Pros
Time outdoors driving between patients
Cons
Horrible management, little training, no assistance from manager when needed, constant write ups for charting after business hours 8-5, although managers/director are RN's they are business people and get rid of people who spend too much time with their patients and chart too much. They only want RN case managers in and out of patients houses within 15 minutes and expect all charting to be completed before moving to next patient but slam RN's with full loads plus any admissions etc. They allow their favorite employees to chart after hours but not others. They expect you to see a minimum of 6-7 patients a day, complete charting between patients and they never take travel time/traffic into account. In my case, as well as what others have admitted, I charted every evening, many times all through the night until the next day with no sleep And straight back to work just to avoid being punished for documentstion not being submitted the same day. Weekends were also spent charting, completing all the corrections that were sent back by management. When working weekends, you were all alone and were slammed with multiple admissions, visits that other nurses didn't complete during the week, as well as on call. Very high turn over from both nurses leaving due to lack of management and amount of documentation as well as firing people for asking for assistance/training. When employees are injured they fire them and make up other non existent issues and use that as the cause of termination. They are not real nurses, they are business people only concerned with money and productivity. All offices may not be this way but the one I worked at was.
