Pros
Fantastic co workers (for the most part), wide range of experiences, wonderful patients. Good training, just an unrealistic demand on times & hours weekly. At one time FOUR mornings per week we were required to be on 1-3 hrs of meetings, phone calls, training.
Cons
Increasing demands to attend webinars, required meetings & phone calls, and required marketing events, as well as demands for better charting, took up more & more time, making it impossible to complete everything; we were charting every evening and weekend. Management & corporate told us that patient care was "not really" the priority, marketing was, and it was the fault of the nurses that census was down. When expressed trouble fitting it all in, charting many extra hours, told by EVERYONE in management & corporate that I talked to that they had done much more than we were doing & it's part of the job.
