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

I have learned a great deal from working here and the time spent here has made me a better person. I have received valuable life lessons from patients, from staff, and the importance of compassion. I am ready to go, but I am grateful for the maturity this position gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, the life lessons I learned came by trial by fire. I do not want to blast the company because I believe like any place there are good and bad workers. I can only speak for my experience, and it has been an extremely difficult time. I hope my future includes working in a more professional environment. To any potential person looking to work for Vitas: remember each program is different, but I highly recommend listening to your instincts when you interview. When you go into the office to interview, pay attention to how the staff interacts with other. When I interviewed I noticed a number of red flags, but I ignored them and I wish I hadn't. That being said, like I said before, each program is different so I can't speak for the entire company.
