Cons
The worst of the cons is the work load. As a CNA, I am expected to provide care for 17-21 residents EVERY single day. It is impossible for one person to give 4-6 baths everyday and change these people. I started a long time ago and I absolutely regret everyday I spend in this sorry excuse for a nursing home. I have been with this company over a year and I still make $9/hour. I started out with $8, but I get $1 shift diffferential, which brings me up to $9. I have not received a raise since I started. Every request I have put in has been ignored because I am not one of the admistrative “favorites”. I am absolutely disgusted with Pruitt Health. The admistraitors act like they are so worried about the CNAs answering a call light and “making sure that the residents get proper care”, but they NEVER help out by answering that call light or getting more staff. The CNAs are not ever recognized for their efforts or even thanked for not quitting this God-forsaken place. The nurses act like they are on a high horse and can’t do CNA work, even when they see their CNA is completely overwhelmed. Nurses at Pruitt health are disrespectful, they are controlling, and when a CNA is having a personal issue they say “get over it, we need you here and you better not try to go home.” The nurses also will not answer call lights, even though it’s part of their job, they will not do anything except pass their meds and sit in a chair and chart. The nurses at this place are worthless and lazy. Nobody cares about the CNAs wants or needs. We are worked so hard we cry when we get off. We also have a high turnover rate. I am the only person at this facility in the past year that was hired and didn’t quit. I made $500 every 2 weeks, I got health insurance, which is $150 every 2 weeks, not my check are less that $400 and I work 10 days every 2 weeks. This place is a shame. They only care about how much money that can suck out of the employees and even have THE AUDACITY TO ASK US TO DONATE MONEY/CANDY/ AND OUR FREE TIME SO THEY CAN THROW SPECIAL EVENTS FOR THE RESIDENTS. THEY SIT THERE AND PAY ME $9/hour AND ASK FOR ME TO DONATE MY MONEY TO MY JOB!!!!! NO!! ASK THESE FAMILY MEMBERS FOR THE MONEY OR USE YOUR OWN CHECK BECAUSE THE ADMISTRAITORS MAKE A LOT MORE THAN THE UNDERPAID, OVERWORKED CNA. Oh, AND this particular Pruitt health keeps bringing in homeless people just so they can use their healthcare benefits by filling a bed and making money. Stop bringing in more residents if we can’t handle what we got. The CNAs don’t even help each other because they’re so tired from doing their own work to help each other!!! OH, AND we barely even get lunch breaks and if we do get one, on our way to clock out we will get stopped 50,000 times because somebody wants a soda or chips, and when we’re on break in the break room somebody will say “where’s the nurse? Will you get so-and-so this, this, and this?? Have you seen their ——?? Will you help me put this money in the vending machine and hand me my food/drink? Will you heat this up from me even though I see you eating and I know after you touch my money that I just pulled out of the diaper I just peed in you’re going to have to go wash your hands again and only have 3 minutes left to finish all your food before you have to clock back in because you only get a 30 minute lunch break and you spent 20 minutes waiting in a line to get your food and another 5 helping me out and another 2 minutes washing your hands after you helped me get this?” We can’t even get an uninterupted break. If you close the break room door, somebody will open it anyways and ask for stuff and if you tell them you are on break they will get mad and try to get you in trouble.
