Pros

They will make the place seem like Disneyworld in the beginning, but don't let them deceive you. It's a terrible place to work. They will work you to death and ask for more.

Cons

Generally a life-sucking negative environment. Kindred likes to "say" that they value their employees, but they do not. Recently, the company core values were changed, but have not and do not operate by them. Nurses have too many patients and management wonders why patients fall, meds are late and hours are over. Equipment is awful, buildings are in poor condition, technology is nonexistent, computers for charting are constantly down or slow, call light system doesn't work correctly, new supplies are cheap/garbage, horrible communication (no mobile phones), etc. I could go on, but this seems like enough reason to work elsewhere.

Pros

The people I worked with.

Cons

I can say this now that I no longer work there: Kindred was both one of the best and one of the worst places I've ever worked. On one hand, I learned an incredible amount and gained valuable experience that helped me grow as a nurse. On the other hand, I spent nearly every shift worried about the safety of my nursing license due to what I felt were unsafe staffing ratios, some* poor leadership, and decisions that often seemed driven more by finances than patient care. I repaid my sign-on bonus on March 6, yet I'm now receiving letters claiming the payment was never received and threatening legal action. Fortunately, I have proof that the payment was made. What makes this especially frustrating is that I ultimately left because the stress of working there contributed to serious health issues, including a heart condition. I've attached the resignation letter I submitted when I left, as well as my ECG’s I took from my watch while working that resulted in me going to the ER the next day. Everyone's experience is different, but based on my own experience, I would strongly encourage nurses to do their research before accepting a position with Kindred Hospitals or Scion.
