Pros
Reasonably flexible hours/days, small team. The hospital itself, Vibra Specialty Hospital of Portland can be a good community centered place.
Cons
-Vibra Specialty Hospital in Portland, OR currently uses LifePoint Health to contract out the rehab team, and because LifePoint higher-ups aren't onsite or even on the West Coast, they have no idea what our day-to-day looks like, and hold unrealistic productivity standards. -Full time hours (30hrs) are hard to come by when census is low, high turnover of hospital staff and rehab staff makes staying "productive" even more unrealistic. -Old worn-down facilities, often broken and unsafe equipment, some of the hospital staff constantly ignores basic standard precautions and/or doesn't properly train new nurses and CNA's. -LifePoint pay is sub-par for the LTACH setting combined with the productivity percentage they try to enforce -- 88% for PTA's. **If Vibra took the rehab dept in-house and stopped using contract companies the patients, staff, and hospital would all benefit. Patients most importantly!
