Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Very stressful environment with tons of turnover. Very little training given and will fire you if you are not up to speed within your first week. Tattle tell environment that does not care for its employees. No bonuses for employees (except for execs and sales).

RNs on the front lines

Pros

My branch: Employees care about quality of patient care. No (or very few) errors with drugs and supplies. Nice people. Great manager. Great support after hours and on weekends. Really good team work. I recommend this place to work because, if you're an RN, it's about as imperfect as anywhere else you'll work, in some ways better. And it's stable. The other 6 home IV companies I've worked in the last 15 years were a lot worse in areas of patient care and work culture, and they kept going out of business.

Cons

Terrible mileage reimbursement--hasn't change for years. Every time the price of gas goes up, it's a cut in pay. Unless you have huge itemized expenditures, there is no practical way to recover this cost when filing taxes. The only way to make money with home IV is to build the business, then sell it. So the message we get from the culture is: Drug sales are paramount. Return on investment is the priority. Sure, of course we like nurses, we value nurses, but if we didn't need RNs we'd make way more money. All they want is per diem RNs so they don't have to pay benefits for full-time nurses--the benefits are minimal.
