Great benefits, Heavy workload - Registered Nurse Encompass Health Employee Review

Very heavy assignments, high patient acuity, 8:1 ratios for nurses, have to do both jobs of tech and nurse. The pace is very heavy with little stop. Techs do not understand difference between role and scope of their job vs nurse's job. If techs see you charting or trying to critically think about a patient situation, they assume you are "just sitting around" and will tell you to go answer lights or they disappear, so you are left doing both their job and your own. Some techs are very understanding and good at their jobs. Many patients not appropriate for the intense rehab environment. All in all, difficult hard and heavy job, but with great benefits.
