Pros
Everyone is nice, helpful, and get along well with each other. BEST BHAs I've ever worked with.
Cons
Always working short staffed. They will tell you staffing is adequate, then schedule one nurse and one BHA per unit, which is nowhere near adequate or safe. They call you at work 30 minutes before shift is over to tell you that you need to stay an additional 4 hours. There is no counseling or therapy for the patients. No organized activities, so 16 mental health patients, with only one nurse, are thrown into a boring, empty environment and expected to entertain themselves, which because of their diagnoses, are unable to do so. Doctors and NPs do not identify themselves to patients, so they aren't aware these are the people giving orders for their care. Patients left to pick on each other, constantly tell on each other, and start fights.
