Pros

Somewhat flexible hours and they hire newly graduated nurses, sort of an easy job to get as far as they go. Fairly laid back company to work for

Cons

Pay isn't that competitive, neither are benefits. You have to work 30+ hours per week to qualify for benefits Wage theft is a problem, nurses are required to be there 5 minutes early every shift for report but are never compensated. Also they are occasionally required to mail paperwork in which must be done on the way home and is also unpaid. There's no actual lunch break so at some client's homes where there's a lot to do you don't get a break. Because of COVID before anyone can take a vacation they have to report where they are going in order to be approved and then depending on the preference of the family you work for you may need to have a 3-5 day COVID pcr test and maybe even wait 3 days before that regardless of whether you are sick/symptomatic. They don't give much PTO so vacations are extra difficult to take

Pros

The company is nurse-led, and that makes a meaningful difference in how nurses are supported. I always felt valued and appreciated because leadership genuinely listened to our concerns and cared about our well-being. Although I worked independently in home care, I never felt like I was on my own. The clinical team was an outstanding resource—always approachable, knowledgeable, and ready to provide guidance whenever I needed support, which helped me feel confident and well-prepared in my role. The scheduling team was equally wonderful to work with. They communicated clearly, were responsive, and consistently did their best to accommodate nurses’ schedules and preferences. Overall, the company fostered a supportive, collaborative culture where nurses were respected, empowered, and set up for success.

Cons

Hand written charting, limited growth for new grad nurses, 0.5% annual increase

Pros

NCC office staff are compassionate and always available for support. I've heard many client families and Seattle Children's staff say that NCC is the best for pediatric home health nurses and families. I love the client and family I've been working with for years, and the schedule helps support my own work life balance. My case is not very physically demanding so my body thanks me.

Cons

Salary, hands down. You could earn a higher salary at so many other places. Paper charting, narrative notes. Lack of advancement opportunities if you don't want to work in-office in Ballard.
