I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has written a statement concerning the racism you will experience at Northside Hospital Cherokee. If your not WHITE you will be viewed as a second class citizen/worker no matter what degree or clinical experience you may have. Do yourself and your family a favor and stay as far away from that place as you can. It's one of the most racist places I have ever worked as a Professional Nurse. Racism is alive and well at Northside Hospital Cherokee beware! But if your white with blonde hair, you will be welcomed with open arms. Most blacks who have worked there have the same sentiment! I've even heard it said that they hire black just so they can get government money such as Medicaid and Medicare but they are definitely not welcome.
