Pros

You can say yes or no to taking on a case, being able to decide your own schedule (to a degree), helping to care for the elderly and helping them to be able to stay in their homes rather than be place in a home.

Cons

Very low pay for each visit and poor mileage reimbursement. Restricted autonomy. The fact of the matter is that this is a franchise, and when push comes to shove, all that matters to the higher ups is their bottom line and making money. Even though CHHA's are working under your license, management discourages you from truly fulfilling your responsibilities as an RN. You are told to not act like you are a supervisor of the CHHA when you make a visit to check up on a patient and their aide, but to act like you are a co-worker or friend, even though part of your job is to evaluate their performance. Management actually said "let me be the bad guy" rather than have the RN correct a CHHA doing something incorrectly.

The owners are great. The management is very supportive.

Pros

Get to meet wonderful people. Get to see into peoples lives, and treasure getting to know them. Ask questions, get to hear about how they got to where they are, what their philosophies are, their life stories, their advice. The opportunity for connection is limitless.

Cons

Dementia! I learned to love working with dementia patients but be warned if it's your first job with them. Don't take what they say personally. I wish someone had told me that before my first position. It's not about you. It's about them. Second! Beeoches. There are so many old ladies you're going to run into who are BEEOCHES. Don't be afraid to tell the bossman that I'm sorry, this isn't a good fit. I was too afraid to say something and ended up staying with a little old lady who was H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS to work with for two years. Former CEO of a company. Beeoch! Stand up for yourself. If you don't know how, this job will teach you. You'll learn a lot about yourself if you don't know yourself very well!
