Pros

The crew are kind to other workers and residents.

Cons

The salary is not sufficient if you, are a one income family. In med room, too much expected from workers that are not trained properly, ie, transcribing doctors orders, including meds.

Pros

Great nurses, some great CNAS, great residents

Cons

Says” like family “ I never felt like family there. Theft, lies, and secrets run the way there. The department I worked in gets dumped on a lot normally but here it’s even worse. Given 1 1/2 days of training , with no direct supervision for a month, had co workers unwilling to make changes and refused new ideas, I had a caused a few mishaps but I appologized for those mishaps, management lies about things I did and I have proof that they are lying. I advocated for residents and got in trouble. I shared personal stories with residents and got in trouble when I was answering questions, I got in trouble for asking questions.
