Pros

Helping terminally ill patients at the end of life. Focus on patients and families. Good coworkers in the field.

Cons

Unorganized disaster. Poor Management. Everything is blamed on the employees in the field when management fails. They give you no direction and then blame you when there is a mistake. High turnover. No raises. Bean counters. Work every weekend. We don't get paid holiday pay and we have to work on every holiday. They give you PTO but then won't allow you time off to use it. You lose what PTO you haven't used at the end of the year.

Pros

Rewarding to help patients and families. No direct patient contact. Good clinical support.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. Non clinical leadership lacking understanding as to what Triage Nurses do and that not all calls are the same. Management by Exception practiced based on favoritism. Revolving door of Triage Nurses leaving and new hires requiring weeks of training resulting in the department being chronically understaffed.
