Pros

Some coworkers are supportive, but so overworked there isn't much time to be personal.

Cons

Absolutely zero dependable support staff. At times, there would only be 3 CNA's on the floor for over 50 patients; and worse than that, many times they would work a nurse short, and have the other nurses take on a very dangerous patient ratio. Zero support from Care Managers who are very unprofessional and will not support you if you aren't in their "click." There are zero opportunities for continued education. The patients are neglected and I would never put a family member in this facility.

Pros

Working here made my heart happy and fulfilled. A few residents were sweet and nice to work with.

Cons

It was SOOO stressful! My own health deteriorated as a result to helping others lead an okay life. Residents pushed their call button when they wanted a friend. My job was active (18,000-20,000 steps in 8 hours). We VERY rarely took required breaks. I quit when it was too much stress and I ended up in the hospital. I was tracking my steps and weight and I lost over 50 pounds in about 4 months. Because I was putting out more energy than I was able to bring in.

Pros

Hard working, dedicated team of LNs and NACs. Management recognizes when staff is struggling and pitches in their best effort to help out as much as they can. Friendly, fun work environment. Great learning opportunity and room to grow and advance in the company.

Cons

Short staffed with NACs, which creates a lot of burnout and turnover. Major con= cooperation has too many rules
