Pros

Nice office staff, enjoy the children and other nurses. Schedule is flexible. Mostly 12 hour shifts. I believe the pay is a little above average.

Cons

Poor benefits and only a 38 hours a year in PTO so with 12 hour shifts that is 3 days per year. If your patient has to be hospitalized...there goes your PTO because you do not get compensated unless you are actually working. The absolute worst thing is holiday pay! If you are in over time hours.. you do NOT get holiday pay. They don't pay both overtime and holiday. So DO NOT volunteer to work a holiday that is not part of your schedule!

Thank you for your positive review and would like to address your specific needs with you. Generally speaking to your concerns; we know that if a patient is in the hospital it will affect the nurse's hours so we offer the nurse an alternate schedule or to help with one of our other offices. Sometimes situations occur that will not work with the nurses schedule and we apologize if this happened to you. We also offer increased PTO for our long term employees. Holiday pay (time and a half) is paid at the same rate as overtime rate or if not in OT you would be paid holiday pay. Our labor policies follow what the Department of Labor mandates. If an employee is already in overtime unfortunately he/she does not receive double overtime. We offer holiday pay to assist our patients in having help over the holidays. We value the nurses time and availability and this is a small way we can give back to them.

Pros

-Charting system is very user-friendly -Decent benefits -Company is not the best not the worst

Cons

-Few cases available based on location -No transparency about harder cases prior to sining on -PTO is 1 hour for every 40 hours worked so if you do a traditional 36 hour week no PTO

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Children's Home Healthcare. We appreciate hearing both what's working and where we can improve. We're glad the charting system has been user-friendly and that the benefits have been valuable to you. Feedback like this helps us understand which investments are paying off for our team. I do want to gently correct one point so other readers (and current team members) have accurate information: our PTO policy starts accruing at 3 hours for every 72 hours worked, not 1 hour per 40. For a nurse working a 36-hour week, that comes out to roughly 1.5 hours of PTO per week, or about 78 hours per year at that schedule — meaningfully more than the policy you described. The PTO rate also increases based on tenure. On case availability and transparency around more complex cases — that feedback is fair and something we take seriously. Caseload depends heavily on geography and schedule availability in a given region, but the experience of signing on without a clear picture of what a case involves isn't the standard we want to set. We're working on improving how case details are communicated upfront during the matching process. We wish you the very best in your next role, and thank you again for the honest review. — Children's Home Healthcare
