Pros

Amazing nurses. Incredible group of caring and supportive clinical staff. On an individual level, all the nurses, physicians, pastoral care and social workers encountered are absolute dynamite who genuinely care for the patients and their outcomes.

Cons

It’s obvious this is a for-profit company. Financial considerations often appeared to take precedence over clinical concerns. The corporate staff pushes for admissions. They will be quick to take on patients without being willing to consider the global impact on their care. I’ve seen corporate be repeatedly quick to place blame on the clinical end despite dismissing several attempts by clinical staff to make them aware of major problems within the company. Overloading staff and under appreciating staff is chronic. Supplies are a constant problem. The field has constant turnover. High-performing nurses often seemed to receive increasing workloads rather than additional support. Nursing managers/case managers have high turnover as well.

Pros

At least it’s not the hospital

Cons

Salary, you will work a lot of hours at home doing extra paperwork. Not as flexible as they claim. Will tell you one thing and change it frequently. They will change your shifts often. No holiday pay. More call than disclosed. They don’t care about unsafe houses including violent patients or drugs use in the houses.
