Pros
Field Clinicians are like family members. The best and most professional clinicians I had the honor of working with.
Cons
Supervisors unreachable and unqualified to make nursing decisions since none of them are Nurses. Management has a "tin ear" and refuses to acknowledge its own shortcomings while blaming field clinicians for any and everything that goes wrong. Policy initiatives are made on the fly with no forewarnings to staff. Training on EMR system is far inadequate. Pay sucks and is not competitive with other large hospital backed HomeCare services. Culture is toxic and hostility is felt anytime a clinician enters offices. Reprisals are normal. Backstabbing is their normal code of conduct. ICARE mandate apparently does not apply to supervisors or upper level management in how they interact with subordinates. Supervisors unnecessarily send RN's, PT's, OT's and others into very dangerous locations in the middle of the night when risks of dying by gunshot are high.
