Pros
Well, it's a job. It will make you an independent, stronger nurse. You will see just how large company management thinks. And you will learn their is no 40 hour work week.
Cons
If you ever wondered why medicare is broke, look at companies like Amedysis which are milking the health care system for all it's worth. The more you do the more you will have to do. There is no "stretching" to meet state medicare guidelines, it is straight up lies. Offices are rewarded by the numbers. Now I know a business has to make money to survive, but this company is like slave labor. I've tried to stick it out for the past year, thinking the problem was just our local office but now know it starts at the top and is a trickle down effect. Unfortunately, it's sick and dying people who are given mediocre care by an overworked staff. I cannot tell you how much I have aged in the past year. New Years resolution is to get out. Started interviewing already. To show you how sorry it is, I am the senior nurse and I've been there for a little less than a year!
