Pros

The honor of being able to care for patients and make a difference in the lives of others.

Cons

The Bottom line is more important than the people working for them. Miromanaged. Empowerment of the nurses as professional is not allowed. They do not respect nurses as professionals and do not encourage critical thinking and independent thought. That is why they cannot attract professional well educated RNs.

Pros

The nursing staff is incredible. They work tirelessly and focus on quality patient care. Not only do they care for their patients and the patients' families, they are very considerate toward each other. As a tech I had more patients than the nurses, and yet they would take the time to help me out with the morning care. I have seen a diverse range of clinical settings and I must say the staff at Healthsouth are the ones you'd want to work with.

Cons

They recently switched to having four staff nurses in the morning shift and two techs, which means as a tech you might have up to ten patients, and you have to get them all up by 8-9ish for breakfast. A great feat when a lot of them are stroke, spinal cord injury patients. However, like I said, the staff work together and we tend to get things done despite how hectic mornings usually are.

Pros

Good benefits, enjoy seeing patients improve after terrible circumstances. Good internal trainings on many topics of interest, worked with some very talented people.

Cons

Biased, orchestrated advancement for selected few. If an employee is not part of the "IN" crowd that is friendly with local upper management, there is little chance of advancement. Lots of cross training but in the end, used for the immediate needs of the facilities and then relieved of duty when one is not needed any more. Very disappointing
