It is a good wage for the area but still not worth it.
Svantaggi
It is hard to know where to start. The morale at this place is so low, everyone is harsh to each other - people aren't even nice when you are training. The management are absolutely clueless and imcompetent. They make decisions based on who knows what, but it has nothing -absolutely nothing - to do with patient safety, experience, or therapeutic value, staff safety, or common sense. Nurses are treated like second rate disposable garbage. There is no follow through or delivery on anything. Everyday is an unorganized circus, people are angry, no protocols are employed. There is zero communication - they will change a process and then send an email out the before and expect the entire staff to just get it with very little explanation. The nurse to patient ratios frequently are higher than 10:1. You barely have enough time to chart and you have so many patients, it is impossible to attend to the individual. They expect nurses to lead groups each day as well, with no training or guidance. They will lie to you in the interview and say that they don't have security because they do not accept violent patients. THEY ABSOUTELY ACCEPT VIOLENT AND AGGRESSIVE PATIENTS frequently. Known to the company offenders - not the "occasional slip" like the directors will insist. They want heads in beds and they do not care if you are safe or not. This place is just about as poorly run and unsafe as a healthcare place can be. Patients riot, and it is not staffed well enough to respond. There is not a secure nursing station. Staff members frequently cry on the floor. High turnover. I wouldn't recommend this place to a patient or a coworker. Horrible charting system with so many glitches. Shotty nonexistent protocols. Absolutely toxic workplace. They also don't let you use PTO on weekends, and they require on-call overtime hours. To say it is a stressful job would be the understatement of a critical value. Do not work here if you have even basic self respect. I seriously have never experienced a more disorganized work place. Run Away!
