Pros

- Intense work environment -Clinical setting - Coworkers are generally friendly - Management is good - Skill development - Meeting different people - Benefits

Cons

- PAY! - Understaffed - No on call staff, so if someone calls out you will get more pts - Number of pts is never the same, one day you will have 8 pts and others you will have 14 pts, whereas nurses ALWAYS have either 5 or 6. - Not enough Behavior Health staff so you may have a super time consuming/frustrating pt in addition to your normal ones - No defined units, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hospice, orthopedic, oncology, so you have no way of knowing what to expect: exciting at first, however it gets old fast. - Pt attitudes can fluctuate from very understanding and thankful to obscene, violent, and demanding.

Pros

Care associates are allowed to do what CNAs do, but they do not have to have the certification. Entry level pay is the same and there are equal raises between roles each year. Part time status an average of 24 hr/week, you can work more than that and you receive full benefits, two forms of bonus every year, immediate PTO (80hrs/year). 12 or 8 hour shifts available, make your own schedule

Cons

sometimes short staffed unit, so work becomes fast-paced - if you like being active and constantly moving, this job is fun.
