Vantaggi

Staff want the best for the patients; often going above and beyond for them. From the CEO, DON and ADON to the Nursing Supervisor on shift; everyone works in a supportive team effort to make the best of each day.

Svantaggi

Staffing ratio is currently 11:1, so once we have 12 patients, we can have a second tech. This doesn't take into account the acuity of the patients on the unit. One tech can't be in two places at a time. Making it the nurse's job to now round on the patients. From time to time, some staff members need reminding that we are a team. Everyone has their own duties to perform, however, patient care is our number one priority. Pay is also 18% below the national. Average hiring rates are about $17 right now, with is more than I make after two promotions & special projects. It is incredibly frustrating. The insurance costs more now and covers less, which I also find just wonderful.

Vantaggi

Ability to work from home, bonus money is decent, and overtime is pretty abundant.

Svantaggi

Cons: Management showed very little compassion or flexibility during serious medical situations. I was dealing with severe spinal cord compression and kept my supervisor informed every step of the way. My doctor’s appointment had to be rescheduled due to a tornado threat, and the physician was unexpectedly out until the following Monday, which delayed my documentation. Despite being upfront and communicative, I was terminated before I could even obtain the note. Losing my job and health insurance in the middle of a serious medical crisis was devastating. The role itself can also feel emotionally draining because intake staff are often left handling upset patients and families without enough support from the facilities. I had to reschedule my surgery so I couldn’t get married and put on my Husband’s insurance, kind of sucks a healthcare company would do an employee that way!
