Pros

The pay was decent. Gained a lot of experience and mental health nursing. Was offered opportunities for advancement. plenty of overtime.

Cons

The culture of the place is census driven rather than patient centered. I had several safety concerns that were not taken seriously. many of my coworkers were physically assaulted.

Pros

Ability to work from home, bonus money is decent, and overtime is pretty abundant.

Cons

Cons: Management showed very little compassion or flexibility during serious medical situations. I was dealing with severe spinal cord compression and kept my supervisor informed every step of the way. My doctor’s appointment had to be rescheduled due to a tornado threat, and the physician was unexpectedly out until the following Monday, which delayed my documentation. Despite being upfront and communicative, I was terminated before I could even obtain the note. Losing my job and health insurance in the middle of a serious medical crisis was devastating. The role itself can also feel emotionally draining because intake staff are often left handling upset patients and families without enough support from the facilities. I had to reschedule my surgery so I couldn’t get married and put on my Husband’s insurance, kind of sucks a healthcare company would do an employee that way!
