Pros

The self fill schedule and the pto The manger for unit

Cons

How about everything . This inpatient unit does not care about the patients or staff. Underpaid, no raises, under staffed , poor patient care and so busy charting and on phone nurses are unable to properly give quality care . The patients accepted to this unit are not even qualified to be on the unit . The admissions nurses are the worst and so uninformative to families . Some of the staff are incredibly rude and such poor nurses. Its a very negative unit and way to stressful for the minimum amout of pay . Its more like a sub acute floor than a hospice . There is way to much disorganization for this place . Poorly poorly run and upper management does not take a active intrest . They most likely allow patients up there who dont need to be there because of money and for a nurse your licsene is at risk . Im sure there are illegal things going on or at the very least very immoral . Do not send your family there

Pros

Very friendly and helpful colleagues. I came to this company with very little experience and all of my colleagues helped and educated me with all things hospice care. I got promoted 4 months after being hired as a clerk into a secretary job. Best job I've ever have.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Great organization structure. significant opportunity to growth for lateral and/or vertical transition. Great compensation for all disciplines if done right, a great work life balance

Cons

Initial hiring, orientation is relatively slow may be even boring process. organization values people too much and believes in helping growth of individual so much so that some time slackers are able to survive longer then they should. which can cause loss of motivation for highly driven team members. the way I would survive if I am motivated for the cause is do what is right for you and your patients, apart from that just wait for the right time. Biggest pain point is EMR. this organization is slow to the game but the organization is building and perfecting home built EMR product to have maximum flexibility. currently going through growing pains.
