of their background or position.

My typical day start with a list of pt and procedures and the doctors. Fir the most part the day can start smooth depends who is te doctor.  Or very stressful and not knowing te expectation of wich mood the doctor will arrive on. You can start right on time or very late because of the doctor. As the day goes buy. It could face there challenges as it procedures cancelations or add patient to procedures or it with complications. 

As far a huddle.  The Gi department get excluded. When you see you management in the morning its seem to be for negative stuff. There is never an acknowledgement  from upper management to congratulate or point out the positive work day or what a great job. Or thank you for staying over and help or covering the other hospital.  The expectation from the doctors from the new staff is unrealistic. . Training process not enough time. And the willingness of the doctor to explained and teach its not approachable. .

I've worked in multiple departments with AdventHealth and had the same experience overall. I went through the transition from Florida Hospital systems to AdventHealth. It's honestly gone downhill since the transition and that's reflected from our patients and scorecards. Overworked, underpaid, constantly being asked to do more worked for less. The benefits are nice (medical, dental, and vision insurance, 403(b) retirement account) but at some point I don't feel they outweigh the job. Since the go-live with Epic, it's honestly been a nightmare. No training that pertained to my daily job, lots of tickets logged without resolution, and yet corporate expects goals to still be exceeded without guidance from the top. It's been a very hypocritical environment. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Advent health hospital in Orange City is the staff. I’m a Respiratory Therapist and I loved my bosses and colleagues. Everyone was a team player and any our manager, supervisor and director was always available and ready to help us with any issues we had. I have only great things to say about the hospital and the people that work there. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lots of mandatory education. Not as great for PRN staff since, you have to keep up with them. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excellent environment and culture community. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work hard and take care of your patients and you will have an awesome day

Since Florida hospital became advent it is a terrible corporation to work for! 22 years of my life I have given my loyalty to this corporation and when I needed them they told me to kick rocks!! Their compensation is the worst, they preach their service standards but don’t practice them with their employees. Nonprofit? Not true, All they care about is the bottom dollar. There are no perks for loyalty and they do not care about your personal life or human issues. I am happy to be leaving this company.  I will never return to advent. They do not value their nurses and will throw you under the bus in the blink of an eye.  Management does not advocate for you or keep you safe. They only care about getting their bonuses and even recently took money away from their senior staff. They should be ashamed of themselves!!
