Pros

Pay seemed decent and the manager was really level headed and friendly

Cons

30 units is full time in a work week. They make full time nurses to work every 3rd weekend and then they get 1 day off for their weekend IF they do at least 15 units on Saturday and Sunday. What kind of bull crap is that? Then they make you work your holiday on your weekend so you work Monday thru Friday; then Saturday, Sunday and Monday. While every one else lounging getting 3 days off. They do that so they only have to give you one day off and call it your holiday... If you do like 21 points in those three days, then you get 2 days off. A whole week of work in 3 days, just so I can get my weekend? They just force salary nurses into overtime. If they see fit you get a weekend. Or maybe you won’t. You’ll never know lol… this logic is asinine. Nice way of screwing your nurses out of their holiday or the holiday pay. Those nurses need to report that crap to HR and get paid for all the holiday time you guys get screwed out of. No wonder they are short staffed. I didn’t take that job.

Pros

Field staff is good, especially the home health aides. Most of the nurses as well. Medical Directors are thorough.

Cons

Local management is poor. Bad communication, short staffed, take patients that live alone in bad situations with no plan for future care. Disasters waiting to happen. Employee well being is poor. No recognition for things you right or patient/ satisfaction. Nurses don’t get adequate time with patients. I
