Compassus reviews

Micromanaged. Disrespected. Nepotism abounds. The problem with this company is that it has so many small town hospices they are all managed differently and the management isn’t necessarily in the medical field therefore doesn’t understand what a nurse is responsible for nor her ability to be autonomous and make a nursing decision. I worked for this company for five years in 2 different states, Arizona and Illinois. It’s not about individualizing each patient’s care plan to them. All patients are treated the same and it’s not about the patient’s well-being and what you can go above and beyond ,it’s all about the money and getting as many Medicare admissions as you can, Regardless if they are hospice appropriate. They literally would punish you for not admitting a patient because they were not appropriate per Medicare guidelines. This hospice is a complete money grab.

I was told that I was in a leadership position but nothing reflected it. I spoke up several times about issues, inconsistencies, but nothing changed, same things occurred repeatedly, I think an open meeting or discussion would have been better, an improvement plan perhaps? Upper management tries to shut you down if you speak up. On one occasion was told that it was all in my head. Borderline abusive? I learned to do my work and not speak out. Upper management makes capricious decisions at times. When I called in sick, the details of why I called in were not kept confidential. Some RNs that work in the office setting do little to no patient care yet every nurse should be required to when you are so short-staffed and continue to admit more patients. Is it really responsible let some go home at 5 when other nurses are left scrambling seeing patients late into the evening, then still have to go home and finish charting, and do it all again the next day? Finally, program management not culturally diverse, problematic since you need diversity to be successful.
