Pros

I like working for a company that is actually helping someone and healthcare fits that bill. I am thankful for a job, at least - it could be worse, as we all well know.

Cons

The employees were told last year that people due increases in their PTO (paid time off) hours would not be receiving the increase, due to the economy. This ban was lifted on 1/1/2011, to the delight of the employees. What they did not tell us is that we now do not get our increase until our NEXT anniversary date, BUT, and this is the kicker, the people who have reached their milestone dates (5 year, 10 year) anniversaries on or after 1/1/2011 ARE already receiving their increase. SO, the people who were passed by last year have to wait and continue to be passed over in favor of employees with a year less service time. Where is the justice in this???

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.
