Pros

No pros that I have experienced, Looking for another job! Beware, I should have read up on Springmill Meadows an ASC community before applying. JCAHO tagged facilities, there's a reason!

Cons

Extremely understaffed, poor working environment, nursing ratio 25:1, CNA ratio 13:1! This company has the potential to improve but just doesn't respect it's employees or residents. Nurses frequently chart on events that don't occur, because there is no time to actually care for the residents. Medications and treatments are often documented as done, which are not actually done. Supervisors often are found having scheduled meetings after meetings to avoid performing actual work, leaving staff nurses to supervise cna's that don't want to be there. Often residents are not given their meals, because dietary staff are on a strict time frame to serve meal, clean up and then get out! Nurses not only pass meds for 8+ hrs, they have to pass meal trays, record consumption of meals/fluids (to qualify the facility for government funded food programs)! Residents that don't get a tray are forced to eat cereal or old soup, nurses then have to chart on multiple made up items in an inadequate matrix computer charting system that doesn't accurately record notes, nurses do 2-3 skin assessments on top of Medicare charting, take off physician orders, answer phones all while nursing supervisors, adon/don, ED, have social pow wows in the conf rooms. The nurses do all the work while senior management run around barking orders adding to the charge nurses already over burdonded schedules!

Pros

Love most of my residents. Seems that we take a lot of behavior residents... Love the majority of my fellow nurses.

Cons

Management is a joke. They seem to be more interested in making sure they don't ever work any extra, and scrap booking. They treat nurses who work the floor like they are below them. Lie to your face to get what they want, turn around and stab you in the back. Also, forget about speaking privately with anyone in management. You'll come to work the next day and everyone will know your business. So unprofessional. Constantly understaffed, and they seem not to care at all UNTIL they have to cover a shift. Suddenly they do everything possible to call someone in. Also, they continually hire outside the facility for any open management positions.

Pros

The nursing staff are great :) Opportunities to transfer Overtime availability is no issue

Cons

We are constantly understaffed and its so bad that management denies vacation even if we give them MONTHS notice. We are still expected to do the work of 4 CNAs when only 2 are there. Most of the management staff are SO RUDE and so condesending that its making people run away. This company needs to stop buying buildings when they dont even have proper management in the ones they already have.
