Pros
I Gained valuable experience in Home Infusion Nursing and working independently in the field. Built strong, meaningful relationships with patients and provided continuity of care over time. Autonomy in managing patient care and scheduling.
Cons
Recruited heavily into a full time role without a plan to sustain it-No effort was made to grow the patient base in my area. My multiple proposals to help expand the patient base were ignored. Minimal to no support from supervisors or management. Never received formal performance reviews, feedback or recognition. Frequently ignored when raising concerns or requesting assistance. Vacation time was nearly impossible to take due to a lack of backup or staffing support, they refused to pay it out at separation. After almost four years, my position was eliminated abruptly and replaced by Per Diem nurses from an acquired company. I felt devalued and discarded despite years of service and outstanding reviews from Providers and patients.
