I will say this. My father was rushed to the Mercy ER over a month ago. He has been in critical care, a step down unit and a rehab unit.

Outside of two lazy nursing assistants who were too busy playing with their phones to even be polite, everyone has been fantastic. It is an awesome hospital. Especially in the critical care floor, where the doctors and nurses were incredible.

I don't know much about pay & benefits but I know that they are short staffed on nurses and they work 12 hour shifts.

So, in my opinion, Mercy is great.

I don't think West Penn is as busy but I haven't been there in years.
