Pros
8 hr shifts with option of shifts, 90% of the time OT hours if desired with little management approval and no real cap, administration is supportive during times of personal crisis in the way of allowance of time off or altered schedules,
Cons
No true nursing care delivery process in place on some units-nurse or aid ratio depends on numbers vs acuity, frequent staff call outs with no replacement and no concern from admin, few staff members, mostly staffing services employees, great cooperate educational classes but standards not put in place in the centers - little evidenced based nrsg, no incentive: no bonus, no short term disability, no 401k company input (you save your own money and only your money), $0.25/yr raise, all annual evals are >6months delayed, no 30 or 90 day eval given, if you can work here, you can work anywere, staff refer to it as a MASH unit, assistive nursing personal have significantly smaller work load them the nurses, nurses are not felt appreciated, constant struggle on per shift basis
