Pros

My immediate supervisor and my co-workers are desperately trying to actually focus on the quality of care and the patients as individuals. We are quality, caring staff.

Cons

Our division was a top quality division, recognized for providing quality care economically under our old vice-president's leadership. We have lost 3 Regional Managers, 3 Facility Administrators, several charge nurses, and staff because of a 'increase our profits by cutting staff and whoever's left will have to pick up the additional responsibilities and stay within the budget' mindset. We are now questioned on every supply order we've made which has often left us with borrowing from other facilities (competitors) due to lack of trust in our judgement. Several staff nurses, me included, are actively looking for positions elsewhere. Our recommendations fall on deaf ears.

Pros

Health insurance available after 60 days of employment but insuance card not received until a couple weeks later. Intranet system to access info.

Cons

Extremely poor communication. FA (Facility Administrator) uses scheduling staff to collect info on RNs. Dictatorial management style with heavy-handed punishments. Equipment & supplies not always well-maintained. A "core value" for DaVita is "fun" which demonstrates their pompous rhetoric....Pay levels are not equal for years of experience performing same job (including same modalities.)

Pros

Encouraging of advancement. Always having a class, review, webex. Want to give appearance of one for all .

Cons

No handson training. No consistency of notifying employees of new policies or changes. Too many reports, trends, etc for one to complete. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SUPPORT PATIENT CARE OR PATIENT ADVOCACY. Willing to demote or transfer without proper explanations.
