1- No opportunities to grow within your field (i.e. no training in specific techniques, not willing to improve care for patients or try new BETTER ways of doing things).
2- You are there to provide the most basic care that will get the patients discharged; you are not motivated to develop new skills or a higher clinical skill set to provide top of the line care.
3- Nurses are overall rude, lazy, slow and sometimes don’t even know what to do or how rehab relates to their job. *Not all of them are that way, but most are.
4- Many times, CNA’s will not change their patient’s in a timely manner unless someone from the rehab team says “I need to provide services, please change them.”.
5- Overall care is very sad and as a provider there I would NEVER bring a family or friend to the facility for services. It gets depressing at times.
6- Hours are never stable. You can have weeks of 5 full 8-10 hour days as well as weeks with only 3 days of 4 hours or less.
