There is work to be done - Anonymous employee Kindred Hospitals Employee Review

Great work environment and supportive staff

I do not have any cons

The people I worked with.

I can say this now that I no longer work there: Kindred was both one of the best and one of the worst places I've ever worked. On one hand, I learned an incredible amount and gained valuable experience that helped me grow as a nurse. On the other hand, I spent nearly every shift worried about the safety of my nursing license due to what I felt were unsafe staffing ratios, some* poor leadership, and decisions that often seemed driven more by finances than patient care. I repaid my sign-on bonus on March 6, yet I'm now receiving letters claiming the payment was never received and threatening legal action. Fortunately, I have proof that the payment was made. What makes this especially frustrating is that I ultimately left because the stress of working there contributed to serious health issues, including a heart condition. I've attached the resignation letter I submitted when I left, as well as my ECG’s I took from my watch while working that resulted in me going to the ER the next day. Everyone's experience is different, but based on my own experience, I would strongly encourage nurses to do their research before accepting a position with Kindred Hospitals or Scion.
