Pros

Home health is a rewarding career for a clinician. It allows you to help patients in their own environment. However, it is one of the hardest jobs I have done in my career as a nurse. The group of professionals I work with are caring, giving and work hard to met the demands of excessive paper work, long hours, and patients that are need of expert care for chronic illnesses. Amedisys offers education and support to meet requirements needed to care for such patients.

Cons

Amedisys does not plan for long term solutions. They develop job positions to take care of crisis situations. It seems once the crisis is over the jobs are downsized, rearranged, or whatever terminology is needed to change things again. The clinicians I work with give 110% of themselves to these job roles. I suppose one could say "Here today. Gone tomorrow."

Pros

- I love being able to make my own schedule and see patients on my own time. - I love the care center hospice team that I work with. My DOO (Director of Operations) is very kind, a team player, and encourages the team to be their best. - Insurance benefits are also a plus (Blue Cross/Blue Sheild).

Cons

- I don't enjoy having to drive around and to far distances to see patients. Also, don't enjoy when patients and family members cancel visits because I won't get paid unless I make the visit. - Upper management doesn't care about the well-being of the local care center employees. Upper management puts to much stress on the DOO for stats and productivity quotas. - Upper management is cheap and doesn't contribute money to celebrate their employees like with a Christmas party (local care centers have to bring pot-luck style food and throw their own Christmas parties).
