Pros

Experience. Very rewarding working with Hospice patients/families.

Cons

Having to work 10+ hrs day to care for patient load AND spend 3-6 hours every week completing redundant paperwork at home while being paid a salary for a 40 hr work week. Needing to apologize for the company you work for versus proudly representing them as a result of increasing demands, and decreasing ability to provide quality care to a fragile pt/family population.

Pros

Flexiblity. Do your job and no one is on your back. Management so busy worrying about other things and you are pretty much left alone as long as you do your job.

Cons

Very boring and slow sometimes Their computer program for care plans suck. Does not take other disciplines into account as far as documenting (as a non nurse, why am I rating bowel movements and skin tears?) Too much wear and tear on your car. Patients too far from each other. No consideration given for staff going into high crime areas. You are pretty much on your own because they are too cheap to pay for outside security. Staff warned not to mention to other staff members if they experience problems related to personal safety. Having to do on call sucks. They dont give company issued cell phones and you are made to use your own cell (this saves them money in the end) Absoulety no opportunity for advancement. No training, staff development, in-services or education. I really dont see how they are going to remain afloat-they cant seem to get their numbers up. They just cannot seem to get anything right. And once you tire of the aforementioned, you get treated like a leper by management when you announce your resignation...
