Overworked, Underpaid, Unsafe conditions for RRTs and patients
Pros
Experience a wide variety of healthcare conditions, diseases, traumas, and anomalies which will help with development and performance as a RRT.
Cons
Unsafe working conditions as far as heavy patient loads- a point system for determining assignments is not followed appropriately, underpaid for having to respond to every major rapid or code and management of the patient's airway, Atrium does not provide an incentive for high performer's, this year there is no pay increase for those the company believes already are paid fairly (including myself), as an Atrium employee you are required to use Atrium's insurance company and see Atrium providers for healthcare needs but the costs are steep. General poor culture within the workplace due to stress on employees of all the points I have already addressed.
