Pros

There is nothing positive I can say about this company.

Cons

This is seriously the worst company I have ever worked for in my 11 years of nursing. I would choose to work at a run down nursing home over Select. They do not put patient care, safety or quality first. They do not value their employees, especially nurses. They give constantly make false promises to try and keep you employed. 75 percent of the staff on my current floor is agency, they cannot keep staff nurses. The nursing leadership of Select is very far removed from actual practice. The corporate leadership is extremely profit driven. During our weekly patient meetings they spend a few minutes at most talking about safety and quality, yet they will spend hours and hours talking about marketing, expense control, and improving their profit. Also, when you work for Select, you will work for a company that actually denies care to patients if they do not think they can make a nice profit off of them.

Pros

The pay is better than most places- but for a reason. Rehab team fabulous.

Cons

Greedy for-profit system. Benefits are terrible. Unsafe patient assignments. This patient population is critically ill, unstable, and often come with infections, pressure injuries and other conditions they acquired at the sending hospital. Most packed ICUs send patients here when they aren’t progressing fast enough or about to die. You often have 5 of these patients at a time on ventilators, critical drips, complex wound treatments, etc. Due to high staff turnover you are often working with a staff who was rushed through orientation and hired with no acute care experience. Their clinical liaisons often withhold or fail to assess for pertinent information prior to them arriving and they often make promises to the families and patients that are untrue (they get paid bonuses to bring in patients- regardless of their outcomes). If you become a charge nurse expect to have a full patient assignment while rounding with providers, running codes, and doing admissions. Don’t expect support from your local leadership team as their expectations from the regional team are too high and they are also overburdened with responsibilities.
