Pros

top leadership believes in quality of care, great benefits, the message at the top is so positive and encouraging it makes you want to work there. I am afforded a generous budget for supplies and labor which allows me to do an excellent job taking care of sick elderly patients

Cons

middle management that demeans you, they have a terrible way of motivating leaders at the facility level and make you feel it is all about the numbers, not supportive at all, in fact they have been downright threatening and abusive at times on conference calls and facility leaders have felt demoralized and had no means of recourse. The Compliance line is great for line staff to call and tell a bunch of lies, but leaders who have real issues are afraid to use it for fear of retribution. Another issue is the mentality of my work force...too many feel that we are privileged to have them work for us, instead of them feeling privileged to have a job. So many of them are not in this profession for the right reasons, the amount of game playing is ridiculous,

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.
